Because when you're signing a player from another club - you're waiting on them to be happy for it to be published as well which always strings it out.

From my days working within the industry - here is a very rough guide to the number of stages in signing a player from another club. And no doubt it will have changed in the 5 years since I was last involved with a deadline day directly via a club.

Approach club
Negotiate
Agree fee
Meeting 1 with player
Negotiate with agent
Possibly another 3 or 4 meetings with player/agent
Contract terms agreed
Medical
Contract terms finalised
Contract signed
Selling club submit paperwork
Buying club submit paperwork
FA and EFL confirm they're happy
Paperwork finalised
New club player registration finalised
Announcement media worked on
Announcement media finalised
Club interviews and photoshoot take place
Club interviews and photoshoot edited and finalised
Confirm with other club when you want to do announcement
Announcement made simultaneously


It's utterly irrelevant when the announcement is made, it can have been finalised hours before or minutes before.

Today is also pre-match media day, so plenty going on for our media and comms team already without additional announcements to schedule.

Interesting thank you.
It unfortunately won't stop people moaning about the lack of the announcement many many times in the future!!
 
There were Blackburn officials at Tuesday's game so wouldn't be surprised if they were looking at Cam with them having sold a midfielder to Palace for good money.
