“Deadline day”
/ˈdɛdlaɪn deɪ/
noun · soccer
Definition
The final day of either of the two annual transfer windows when clubs can buy and sell players. In Europe, it's usually near the end of January and August. It always gets a bit manic and senseless though, and is the soccer equivalent of Black Friday.
Origin
Transfer windows had existed in various forms worldwide before UEFA standardized them across Europe in 2002-03.
Used in a sentence
"It's transfer deadline day. Guess we better blow $100m on a striker with one goal in 192 games."
