If you thought last summer there was mass change, then this summer could be even more spectacular.
We have players out of contract, players out of favour with the new manager and a possible new owner (American or Far East) who will or will not boost the transfer budget.
Lets hope things happen quicker this summer and we don't do the last minute panic buying that we saw last year!
When does it Open?The 2015 Summer Transfer Window opens Wednesday, July 1. Clubs might announce signings in June, but player registrations can't be transferred until July 1.
When does it Close?The deadline is 11pm Monday 31st August 31 for paperwork to have been submitted to the Premier League and so it is possible for announcements to happen much later than that e.g. Man Utd and Falcao was announced at 1.30am
Rumours so far:

- The second starts at midnight on the 31 December and ends 31 January if a working day, and again, if not, on the first working day thereafter, at a time determined by the Board.
- Temporary transfers can be made permanent outside of the transfer windows
