they surely won't make an exception. I remember Red Bull Salzburg once missed the deadline by a minute or so when they tried to sign Robert Vittek from a Turkish club a few years ago, and they didn't make an exception either. I kind of get it too - you simply don't want to set a precedent either because then everybody wants an exception. It's just brutal for the parties involved, but I understand the "deadline is deadline" stance for sure.
