That's pretty much what Theresa May has done so you're probably right.

It took 7 years for Canada, and it's taken over a decade with the USA (and it's still not agreed!). For God's sake, it's not that hard!
It is hard and the EU has been the most successful organisation at signing them. Anyone can sign a bad deal quickly but to get the right deal done takes time. I think you'll find that sorting out a trade deal with the US is not easy... as chlorinated chicken and Bombardier have shown.
