Managers up & down the country have had months to lock down their squads but dither & panic at the last minutes anyway, the same will still happen regardless... Sorry, I was talking more about abandoning the windows altogether! Yes, we'd have the same problems with rushing, if there was an earlier deadline BUT surely there could be a more sensible timeframe for clubs to complete their paperwork? I also think the current rules penalise smaller clubs who can't afford big squads and suffer bad injuries. I just don't like any of it really. But that's because I'm of an age where I prefer the good old days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnigmaRam Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Will premier league clubs be prepared to,loan out their players as much? Or will hold on to them in case of injuries? personally think they should just scrap it altogether and go back to the old days. Might drive prices down aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram Bam Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I get that teams want to try and get there squad set for the season but surely cutting the transfer window by about a month is a massive mistake and is just going to lead to more clubs panicking at the last minute. There's talk of the EFL following suit and ending the transfer window before the season starts as well. How's that going to work when it kicks off a week earlier than the pl? Will pl clubs be able to sign players from EFL clubs after the window closes and not replace them? Or would the EFL have to have the same window in which case what's the point as the season has already started? We need to get back to the old system where you can sign anyone up until May, it's the best and fairest way. While I'm in full rant mode, who thought it would be a good idea to let the pl make their own rules separate from the rest of English football. They're obviously only going to make decisions that benefit themselves and it's just another way to keep the rich rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richinspain Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 The clubs most prejudiced by this will be the promoted clubs. They will have less time to try to build a squad capable of surviving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The window is a stupid idea, which will be made worse by the PL clubs effectively tying one of their hands behind their backs via this latest decision....

EnigmaRam Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I have no problems with the window shutting before the season starts but I personally think the loan window should remain open for an extra week or 2. This will allow clubs that players they've tried to sign who signed in the wrong box and cocked up can then go and sign a replacement after sending their whole midfield out on loan ? On a serious note. This would mean clubs aren't doing everything at once and once the permanent transfers are done and dusted all clubs can then think about loans after having to sell players without replacements on deadline day.

The article does state that the loan market would still be open until August 31st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjam Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I think the window should shut the day before the season starts... but won't it put English teams at a disadvantage if its not universal? Needs to be Europe/Worldwide imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
