Time to put the January window permanently out of its misery?

[DubaiSpur]

I've always thought the January window is a bad idea. It allows short-termist clubs and the financially doped to prosper at the expense of those that are well organised.

We might be one of those short-termist, financially doped clubs one day. Maybe even one day soon, if the stadium leads to us being sold. So I wouldn't want to get rid of such a useful tool for clubs like that, given the not inconsiderable likelihood of *us* becoming a club like that.

Sod the rest of the 'well organised' clubs - I don't give a damn about any of them.

I would not have a transfer window at all, allow clubs to sign players when they want. I would have a maximum squad size of 25(as we do now) and no harvesting players like Chelsea do out on loan.

Screw that i remember how it was before Transfer windows were first brought in. having to read all season about this player and that player going here or there in the rags was gonads to say the least.

Well I do not read such down market muck so I will have to take your word for it

I was more thinking that a cap on squad sizes and a rule of at least 5 academy players in that squad, we can do that now we are leaving the EU dont you know would lead to a more settled squad and any additional players would only be signed every now and again.

I honestly feel if the were transfers all season, Poch would still not buy anyone till the summer, GHod I love him.

Just have a 2 week window in July and a 2 week window in Jan. The clubs all tap up. We know it, they know it. Just have 2 weeks to actually get the deals done. Or even 1 week. Hell, most of this stuff is thrashed out in a few hours or a day, let alone a week.

I think I would go back to how it used to be of sorts with no real window but a cut off date whereby no more transfer allowed after a given point and for me that would be February 28th.

Bin it, bring back the loan window for lower league clubs to help them out if need be.

Plus it will see the end of Jim White.

We can do that now - when we leave we can make it only British players wont even have to include those foreign kids in the quota!
