i couldnt agree more, it makes no sense......but the all powerful media love this because it sells papers and cranks up attention......not that the media have any influence.
I'm looking forward to Wednesday's 'football window'.
When does it start?
I like the January window best. It allows your brainless manager to destroy a decent team by bringing Reda Johnson in
Johnson, I can't believe the red flags weren't up when Plymouth were begging us to take him
Why oh why do we always end up relieveing other clubs of their rubbish, and signing them on 3 year contracts
Problem is that the transfer window applies to all clubs across Europe and different leagues start and finish at different times.
For example, the end of August transfer deadline is pretty much when the Italian and Spanish seasons start.
We could set a different transfer window, but all it would do is penalise our teams in comparison to others in Europe. After 31 July, other European clubs would still be able to buy players from English teams, but English teams wouldn't be able to buy anyone.
I also believe a lot of the player contracts end on June 30th, so they will become free agents from July 1st and this gives them a couple of months to find a new team.
