The Palace Fan 1,504 Posted March 7, 2017 I voted no for both. If there wasn't a deadline clubs wouldn't feel rushed to complete deals which means transfer fees and agent fees would not increase at the rapid rate that they do. I'd put a cap of one transfer every twelve months per player mind you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
... 3,420 Posted March 7, 2017 Without transfer windows the likes of Manchester City & Chelsea would be buying players as soon as one gets injured. If Diego Costa goes through a goal drought for five games then it's little bother as a new striker can come through the door at a moment's notice. Not having a window would also greatly increase the amount of player power, rather than a player getting a sulk on for a month because he hasn't been sold and then getting his head down for the February-May period anyone can literally have a tantrum for as long as they like, actively looking to push through a move for a full season if they feel like it regardless of how it disrupts his team-mates. Transfer windows are an essential part of football for me. I just can't imagine us operating to the same standards without them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smiley Culture 1,008 Posted July 20, 2017 How would we keep Mino Raiola from a life of poverty if transfer windows were abolished? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RandoEFC 2,611 Posted August 14, 2017 Can't remember where I read it but apparently it has to be unanimous which I find unlikely and I don't see how it works unless you agree on a universal new transfer window with the rest of Europe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smiley Culture 1,008 Posted August 15, 2017 Cannot see this happening tbh, if the window shuts at say 5pm on the Friday and the Premier League starts at 12.15pm on the Saturday, it suggests that a number of players signed on Deadline Day would not get the chance to train with their new teams, reducing the likelihood that they'll start a game the following day, which would ruin some of the vomit-inducing hype you get from Sky Sports. Ultimately, it's not a bad idea though there are issues like International tournaments in the Summer that reduces time teams have to sign players, especially those involved in said International tournaments.
