Blues boss Paul Jewell believes the transfer window ought to shut before the season starts believing the current situation to be “organised chaos”.
Jewell said: "I think the window should be closed before the season starts. Whether there should be a window or not, I don’t know.
"But if there’s got to be a window, I don’t quite understand why it ends in the third week of the season.
"Let’s put the season back or have the window close a week before the season starts and then we wouldn’t have this nonsensical 24-hour-a-day ticker-tape, he’s gone here, he’s gone there and cameras outside training grounds. It’s great TV but as a manager it’s just organised chaos.”
However, he says Championship clubs aren’t as limited by the situation as top flight sides: "It doesn’t really affect us in a way, to be brutally honest, because the window opens [for loans] next week.
"It’s only the Premier League teams who can’t add to their squads. There will be deals to be had this time next week from Premier League teams and I’m hoping we’re going to be involved in some of them.
"They’ll name their squad and the players who are out of their squad who don’t figure in their plans can come to Championship clubs.
"People get excited, the media love it, ‘What’s going to happen when the window closes?’ My fingers will get trapped probably and then I’ll push it back open again.”
Meanwhile, former Rangers midfielder Maurice Edu, who was linked with the Blues earlier in the transfer window, joined Stoke City before the deadline.
