Transfer Window 13:01 - Aug 31 with 1429 views

Should shut when the season starts, and not re-opened until the next summer.

The squad you have on day 1 should see you through the whole season

I disagree because that would encourage stock-piling of players at all levels? I think it should be open until March.

Indeed, should be abolished altogether.

For all the good intentions, it's now causing more harm than good.

But the authorities won't change it as it'll mean admitting something is fundamentally wrong in the game.

but no transfer window allows richer clubs to pick off players from smaller clubs who are having a good season.

As an example when West ham signed Payet and then had a good first half to the season, they were safe in the knowledge that no one could poach him until January

Jimmy, that makes complete sense and I 100% agree. It allows a manager and his coaching staff to work with the players knowing that none of them are going anywhere for the foreseeable future. Having the window close at end of August just serves to disrupts teams especially if they have started well and their players are in demand.

* Just re-read your last sentence from the original post, I still think that the January transfer window is left open, so 95% agree!

Totally agree.
I don't envisage clubs would stock pile players, in fact it would teach clubs to manage what they had a lot better and balance the players and budgets.

The FA Cup final took place on the 27th May. The window opened on July 1st. Why not open the window on June 1st and close it on July 31st?

Any change would have to be Europe wide IMO. Our window couldn't close weeks earlier than anywhere else, it just wouldn't work.
