Alex Harvey-Jones 0 Posted January 21, 2006 Just wondered what peoples'' views were on the transfer window!?Personally I hate it and don''t think its good for football. The speculation surrounding Deano and Greeno is clearly disrupting them and the club at the moment and it puts a huge amount of pressure of clubs to buy or sell during the short peiod of time!! It is having a big impact on how successful a season can be!!The main reason I dislike it is because it inflates the price of players. Imagine Norwich sell Deano for £8 million. Everyone will know the transfer has gone through. Everyone will know Norwich have to bring in a new striker in a very limited space of time and everyone will know they have a lot of money to spend. That gives the selling club a disproportionate amount of bargaining power and will mean that Norwich will undoubtedly have to pay over the odds for a striker, as failing to sign one could be even more costly!! Also it is clearly a handicap to the teams with smaller squads when hit by injuries. Ok it means that the big clubs with money can''t just go and buy a player any time thay wish to get themselves out of trouble, but I belive it is more of a disadvantage to the smaller clubs.I think the transfer window should be scrapped in the Championship for sure and maybe the premiership too as it will not do football any good!

Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted January 22, 2006 It is just something else which penalises the smaller squads in the prem and unsetttles teams in lower positions with good players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
