Premier League Transfer Window To Shut Before Season Begins

[Red London]

Is this a good thing?

IMO for Arsenal fans it means torture for a less amount of time.

Transfers will drag on regardless, they drag on because teams are playing chess with eachother and also sometimes pieces need to fall before things happen.

Shortening the timeline mostly just means this will happen earlier in the window and the panicking happens slightly earlier before the season starts.

Only concern factor is World Cup / Euros years. Will be tough ones.

Do you want the window to close before the season begins?

It’s a flawed solution you’d ideally want FIFA to get involved in to stop other leagues buying and selling once the season has started.

 

[squallman]

What's the rationale here? Having the window open distracts clubs?

Confirmed its closing 1st September

 

[Rasmi]

Stupid idea and we would be one of the biggest losers in this

 

[grange]

@A_G is this based on the meeting between the clubs or just an agreement outside of that meeting? Hairspray is losing it already in March so I can't trust him.

Great stuff, sick of the window dragging out.

I think it’s after the meeting

Brilliant that it will be done before season starts, gets rid of all the bullshit. That's your squad get on with it. The rest of Europe will eventually follow.

Can teams still sell players though? Because that makes it a nightmare if so.

A lot of top clubs are in club world cup so I can see why

Forgot there club world cup lmao. What a waste of time.

Glad they didn't decide to close the window before the season start and all European window open.

I read that Man City and Chelsea could earn up to £80m for being in it. It's offering close to Champions League money for the big European teams that are in it so the clubs are probably going to love it.

Yes true the winner take 100M I read. But I'll be surprised if big clubs will play thier top players they'd still be favorites

Have I lost my mind because didn't they already do this a few years ago then stopped after one window?
