Premier League club regret early transfer window

|

Premier League clubs are understood to regret voting to bring forward the end of the transfer window in a World Cup year says the Daily Mail today. The summer window will close on Thursday August 9th at 5pm ahead of the first round of top-flight fixtures two days later.

But all Premier League clubs are finding that the early deadline is working against them, since the fees being quoted for players remain sky-high and there is less time to negotiate more realistic prices.

The later closure of the window in Europe means foreign clubs will wait until after August 9th in the hope of picking up Premier League players on the cheap, when selling abroad is the only option.

    The rest of the leagues in Europe should have followed suit, it is absolutely the right thing we have done it makes no sense to have the window open when the season has started if we are going to do that may aswell just keep it open indefinitely, now all the clubs should refuse to sell all but the dregs in their squads, I think the managers will be happier also.
