Get rid of the transfer window

[Teddy Eagle]

I dislike the top teams hoovering up the proven premier league players to cement their status. Clubs like us have to take a chance on lower league players, improve them only to have them be taken from us (I’m not begrudging the players). It means we can never improve above our level and they can spend huge sums to keep theirs.
I’d like the top 6 to be only allowed to sign below premier league players and see how their elite managers perform. The money they waste too is criminal.

That would be fun. Liverpool used to regularly pick up players from lower down and did alright with the likes of Rush, Keegan, Clemence, Heighway, etc.

I would go one step further and like F1 have a maximum annual spend cap for all clubs. Say in the region of £250m. This would deflate the ridiculous cost for players and also their over inflated wages. This would then be a lot more sustainable for all clubs and more tv money could filter down. This will never happen as the top European clubs wouldn’t allow it because of their own greed and corruption!

I disagree with not having a January window because of injuries. Maybe it could be a loan window in January. That would also allow clubs to assess a few players before the summer sales window.

How about not having a loan window and clubs being forced to play the u21's instead . That would allow clubs to assess the players they already have and never give a chance to ?

TV money wont last forever. Sky and other providers of sports streams are down and they are losing hundreds of millions year on year .
The premier league will eventually cotton on and launch their own streaming service ,but they wont be paying the riches that sky do

Even more reason to have a spend cap to try and reduce the cost of everything . How can it be right that the bin dippers have spent over half of our annual turnover on one player?
The gap between the Championship and Premier League is huge, but the gap between the top 6 and the rest of us is becoming even bigger.
That’s why it is so great to give the big 6 a bloody nose every now and then.

What they need to get rid of is this recent 5 substitutes nonsense that Uncle Fritz at Liverpool demanded.
It was initially brought in to alleviate pressure during COVID but actually all it does now is give an advantage to wealthier clubs.
Look at this window. £69m for Hugo Ekitike only to bench him for £125m Isak?
Garnacho to Chelsea bench?
Eze to Arsenal bench?

These teams now have benches stronger than entire other clubs and they can bring on five of these elite level players to put a game to bed.

psr is to blame too!
