It’s the same for all clubs and is an exciting time. If your playing in several different competitions and/or had severe unforeseen injury pile up to key players. Why not allow clubs to strengthen????? Point in case is QPR I dearly wish they survive the drop after what Hughes has done to that club.It’ll be a miracle if they survive and a shame when they go down. But without January transfers they wouldn’t of stood a chance.

The only madness that needs to stop is the players’ agents. Read the comments from one of the West Ham owners. I’m sure there will be a few good ones but most of them don’t seem to have the interests of players at heart, only their own bank account.

Who says the transfer window is madness?

I think it’s great for the fans, we love the entertainment, and after all, football is all about the talking points, the drama.

I hate the way these killjoys want to sanitise the game, and that includes the protectionist FFFP regs, keeping the cartels in place at the detriment of ambition and equality.

There’s a very good reason why there’s a January transfer window: the South American leagues run from May/July to December.

For Brazil, Argentina etc, this window is between seasons.

It’s not madness, it’s part of the modern game. Adds to the excitement for me. Like the idea of scrapping Christmas football, ridiculous!
It’s entertainment, England won’t do better with or without a Winter break.
And the premiership will be less interesting without a January window, and your top players would be unsettled every damn week if you abolished the window altogether.

Just abolish the window it would help smaller clubs in financial difficulties, they could sell players sometimes to survive.The only winners in the transfer window are the agents,it’s a rat race.Don’t have the window and deals. Can be done hopefully more easily without every man(agent)and his dog getting involved
