Paulb · 01-13-2007, 06:21 PM

Is the january transfer window beneficial in any way? Anybody got any thoughts on this?

for the punter it adds a little drama and saop opera to the mid-season lull, but most managers seem to hate it and i can understand why. it definitely adds a congestion to their workload. i think it evens it out a bit for the small teams. under thold system big clubs could buy their way out of injuries etc... all season long giving them a huge advantage over the small clubs.

It makes some managers panic buy. Usually cheap imports. If there was only one transfer window then clubs would have to use more reserve and youth team players. That in turn would mean clubs investing in youth development which could mean we have a decent National team in about a decade.

only purpose for the January Transfer window should be to buy covers for possible surprise long-term injuries... like how Luis Garcia will now be out for the season those kind of things, and maybe to get another chance to sign those players that you were trying to buy in the summer that you just could not close on, like Hardgreaves for Manchester United (I hope we get him)

Paulb · 01-16-2007, 05:43 PM

Should there be a limit on transfers in this window? Like gmanr26 says replacements for injuries. Or one in one out? Any thoughts?

I dont see how that would help any team at all. It would also come across what you actua;lly call an injury

Good point.

gmanr26 · 01-17-2007, 10:25 PM

which is why i specified long-term injury... and if they falsely claim a player injured and we suddenly see him playing 2 weeks later the team is penalised

goldenHuddlestone · 01-17-2007, 10:38 PM

But what exactly would it achieve

gmanr26 · 01-18-2007, 01:26 AM

I guess nothing different really ... :P
I know it couldnt work

adamlfc · 01-18-2007, 10:56 AM

i think someone said that it was gunna be a limited amount of money u can use to buy players

Hopefully make clubs invest more in their youth teams/acadamy's. Isn't FIFA or UEFA looking at limiting the number of foreign players to help improve National Teams?

I don't know if this would be legal any more. They did do this many years ago, with max 3 foreigners in your team at any one time.

The real panic buying will be the last few days before the window closes, which when O'Niell was at Celtic used more often than any other days - I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of activity then.

yea, the EU won't stand for it. under European law you can't have any such policy in the workplace regarding numbers of people from X country, race, religion, etc.

futsol · 01-19-2007, 03:31 PM

i agree....that are not right for restricted the palyers like that...

it will make the team quality downward and make the fans feel boring for the games

Learned something new there. I still can't find any beneficial reason for having the January window except the increase of fees paid to agents.

To replenish squads simple as that and to get more big names into leauges
