Brentford paid £5k not £50k for DJ, and rather than laughing all the way to the bank their drive for promotion that season came to a juddering halt with the loss of their main goalscorer, so it could be said that the transfer window failed both clubs. DJ however came out of it well, seeing a huge jump in his wages and an increased profile - leads me to think that the only people benefitting from the transfer window are players and agents.

I loved that teams could wheel and deal in November as it was a big deal that Robbie Folwer was leaving Anfield for Leeds if I remember right. Someone can look that up. I can understand that teams would probably would spend way too much in transfers but there was something exciting about in the middle of December that a move is being made. I can unnderstand capping the movement of players by March 15 or something as that gives almost 2 sold months of having the same squad and beccuase it seems guys get hurt during Feb as the season keeps grinding on. <br><br>Anyway bring back the open transfer season to the Premiership as it really has taken a bit of my personal enjoyment as I liked guys moving aroud in September, October, November, December, and February..<br><br>How does the leagues in Europe get away with this transfer windows anyway with the whole restraint of trade talk I always hear about? <br><br>One of my favorite topics to rant about!

Anyway bring back the open transfer season to the Premiership as it really has taken a bit of my personal enjoyment as I liked guys moving aroud in September, October, November, December, and February..

How does the leagues in Europe get away with this transfer windows anyway with the whole restraint of trade talk I always hear about?

One of my favorite topics to rant about!
