What was the official reason given for having a transfer window, as opposed to the buy em at anytime, as it used to be.Last summer it closed before the season kicked off, but the problem is other European leagues didnt so you still have the issue of foreign clubs sniffing around your squad. If our window has already closed there is no chance to replace them until January. Its all swings and roundabouts for me - unless all leagues start on the same date you wont get a perfect solution
