Whilst the abandoning of the transfer windows sounds, on the face of it, a positive step forward, would that not present wealthier clubs in obvious danger of relegation, the opportunity of them 'buying' survival at the expense of the less prosperous clubs ? This scenario could be applied over all leagues and particularly those clubs owned overseas with wealthy sponsors.

To an extent, the January window already reflects this situation and perhaps, if we do stick to having such a period for doing transfer business, it should be limited to the entire closed season from mid-May to the start of the following season.

The other issue that clouds the process is the involvement of agents who juggle their clients or potential clients between clubs and adds to the complexity of the process.
