West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis admitted star striker Saido Berahino had been left out of the squad because of the "disruptive" impact of Tottenham Hotspur's bid.
"Why are we talking about Saido today?" he asked angrily.
"We're talking about Saido because of the transfer window.
"The transfer window is absolutely ridiculous.
"For it to be going through at the start of the season I find just ridiculous.
"Everybody should be talking about the game and this wouldn't be an issue or a problem.
"Saido's a great lad and it happens where it can be disruptive and it has been disruptive.
"I had a good chat with him yesterday.
"He's fine, but it's the transfer window that causes the problem."
