It’s time to overhaul the transfer window

IT’S over, finally the British transfer window has closed and football fans can go back to focusing on what really matters, the actual game.

Newspapers will stop making up stories about players joining a club when there is no source and might actually write stories about more pressing issues, like the importance of grassroots football or the amount tickets cost for fans, especially for the away supporters.

The money that has been thrown about over the summer on players has once again defied logic and belief. Every year, the amount clubs spend rises and with the new television deal it has meant teams can just keep blowing huge sums of cash on players.
