    The transfer window will shut ­before the start of the season in sweeping new changes that are ­expected to be approved by the ­Premier League next month, ­Telegraph Sport has learned.

    Representatives from the 20 ­top-flight clubs are to attend ­September’s shareholders’ meeting with the majority pushing for a new transfer deadline to be introduced, preventing managers from buying players after the season has got ­under way.

    I was only talking about this the other day in the Liverpool thread, its about time imo. It's a massive distraction at the start of the season, teams should have their players sorted before the league starts.

    Yes it's about time

    Open the window immediately upon the end of the season

    And the January window should be scrapped altogether

    Evert team should be facing the same squad as everyone else!

    Should have been done years ago.The season started all across europe in the last couple of weeks and yet it doesn't really start until the window clsoes, the integrity of the competition is sort of ruined by squads not being finalised before the season has started.

    Just scrap transfer windows and go back to a March transfer deadline.

    Would only stop English teams from buying. Premier League does not count for all other leagues across Europe.

    So Premier League shuts their transfer window but other leagues still have theirs open will not really change anything.

    Exactly. Transfer windows currently only cover players being registered. Players can actually be 'bought' at all times, just not registered to play. In the current situation, it wouldn't stop Barcelona going after Coutinho or Dembele. Even if Spain/France/Italy/Germany, etc had the same rules, the seasons there start at different times too. Unless there was a Europe wide thing, it wouldn't matter. Start of June until the end of July should be the window for everyone, that would solve everything. Anything else is just window dressing that won't fix problems at all, except for Southampton of course :pac:.
