Transfer window will close before start of season 14:56 - Sep 7 with 9664 views | Landore_Jack | From next season, the window will close at 17:00 BST on the Thursday before the Premier League season begins. The vote was not unanimous and clubs will still be able to sell players until the end of the normal window. The window across Europe runs until 31 August. The Premier League's move means that while clubs will be able to sell until that date, buying activity will cease on 9 August for the 2018-19 season. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41188235 | |

Why? For clubs who tend to be more concerned about big names we could be losing over big names we're targeting, it would seem like it's a good thing to know what we've still got before the first game. | |

We'd have to get all our transfers-in done straight away, obviously, and if one of our targets had interest from Italy/Spain they might not be willing to commit themselves to us before the Spanish/Italians etc make their offers. | |

Since we've been in the PL we have probably signed 80% of our players after the season has started. | | | |
Transfer window will close before start of season on 16:24 - Sep 7 with 4079 views | Kennedy | Most of the lower league teams were probably for it. Us included, even though we sign most of players (since in PL) very late. I think it's more to do with big clubs unsettling our big stars whilst the season is being played. But before Siggy this year the only one can think of that went to a bigger club (after season started) was Sinclair. Be interesting to see (since PL) how many deals were in/out after the season started. | |

Transfer window will close before start of season on 17:07 - Sep 7 with 3994 views | Dr_Winston | So even though other European clubs will still be able to buy and sell players until the end of August, the Premier League will voluntarily restrict its own clubs from doing it three weeks early? What a stupid, self defeating decision. Either keep all clubs on (broadly) the same timetable or abolish the farce altogether. | |

I agree European Clubs can unsettle Premier League players enough for clubs having to sell without being able to get replacements in, surely it has to be a FIFA/UEFA decision to change the Transfer Window dates, its crazy otherwise. | |

Yes interesting. Perhaps with late / messed up this time, we realised we need as much time as possible. In good company with Utd and City but expect their motives a little different around other leagues having benefit of closing later. | | | |

The reality will be completely different to that. The window between foreign clubs and the EPL will effectively shut on our deadline day. The only players going after will be ones Clubs don't care about e.g. Montero. The ones in demand will understand UNEQUIVOCALLY they won't be going anywhere once the deadline has past - unsettled or otherwise - you're faking staying son!! Foreign clubs will understand this and deal with it. The only thing that will happen and achieve is business will need to be done early, which it will. Market, apart from bums closed 5pm Thursday before season starts. Hope this helps you and the Doc | |

Indeed. The window is opening three weeks earlier so the time scale is the same. I would think that the 25 man squads will have to be declared straight away after the window closes as it is now and once you're on the squad list you're on it to stay unless you're very expendable like Montero. | |

Not completely correct as it does leave the door open for players with release clauses to still be targetted and the "selling" clubs would be unable to stop them leaving or replace them. | | | |
Transfer window will close before start of season on 20:13 - Sep 7 with 3622 views | Dr_Winston | With these new rules we wouldn't have Sanches. We contacted them early and Bayern preferred to wait. We've voted ourselves into a competitive disadvantage. | |

Exactly, the transfer window is complete boIIocks. It was supposed to protect smaller clubs and limit cherry picking but it has the opposite effect. | |
