Steve Bruce has waded into the debate about whether the transfer window should be shut before the start of the season or not.
He`s gone further and said in the football league there should be no window at all.

He adds, if there has to be a window, it should shut before the season starts. As he rightly says, they`ve all had weeks and weeks to get the business done but as usual, everyone is waiting until the last minute again.
Can`t help but agree. A shorter window would probably be more exciting anyway.

The Premier League and the EFL will both be seeking thoughts from member clubs on whether or not to close the summer transfer window before the season kicks off in coming years.
The current window, like many other major European leagues, closes on August 31 which is a full three weeks into the start of the Premier League campaign, and almost a full month into the campaign for sides in the EFL.
The Premier League shareholders meet on September 7 and a vote will be held on the subject then, and the EFL will also be tabling discussions and a vote next month.
The BBC quote an EFL spokesperson on the topic….. Read more: Transfer Windows To End Early?
Thoughts fine folks?
