Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger thinks that the January transfer window should be completely scrapped. Wenger argues that the transfer window gives players far too much power that they can engineer a move away from their club.
Currently, Premier League clubs are able to make as many transfers as they like within the summer transfer window and then a one month spell in January.
But Arsene Wenger revealed that if he had it his way, the January window would not even exist.
"I am for (scrapping the transfer window). I would leave it completely open all year, or you close it for a whole year. But that's in-between," he told www.arsenal.com.
"Everybody becomes nervous from November until January. Then players maybe think, 'if I don't play then I will leave in January'. They are already less committed to the cause, it gives them an opening.
"We have gone from a period where we knew that if we didn't play, we still had to be committed to the club for your whole life.
"You had no other option but to fight for your place. There is not a position where the players have a quick and easy way out if it is difficult."
