Talk:Transfer window

message: Perhaps the whole article should be revised. For one it does not show dates around the world. Only dates for Europe, which is not good. There should be a way to organize this (into multiple articles or some kind of sub section).
There should be something about why there is a transfer window, i.e. what the justification for having it was supposed to be. Yeah, I know Be Bold, but the entire reason I came to the article was to find out, and there seems little help on a number of other sites I tried to find a reason. I can find other sides explaining how it works as well, and there is a huge amount of hits in any search including the term transfer window of course, but none explain why it was brought in, apart from suggesting it was in European football for at least some time previously (FIFAs site particularly is a nightmare to try and find this sort of stuff on). --81.150.229.68 (talk) 12:23, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Section Needs Revision 

message: Good entry.  I just googled transfer window to find out how long it lasts for and this is an informative entry with good links.  Thx. 160.39.98.5 (talk) 17:47, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Free agents? 

message: I have inserted Italy and Spain in the first table for including all major European leagues, but citation is still missing. What are the translations of "transfer window" or "registration period" to Italian/Spanish? These would be good Google starting points. Kq-hit (talk) 07:02, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sources for Italy and Spain transfer window 

message: Where these exist, it would be good to have them explained.  For example, why is the mid-season window for most of Europe the whole of January, and 2 extra days this year (i.e. 33 days), when the rules say "may not exceed four weeks"?  How is it that divisions below the premiership in England have separate loan windows?  Kevin McE (talk) 12:06, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: From the article: "If the last day of a transfer window is on a weekend, the deadline can be extended to the following Monday at the request of those involved for business reasons." -- Kq-hit (talk) 05:36, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: But the FIFA regulation cited says that the mid-season window "may not exceed four weeks".  4 weeks is 28 days.  On what authority is it extended to 31 days, yet alone 33, and maybe a bit more if it is too snowy to send a fax? Kevin McE (talk) 21:42, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Discrepancies between FIFA regulations and application of the law 

message: Why does the word "mercato" redirect to this article? I don't see anything about the word in this article. Can someone please explain this?-Schnurrbart (talk) 22:36, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mercato 

message: The Premier League handbook which is the first listed source clearly states:
"The first Transfer Window in any year shall commence at midnight on the last day of the Season and shall end on 31st August"
1st of July is clearly incorrect, please stop editing it to this.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.169.9.61 (talk) 22:51, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  English Transfer Window 

message: What this article badly lacks is any discussion of what transfer windows are for and why teams cannot simply buy and sell players at any time. There must have been some pressing need that was met by bringing all this in, even if the system's merits are disputed by many. Someone on this talk page above has had a go at explaining some of the things the article skips over, but this really needs to be in the article, supported by good sources. Until something is incorporated, I as an average uninformed reader am left scratching my head about this concept. Credulity (talk) 16:26, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rationale behind transfer windows 

message: Not sure how to edit properly so apologies, but I found something that suggests most of the deadlines for winter are wrong. Herehttp://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/news/features/european-winter-transfer-window-dates-in-full.html again I've probably edited this incredibly wrong, or gotten it completely wrong anyway 86.20.215.183 (talk) 08:22, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dates wrong? 

message: I definitely think there needs to be a section on this article dedicated to the Emergency Loan Transfer Windows and explaining it in detail. Anyone up for helping me? There isn't many sources which can be used as a reference. I've found this which can be used. IJA (talk) 19:38, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
