In England, the summer transfer window for players has already closed for the second season in a row just before the start of the season - at the beginning of August. And although "Premier League" clubs can no longer buy players, they can sell them to clubs from other European countries, as the transfer window there will remain open until the beginning of September.
Such a situation could have a painful impact on the London team "Tottenham", which risks losing one of its leaders Christian Eriksen, but they could only replace him with another player in January.
Not satisfied with this situation is "Spurs" manager Mauricio Pochettino, who hopes that English clubs will decide to return to the old system in the near future.
"I have never supported the early closure of the transfer window, but at that time club managers were convinced that it would be the best decision.
I think that both our and other clubs' managers now realize that a huge mistake was made. I really hope that it will be corrected next summer. We need to return to the old system used by other leagues, which is especially important for teams competing in European tournaments.
It is obvious that I cannot be satisfied with the fact that in the coming weeks some clubs could unbalance our team. To me, this seems completely illogical and we need to rectify this situation as soon as possible," M. Pochettino said.
