Arsenal boss Wenger: English way best - run transfer market through season

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger feels the transfer market should go back to England's tried and trusted ways of the past. Wenger would rather do away with the whole mid-season transfer window.

"You have my signature straight away," he said.

"Either you scrap it completely, or you leave it open until as long as possible to the last four games.

"It is like running a relay, then in the middle of the relay you change your runners."

Wenger said: "It gives teams a chance who are already convicted, it gives some teams hope.

"But when I arrived in England, the window was open until April, the whole season, and it was not a problem.

"Why did you change it? To create that high intense activity and suddenly in January everybody becomes nervous.

"Before it was the whole season and it did not create any problem."
