Transfer
windows in the current time and age are akin to a season in itself.
Whereas in earlier times off season was considered a getaway from the
usual brouhaha of the ferocious August to May dogfight, the status quo
now is to expend as much energy in the muddle of the transfer window as
possible, and come away with non-existent winners and losers medals at
the end of it.
Money has never been in such great supply in the
beautiful game, and football clubs are creating the impression of being
blinded by the enormous riches being thrown their way with consumption
of the sport, both locally and globally, on an all-time high. Transfer
records are broken on a weekly basis, and the game’s capitalist forces
continue to determine the fate of the food chain.
