Yep and I think it's exciting. The out-of-this-world-transfer-fees-and-wages-problem is a separate thing to me. Players should have the chance to change clubs insofar as the deal is the right for them and their club. And I think it's fine that there are transfer windows for that purpose so that players cannot constantly move about.

Agents and wages are the biggest problem in football for me, not transfer windows. They're part of the excitement.
