I haven’t had a count of my house to see how many windows I have or how many windows that open for that matter but I think it is safe to say that the windows I have I tend not to slam shut but I just shut them in the way that I am sure it was intended I should do.<\/p>\n
It is the same when I am in the office. I shut the windows and lock them accordingly but – with a few exceptions – I don’t think I have ever slammed one of them shut.<\/p>\n
So I want to know what makes the transfer window so special that it needs slamming shut. Take a look around this world wide web of ours and you will see a host of news stories telling you that deals may or may not happen before the window slams shut.<\/p>\n
Maybe it is a stubborn window that needs a little more force to close it to the world or maybe it is just one of those that closes with a feeling of satisfaction but I think that if there is one thing that we need to learn this summer it is exactly why it needs slamming shut.<\/p>\n
I see no reason why a news story couldn’t say “Swans boss Garry Monk is a relieved man to keep hold of his key players as the transfer window closed gently this evening” rather than “Monk breathes a massive sigh as the window slams shut” – they both mean the same thing surely?<\/p>\n
I am sure as well that there is one day a danger that if it is slammed shut too forcibly then it may be difficult to open it again come January but of course that is another story for another day I am sure by reading this far you are bored enough as it is.<\/p>\n
But for now please think of the transfer window when it is being closed and wonder if just for once it could shut itself quietly!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
