Such a stupid move, while they wont be able to sign any players clubs from other countries can still sign players for about 2 weeks. It will also probably inflate prices even more because everyone knows English clubs will be rushing to get things done.

Agreed, especially the price inflation. Foreign clubs can just be like "we want (insert crazy high number here), if you're not willing to pay that we've got another 2 weeks to wait for other clubs to offer it so..."

I think it's the smaller clubs who have opted for this mainly as they get picked apart by the top half of the PL table but don't get as much attention from the elite in Europe.
