SAINTS legend Lawrie McMenemy gives his views on the transfer window in this week's exclusive Daily Echo column.
The 1976 FA Cup winning manager explains why he has never been a lover of the system that restricts when clubs can sign players.
McMenemy details the multitude of problems managers face as a result, and also wonders if the January deadline helped contribute to Saints' promotion rivals West Ham suffering a shock 5-1 loss at Ipswich on Tuesday.
