The Transfer Window opened at midnight and remains open until the end of the month. The FA have released this information about how the window operates.
"We will have people in the office on 1 January for when the window reopens.
"But it certainly won't be a case of us sitting by the phones waiting for a deluge of calls.
"Our involvement is simple. We act to pass across the money for the transfer of each player and then register that player with his new club, ensuring everything is done correctly.
"All that has to be completed by 31 January otherwise the player is not eligible.
"Nothing much will happen right away. Any possible busy time would come towards the end of the month as clubs rush to sign players.
"We cannot predict how hectic the market will be. We expected a lot at the end of the last transfer window and it never materialised. But we'll be ready whatever the case."
