[edit] Transfer (football)?
Should this article cover only football. I believe that in cricket, basketball and other sports there are tranfers as well. Perhaps this should be a: Transfer (sport) article.
[edit] Beckham deal not a transfer
??? As the referenced below stated, Beckham's contract with Real is about to expire. This was a free transfer and does not belong on this page. Or am I missing something? Olinto 00:12, 13 January 2007 (UTC)Olinto
[edit] Soccer vs. American sports
Why is it that soccer players always seem to be transfered for cash while in America, athletes are usually traded for other athletes? Are soccer players ever traded for each other? Mwalcoff 06:32, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
- That is a good question... I wish I could answer it. Don't the soccer team owners use the cash to hire players? --Merovingian (t) (c) 06:34, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
It would be good to have a historic list of transfer records in here. I think the percentage that goes to the player varies, although it is usually nothing if the player puts in a written transfer request. It would be difficult to find out as it would be tied up with the players agent, which most clubs dont list Lazmac 13:47, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
