There's a good article linked below in which Wenger sees the end of transfer fees (and to a certain extent contracts) all together. To a certain extent, I agree with what is said - how do you keep a player (or make him play to the best of his ability) when he has openly stated that he does not want to remain at his current club?

Which would see the end of lower league clubs for good. Whilst I admire Wenger for his work, he sometimes talks as much drivel as Blatter. Headhunting goes on in all forms of buisness, and will continue for many years. The system of contracts will remain as will transfer fee's. If a player decides its time to move on, then let them go. They will soon learn that the grass isnt always greener (Michael Owen, Anelka etc)
I also find it rich when Utd moan about Real "persuading" one of their players to join them - Owen Hargreaves anyone?
