[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)
- There are no rules against it and it has happened, but it is very rare. Calsicol 01:18, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- What you do get more often is part exchange deals, especially in the lower leagues. Morwen - Talk 12:44, 8 April 2006 (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)
[edit] Others missing?
According to your source, Football Database, 30 million pounds were paid to St Germain by Barcelona for Ronaldinho. The calls around 30 million are quite close. What are the differences introduced using €? Should more players be introduced in the list?
shevchenko was 30 million, veron needs to be taken out, the others moved down, so shevchenko goes into the list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.106.155.251 (talk) 15:30, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
