Couldn't agree more that it makes financial sense, especially with FFP. I'm just basing my statement on history. It's time to come join the dark side and do some transfers the Yanks way
The Yanks are like any other country.....they do some things right and some things wrong. But this is one where they do it right, but it's right for a reason. And that's because General Managers in US Sports don't put a value on players in a trade. They put an importance. I will give you Player X for Players Y and Zed. Y and Zed are nowhere near the worth of X, but they fit my needs better, whether said needs are future ability, financial necessities or current tactical shortages.
That is not something football is incapable of to its own detriment. And that's why it doesn't work. Because finding two 8 million pound players who each side wants is not easy. Once somebody realizes that they can trick the market using it, thus gaining an advantage, this will become common.
