Re: Is it time for transfer fees?
I think football contracts tend to be ~4 years or so, and renegotiated fairly often if the player is playing well, so a good player will usually have several years of contract left at any given time.

Certainly as far as NZ’s concerned, the production line can only cope with so much attrition, so perhaps the only way it can somewhat defend itself is by imposing transfer fees...
