    Coaches view on mid season trades

    BRAD SCOTT

    "I probably take a step back. I think there's a couple of steps we need to address before that. The fluidity of player movement needs to open up a little bit. We quite often have players announce in contract they're leaving clubs and declaring the club they're going to and also players out of contract doing that. So they're not free agents but they're acting like free agents, whereas clubs don't have that flexibility. Quite often two clubs will come to an agreement on a player but the player will block that trade. I like the evolution of the game, but I still struggle a little bit with the cultural aspect of losing a player who's bought into your system, your culture and then playing for someone else in the same season."

    Some of the game's top football thinkers give their opinion on the prospect of trading players during a season


    I think Scott is speaking sense

    He is absolutely right. Players hold way too much power in negotiating even when trying to force a trade while under contract. The clubs would need to be able to unilaterally agree to a trade without a player blocking it.

      The clubs have full power when they are under contract the problem is when they come out of contract , if you don’t release them a year before the contract finishes you get nothing when it does.
