Klopp is such a good person. He could've bash Henderson, or (very understandably) tell people that he's lying.

Instead, he's very graciously trying to understand Henderson's point of view. Something that Hendo didn't do.

So, I guess it's true that 🎵Jürgen loved him more than he will know 🎶, even though he doesn't deserve it.

Could algorithms be the future of football's transfer market?

FIFA’s President Gianni Infantino recently reaffirmed his position as a proponent of technology in football, re-floating the prospect of using algorithms to determine transfer fees for players in an attempt to refurbish the current model with greater transparency and regulation.

FFP regulations have not been able to keep up with the soaring levels of activity and investment in the annual windows. The past decade has produced transfer fees previously thought unimaginable. Neymar’s transfer fee of €220m upon his move to PSG in 2017 perfectly embodied this frenzy.

Part of the problem lies with the unsynchronised and dis-jointed means with which clubs value players. Many factors contribute towards unpredictable transfer prices with projected image rights, current form, performance data, and even agent’s fees muddying the waters. Despite FIFA capping the commission fee for agents at 6%, uncertainty regarding the process of player valuation remains a constant headache.

It is not, then, a surprise to see Infantino exploring methods to somewhat modulate the transfer market through unwavering algorithms. Integrity must be restored.

Technological advances in recent years, driven by AI developments, offer bountiful opportunities across the game. Time and money can be saved in scouting, for example, by using algorithms and data analysts to extract grassroot talent from the wider pool based on a club’s favoured preferences. This hurdles the tedium of endless in-person scouting sorties.

New algorithms like these may serve as regulators for the international transfer market with an automated pricing model levelling the playing field, reducing the perpetual randomness of player valuations. These steps echo the 2018 FIFA Council’s pledge to deliver a reformed transfer system package.

FIFA’s Clearing House in Paris (FCH) is aiming to develop such a system whereby it becomes the centralised authority through which all transfers are processed. If successful, we could see a stabilised transfer market built off a structured pricing strategy based on years of data. In addition, a training compensation scheme would incentivise clubs to foster young talent, further restoring integrity to football and increasing profitability across the board.

The necessity for reliable data to underwrite these algorithms, however, is central to their success. Accurate data input is the all-important ingredient for any algorithm looking to generate unprejudiced transfer values. The monopolisation of this programme by a singular body, like FCH, would ensure that such a criterion is met.

Founded by Moussa Ezzeddine, Melon Coin, an analytical company that uses data to inform decision making in sport, does just this. Melon Coin relies on a store of data that’s been collected over the past decade to give the most precise transfer valuations possible.

The algorithm relies on transfer fees, performance indicators, media visibility and characteristics to generate its findings.

Melon Coin works with sporting directors at professional clubs to advise them of market value and ensure that, working alongside their scouts and coaches, the club can use its transfer budget efficiently, without over-paying inflated transfer fees.

Infantino’s desire to move in this direction requires similar tactfulness. If done correctly, we could see the resurgence of sustainable football.

Why new visa laws are good for English football

The recent change in visa rules for talented young overseas footballers provide a significant opportunity for Premier League and English Football League (EFL) clubs.

Other European leagues have taken advantage of England’s stricter visa rules, particularly since Brexit, to sign and develop talented young players who then end up moving and attracting substantial transfer fees when bigger clubs, often in England, come in for them. 

The Football Association (FA) and the UK Home Office have announced a change in the Governing Body Endorsement (GBE) criteria for international footballers coming into the UK, which will to allow clubs to sign players who show significant promise rather than those who might already be considered to be elite.

The FA can now issue ‘International Sportsperson’ endorsements that are not required to meet the strict points-based criteria that was previously enforced, which required international credentials for a footballer to be eligible to play in England.

Premier League and EFL clubs will be able to sign up to four overseas players under these new rules, and give them – and young English talent – sufficient playing time to retain their quota for the following season.

While there will justifiably be concerns about an influx of foreign talent blocking the way for homegrown stars, it’s hard to argue against the notion that the England national team has not gone further in tournaments consistently in recent years since higher quality players have moved to England from overseas.

“The revised visa system for elite players will provide a wide range of opportunities for football clubs in England,” said Emma Brooksbank, Expert Immigration Partner, Freeths.

“It means that clubs can now recruit young talent from smaller leagues around the world that would not previously have been eligible to play in England.

“Signing players at a younger age could actually mean lower transfer fees and thus more money to invest in the development of homegrown players as well as wider investment into local communities.”

The new Elite Significant Contribution (ESC) category broadens the number of domestic leagues around the world that young players can qualify from, while international appearances will still also count.

Ms Brooksbanks added: “The changes to GBE rules will certainly boost the English game and provide clubs with a wider pool of talent from which to draw.

“The fact that clubs also have their overseas visa quota assessed based on how much new homegrown talent they field during a season will ensure a healthy balance between national and international recruitment for football clubs – and that has to be for the benefit of the English game.”
