Asking FIFA to do a huge overhaul of the transfer fee system is like asking a Greek finance minister to balance your checkbook.

With FIFA's recent scandals and baffling localization of central leadership, it's maybe not the best time to organize.Transfer fee rules can vary from country to country, but essentially these fees are (usually huge) sums of money paid out to clubs in exchange for the acquisition of one of their players.
