For three months every year football clubs buy and sell human beings.
They spend more than £4 billion a year on footballers. The right deal
can help you win you the game's top prizes, the wrong deal can cost you
your job and bankrupt your club. Jim White and Kaveh Solhekol are two of
the world's leading transfer experts. Let them take you behind the
scenes into this murky, cutthroat, winner-takes-all, billion-pound
world.
Jim and Kaveh have some of the best contacts in the business. In Come
and Get Me they will talk to the world's most famous players, managers
and agents to take you to the heart of the deals that happened and the
ones that got away. Names Jim and Kaveh will speak to for the book
include: Jose Mourinho, Sir Alex Ferguson, Jurgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola,
Jorge Mendes, Mino Raiola, Jonathan Barnett, Kia Joorabchian, Harry
Kane, Jack Grealish, Raheem Sterling and manty, many more.
But has the time come for football to slam shut the window for good?
Isn't it immoral to buy and sell humans? Why doesn't football have a
draft system like the NFL? Jim and Kaveh will speak to leading NFL
owners such as Robert Kraft of the New England Patriots to find out how
they do things in the USA to answer these questions integral to the
future of the game.
