Market Moves: Navigating the Challenges of Football Transfer Markets
As we’ve discussed before, a team’s transfer focus is directly linked to its performance level and the relative importance it places on acquiring players who can help raise the team’s standard. Brighton & Hove Albion, for example, would be considered to be in stage IV of squad-market integration. They have a large and deep scouting network and have pioneered positional scouts who become true experts in specific positions.
This means they can identify and acquire players from all over the world. But their transfers also tend to be more short-term and focused on filling holes in the current squad rather than looking further out in the future. This is a common strategy amongst teams who compete in the top leagues. They must be mindful of how this affects their overall performance and how it can potentially impact on the competitive balance of their league. This is known as the ‘carousel effect’.
