Manage player availability Indicate the status of each player in the squad (i.e. whether he is available for transfer, for loan, for both or for neither).
Protect your negotiation position Choose the amount of information to disclose for available players. The visibility of each player’s details can be individually set in a range from fully visible (where all player information available) to fully anonymous (protecting key aspects of the player’s profile but leaving sufficient information visible to solicit interest from prospective clubs.)
Watch list Keep track of emerging player talent by creating lists of players who may become transfer targets in the future.
Available players short list Keep track of available players, both in and out of contract. Enquiries to these players or their clubs can be managed from here.
Compare players Review player details side-by-side to help come to the right transfer decisions.
Progressively disclose information A process of controlled disclosure is managed in the system whereby certain pieces of information agreed by the clubs are revealed so that, step-by-step, a negotiation relationship is established. If the clubs do reach full disclosure, they may use the system as a medium for discussing and agreeing the terms of the transfer.
Cancel enquiries at any time Both clubs are at liberty to step away from the enquiry process at any stage.
Seamless integration with TMS If the negotiation process results in an international transfer, a transfer process can be triggered through TMS.
