Arsenal boss Wenger convinced transfer fees will be abolished

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes transfer fees are on their way to being abolished.

"In the past, you signed and you were there for life," he told the Observer. "Then you have seen Bosman coming in, then Webster. It looks like the balance goes always towards the player. And if you go to appeal, there is no protection any more. At the moment, after 28 you need only two years. I see the next thing coming is people saying, 'Why is it 28 and not 27? That's age discrimination. Why do we have to wait two years after 28 and three years before?'

"If it goes down to two as well, you go from one extreme to the other. It could mean the disappearance of transfer fees."
