Again, you're looking from the perspective of the one who sells as if we're not talking about a free market, if you want communism then you will be very surprised, it's even worse, there's usually one or two teams that get whatever they want when they want, happened in Romania, usually Steaua signed whoever they wanted to sign in that damn second, that's how they build the Sevilla 1986 team, by threatening the players with prison if they don't accept, eventually it was well understood you can't say NO! and they had no choice but to integrate, some, like Gica Popescu said no, but at the same time, he was spying for the secret police so he had an ace, only played for Steaua for something like 6 months in disgust, but he only escaped because he was a part of the system.
Here it's also about free will.
