Deadline Day : Football's Transfer Window

Each year at the close of the professional football season, a brief window of time for players to transfer teams opens. During this transfer window, tabloids are filled with stories from "well-placed sources" claiming to link players to new football clubs in a market characterized by chaos and conjecture. From both senior pro players who give back to their communities to young players desperate to join the clubs they support, behind each of these headline-grabbing deals are a tangle of real human motivations. These player moves are the most talked about but the least understood aspect of modern football. This documentary series provides a glimpse behind the veil of the transfer market which hopes to illustrate how the personal interests of the game’s greatest athletes can shape the destinies of the league, clubs and the agents.
