UEFA president Michel Platini has on Friday likened the current football transfer system to robbery and said he would like to see it overhauled.The former France captain believes the system makes players more like commodities and less human.Products-I think transfers are robbery, he told a media conference.-Today, the player is more a product than a player and that irks me because there is a whole lot of people trying to make this player make money in order to earn commissions, we should think about that and try to find something more healthy.Owned-Players are not free and are they don't even belong to clubs, they belong to financial holdings, companies or people, whereas before you belonged to the club, now it's a holding company or a financial company or one person.Platini feels it is not right and he has said the body is looking into ways by which such culture can be curtailed.
