Yep, I guess it was either a lazy translation or Blatter doesn't have the correct English word in his vocabulary and didn't seek advice.

I suspect the word he wanted was 'indentured' and now, whatever the value his point may have had originally, it's lost.

Excitement aside, it's an interesting point, particularly in the wider context of Bosman, which the current state of play is a consequence of and which was intended to give players greater employment rights.

Fwiw: Indentured servant
