Sure but the issue of transfer would fee would mostly impact the JFF's policy on recruitment & selection. For example I have not heard of them having a quota in the Reggae Girlz team at the youth level. They have that for the male teams. It is so ironic that they are trying hard to recruit 2 teenagers, Jinairo Johnson of Ajax and Tyrese Hall of Spurs for the senior men team. They rejected both players for the U20 last year. It is so bad now that players who are dying to play for Jamaica but were born overseas are coming to play in the JPL (Jahmari Clarke, Montego Bay Utd).

My focus though is not even on the selection policy but the hate in the fan base and subtly reflected in the media by people such as Oral Tracey and other members of the mainstream media.

There will not be a quota on the Reggae Girlz at the youth level until the JFF and local powerbrokers think that the local clubs are producing girls who they think are good enough to represent the nation. For now, they need overseas talent to avoid embarrassing defeats. The day locals think their girls are good enough and can merit transfers - that is the day the females will be referred to as "English rejects".
