Unfortunately it is the rate that xfer fees are inflating [exacerbated by state owned clubs making a mockery of sky high buyout clauses] that is the bull in the china shop.

Today's figures are bizarre, but they are just figures. Don't worry.

The clubs should say, "You represent the player. Let him pay all the costs."

Very true words Erod.
Just imagine the value of the 1980 - 1982 squad based on today's prices.

Drinkwater for £35m, Jesus wept. It weren't that many years ago zidane went to real for £45m and he was worth every penny. To think sigurdsson cost as much just baffles me, the fees have jumped a lot in a short space of time and it seems paying that much is becoming the norm. Dembele to Barca for over £100m without the add ons, crazy! He got a few assists and goals last season and suddenly he's worth £100m more than Dortmund paid for him the year before!

It can't last. Sky are already struggling, with droves leaving. Without the TV money, the whole pyramid comes down.
The sooner it happens, the better to me. It really does disgust me.
