Escalating Transfer fees
I just read on BBC football that Leeds have put a £30m valuation on Kalvin Phillips, for a Championship midfielder. It’s becoming sickening the money involved, only 20 year ago that would have bought you the best player in the world twice or 10 years ago Ronaldinho. It’s starts to lose any attachment to reality and just feels quite grotesque. Breaking the £100m ceiling has somehow created a trickle of inflation to other leagues. It shows no sign of stopping either. People bang on about signing players from lower leagues or abroad but really £10m wont buy you much anymore.
I don’t really have anymore to say other than it just makes me like football less. |

No one else will value Klavin at £30m, even if they have heard of him

Not when Leicester want 90 million for Maguire and Newcastle 50million for longstaff.

‘Want’ is meaningless. They won’t get that.

We'll Leicester turned down 70million so they won't be far off 90 if they decide to sell.

Bit like the over inflated property markets in most capital cities around the world. Everyone thinks their place is more than what it's worth and every so often you will get a mug who agrees and pays it. So it goes with football IMHO.

Wasn’t the latest tv deal actually less than the one before?

The problem isn't the valuations put on players, it's the money teams are willing to spend on players. Just looking at Aston Villa, they bought Tyrone Mings for £20m up front. Who the **** would negotiate towards a fee of £20m for Tyrone Mings? What did Bournemouth start at? They also paid £22m for striker Wesley Moraes, who comes over from Belgium having scored 38 goals in 138 matches. In Belgium. I don't know, maybe it works out for them.

Considering it was 50% more than Bayern spent on Pavard, yes. Yes I do.

Tyrone Mings moves for £25m. Top Championship players are now worth £10-20m.

Anyhue here are the summer transfers.

It’s been that way for a while. Last summer how much did Leicester pay Norwich for Maddison. More than £20m. How much did Burnley pay Leeds for Chris Woods two summers ago?

Domestic TV deal was worth for more matches
Overseas deal was worth more (so guess my charge will go up) Main thing probably is that international deal no longer shared equally. You are only better off if you finish in top 10.. |

The TV deals will gradually favour the bigger clubs. Us smaller clubs need to be careful as we'll gradually get less, it's probably partly why the Americans want out.

The AWB deal may have sorted that out but the structure can't stay the same. |

And yes the smaller clubs will get a smaller share going forward, we saw that with the last international tv rights deal. To view the link you have to Register or Login

Not just fees. Imagine the wages. I’ve heard what Jadon Sancho is on in Germany, made my stomach turn.
