I think a lot of people who specialise in this stuff, they predict it will reduce to a more sustainable rate

It will come down before it reaches such ridiculous levels.

You were saying the same thing when Trevor Francis went for £1m.

Sandy was saying the same thing when Falkirk signed Syd Puddefoot for 5k in 1922

Er no, I didn`t say any such thing. Bit presumptuous of you to think I did.

So it’s Falkirk to blame for distorting the market.

Yeah but your memory aint what it was. In fact do you even know why you are currently talking to a random stranger outside Aldi on Tottenham High Road and telling him that it used to be the Roxy Cinema and it's where you had your first kiss with Beryl in 1946

I think its more likely transfer fees disappear all together and players just move on fees pocketing the fees via signing on payments rather than the club.

Well I do live in Sidcup, Kent so fair enough

Spending lots of money doesn’t mean you’ll win anything.

We didn’t spend 100 million on Harry Kane.

Spurs are partly responsible for this.
Remember what you all call the "Levy Tax"?

I reckon Kane or Salah will be the first 200 mill player.

Neymar?

The bubble has to burst. Maybe someone will find a legal loophole and all games will become free-to-air, that would put the feline quadraped in amongst the avain pests.

I believe the bubble will burst Sandy. The TV money is not sustainable in my opinion. The last round of negotiations where the EPL thought that FB / Google etc might pitch in didn't materialise and personally I cant see why they would without breaking the mould and paying only for who watched each game instead of more or less equal division of income. Not being rude but Spurs vs Pool would generate much more global income for an opt in service than say Cardiff vs Fulham would for example.

The price doesn't really matter it's just paper, net spend is the important thing.

£1billion of new signings isn't a problem if you sell £1.1billion worth of players to fund it.
