Ed001 we have spoken before about the financial insanity that is the transfer market and how certain aspects especially inflation has pushed prices of acquiring players.
Rinaldo', Bales's, Pogba's and Suarez's aside what is your take on the fee being reported for a player like Morata who is essentially a sub and is not exactly a household name?
{Ed001's Note - just the way it is. I think it is time football took its lead from American sports and became more transparent. That is more important than how much is spent, is knowing how it is spent.}

Ed I would champion that very much. Transparency is key element that should be addressed but in all honesty with some of the shady gentlemen you hear about with links to clubs I doubt that will happen anytime soon.
{Ed001's Note - there are lots of shady characters in US sports, but they have to be transparent too.}

Ed001 and maze.
I agree that transparency in all transfer dealings should be a minimum requirement.
There are a lot of things soccer could learn groom other sports governing bodies there is no doubt about that.
{Ed001's Note - personally I think, and this goes for every sport, there should always be a team tasked with just looking at other sports and learning lessons from what they do better.}

Totally agree ed.

Ed and maze very good thread something needs to happen soon it's beyond the joke there is talk of lukaku going for a hundred mil plus! A French child who's transfer fee is going to be comparative with the gdp of small nations it's crazy.
And I don't blame the players or the agents we all strive of do better financially it's down to the powers that be to put a stop to it.

Its literally the second coming of Christ! I would have him back in a heart beat he's my favorite player of all tine. We may never see another in our generation and for me the Pele of our time.
Come on though is nobody even a little excited? Jose did say 4 signings and maybe a surprise.
