I've grown up with the PL as I started following football in the mid-90's as a kid and I've seen it grow from strength to strength in terms of the quality of football and teams. Something about this current period feels wrong though I can't put my finger on it. When teams like Bournemouth and Wolves have got more sway over players than a lot of the European giants it feels a bit unnatural. Will be interesting to see how it goes if/when the bubble bursts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCFCJohn Posted 31 January 2023 Share Posted 31 January 2023 As well as Chelsea, what the hell are Forest up to. Seen that they are looking to offload summer signings such as O’Brien and Toffolo. Bare in mind these weren’t foreign signings who haven’t adapted, they knew exactly what they were. Just shows what a lack of plan they had, sign anyone and sign their replacement a few days later until they have too big of a squad and now looking to offload!

Saw something on Sky (I haven't verified their accuracy as they are hit and miss) yesterday saying if Chelsea sign Enzo Fernández, their season's spending on transfer fees will only be £5m less than the whole Bundesliga combined for the same period. Utter madness and unsustainable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically the ones like I have mentioned (the signings from Huddersfield) would be the type of signings to cover going down and being strong again. The direction they have taken generally will leave them in the shit if they go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad thing is that the FA are trying to reduce ffp in line with European clubs. Of course, the PL can reject or at least veto just how far the FA intends to go. I'm completely against it and I'm sure the PL clubs are too imo. I'm not an expert on this but I've read articles on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
