If clubs are willing to pay it then it won't stop. This and giving Qatar the World Cup shows how corrupt football is.
Instead of relying on overseas imports who really don't give a damn about important completions to fans such as the FA Cup, why don't we look at and develop talent in this country? The Kane's vardys rashffords and Zahas are out there. Are clubs too lazy to go out and find them? Then you wouldn't pay these stupid transfer fees and if the player decides he no longer has his heart in the club that developed him, he can sod off and we make a profit.

The problem is that there are not enough Kane's around to create the talent for 20 premier league teams that could actually compete globally. You would have maybe two or three teams who would play amongst themselves for everything (think Scotland). I may be wrong in this but a head count of English premier league first team players might support this (if I get really bored I might count them up).

That may be so but where does this type of spending leave the rest of us ? We were thinking that £10m is currently the starting price for a half-decent player but you can probably double that now (let alone the expectation over wages). We were fortunate to get to the Premier League five years ago but where would be today had that not been the case ? The gap between the Premier and the rest will get wider with an adverse effect on the Lower Leagues where clubs and their supporters will give up on aspiring to ever reach the PL dream.

You are right Shifty, but what is going to happen to change it.
Some of the top level of funding that is buying players for huge sums is also funding mass misery in certain parts of the world.
The world is far from stable and the imbalances from rich to poor are growing. Football is a very good yard stick to evidence this.
My opinion is that the big money causing these high transfers has got a good way to go yet and £200M or £400M for them would be the same difference to you or me as £20 0r £40 or less!!
FFP and all its good intentions is a complete joke which anyway is overcome with more money (fines).
Personally I watch it unsurprised. Do I think its healthy? No.
Is it going to increase? Definitely. TV (which the big money controls) will keep tipping more money into the clubs to overcome FFP. So the owners of some cable networks who also own the clubs will continue to manipulate sport for their own end game that goes way beyond sport.
Not good. Not good at all.

It wont happen but my hoped master plan is this;

1) PSG buy Neymar
2) Barca buy Couthino (sp) from the bin dippers for a vastly enhanced £120 mill
3) they also buy Hazard for a similar sum.
4) the Neymar transfer is ruled illegal and he has to go back to barca
5) chelsea and the bindippers sit laughing at Barca as they are now ruined.

substitute 4 onwards for;

4) the Qataris spend all this money to then see the world cup taken away from them on fraud grounds.
