Is There To Much Money In The Premier League ????

For anyone that has read my previous blog entries you will no that normally I Like to talk about Signings and make season predictions but today I want to talk about Premier League Spending and how its getting out of hand. Now I no you're probably going to read this and point out two points
1- I'm Man Utd Fan so I can't really call out other teams for crazy spending
2- This Transfer window is not necessarily going to be a record breaker in terms of money spent
There fair points don't get me wrong but let me explain my concerns and thoughts for the current state of the transfer market

I think my main concern for how spending is going this season is it's not how it used to be before 5 years ago teams like Man Utd and Chelsea and the other big teams were still spending 30 million on players just like they are today the difference is now the smaller teams in terms of finance are spending nearly as much not just on transfer budgets but on wages. Now I no this is due to the huge amount of revenue teams are making from Television rights and it's great that every team is now making a lot of money as it builds up competition but it comes at a price and that is the damage it does on the market.

Now you're probably thinking well what is it you're talking about what damage everything's great in the Premier League But in my opinion there's a worrying trend starting to take place. For example Championship teams are starting to spend 8 million to 10 million on players like it's nothing and teams like Crystal Palace and West Ham are giving players contracts on £100,000 a week now there's nothing wrong with doing this if you can afford it ' its fine but what it does do is then inflate everyone else all of a sudden if you play in the Premier League your price tag is double what it really should be and if you're English then you're value more than triples. A good example of this is Alessio Romagnoli he's basically Serie A version of John Stones a good young defender with a lot of promise and like John Stones will probably be one of the best he moved from Roma to AC Milan the difference being AC Milan payed around £17 million for him were if you want John Stones you're going to pay at least £35 million why ? Because he's young and plays in the Premier League, if he played in Italy would he be this valued ? No he wouldn't. Money is getting thrown around the Premier League like its going out of Fashion and all the teams are guilty of doing so my advice to any Manager would be buy abroad its cheaper because if you want a Premier League Player you're going to pay an awful lot. Although Other Leagues are catching on when a Premier League team bids for a player from Germany or Spain they  no they can get more money for them and I don't blame them Premier League teams are splash cash right now and the teams from other leagues no they will pay.



Overall I think the value's in the Premier League have gone insane and it's something that needs addressing because at the moment its going to increase so much that the standard Premier League player will cost insane amounts.I don't know what we can do to stop the trend but I think it needs looking at before it gets out of hand.

Let Me No What You Lot Think
