    True. Paid £18m for Rio Ferdinand in 2000 though.

    Which is only £1m less than our record signing 18 years later.

    £26m isn't a massive sum for a transfer anymore, especially for a striker. It is a questionable sum for a striker who turns 30 this season, though.

    My big hope is Leeds go straight back down, and the day after they're relegated is the day the government announce fans can return to stadiums in full

    I for one am glad theyre back. Massive club, massive fan base and a wicked city to spend time in. Any club that has that many fans in league one and the championship in my eyes is a real club and a credit to the league. Add in the bielsa factor and you have a recipe for a fun season

    And Everton paying £25m for Allan who is also 29
    These teams are buying players at or even just beyond their peak
    High wages and diminishing value, not the way I'd want to do it

    Maybe they think Allan is key to their success.

    If South American names sounded British...

    "So your full name is Michael John Christopher Louis Son-of-Derek Son-of-Jean Francis Stephen Smith?"

    "Yep, but me mates call me Dave".

    Was just reading that, think this could be the beginning of all matches on TV, which will be the final nail for some clubs.
