    Just read an article about the breaking of world record fees thoughout the years and obviously with Bale being sold for £85.3m, the amounts being paid are getting more and more absurd, the question I have is when will the first £100m transfer happen in your opinion?

    Based on the list of the progression of the record from the image I posted on the Finally... thread, I would say in the next 5-6 years.

    As soon as we get a reincarnation of Stan Matthews, Tom Finney, George Best, Maradona , Pele or Zidane ? I'll throw in Waggy too.
    With the absurd money in the game now....give it a couple of years

    Don't think it will, if FIFA/UEFA can get their arses in gear, then the likes of Madrid, Man City, Chelsea & PSG won't be able to spend that kind of money, hopefully the overall transfer system will come back to a more sensible level.

    It just goes to show that there is a lot of money in the world; it's just in the hands of the wrong people.

    Disgusting. Shameful time for football. Children die every minute and all these rich ****s can think about is greed and a game.

    Hopefully football gets hit square in between the eyes financially and we can go back to being excited to shelling out 100k for players.

    I see his agent pocketed £5 million, unbelievable amount of money.

    Zidane stood for 8 years and Ronaldo for 4 years. So I'd say in the next two years.

    I think this is sad for the EPL. La Liga now has, IMO, the 3 best players in the world, and possibly the 4th as well.

    Agreed. I can't get into La Liga though. La Liga might be better technically but it just doesn't entertain like EPL. Especially when the 3rd place team is 30 odds points behind 1st.
