English teams definately pay over the odds alot more regularly than others but I do remember Juventus paying 90m for Higuain, who is undoubtedly a good player but 90m? I don't think so.
I also remember Real Madrid signing a player called Illaramendi or something similar for 30m+ was a lot of money at that time too, who incidentally I ain't heard of since his move. Bayern with there 30m offer for Hudon-odoi is far too high.
As said though english prices are ridiculous alot of the money coming from the SKY Tv money and abroad TV deals now who have no care in the world for fans who turn up and without them, SKY and so wouldn't get the viewers they get. Football without fans is nothing, its something that really gets under my skin that.
Problem is it's only going to get worse before/if it ever gets better, it'll just end up like the yanks with there baseball/NFL with far too many adverts, when VAR eventually comes in, you can see it now, adverts will get played while they come to there decision
