Supply and Demand. More money is flowing into the game while the amount of talent stays the same. That is a recipe for increased transfer fee's and for salary and agent fee's it's for the most parts English phenomena, which is starting to creep into mainland bit more. Players and agents see this money flowing in and want their piece of it.

I've seen many decent articles, but not one which would cover it all. Will try to look up if I can find some good ones for you.

It will go on until the bubble bursts.

But where is the money coming from? I'd guess a lot is coming from China, since they are taking interest in football since recent years. Do you think this is healthy for the game or should their be a ceiling?

How do Tv companies justify that investment? These are insane amounts of money. Will it be calculated in paychannels? When will people decide they rather pirate their streams than pay for your channel?

Advertisement? What if they notice that the advertisement doesn't give the expected returns, like adds on the internet? There is only this much advertisement you can air around a single game. It doesn't explain the huge inflation on its own.

Combination of adverts and subscriptions which is still obviously making them money as they were willing to bid far over the existing deal. Combine that with more countries bidding for the TV rights and it means more money for all, they will likely have to find a solution piracy but, with the money the PL makes I'm sure they will have a pretty decent stab as it
 
La liga officials have rejected an attempt to buy out neymars contract, surely they will get either forced to accepet or given a harsh penalty
 
Sometimes I wish the PL had more Irish in it.

First time ive ever not seen R.Carlos top of the list...

I don't know how anyone can compile a list like that and leave off to name but two some of the Dutch free kicks from the '78 WC or one of a multitude from Johnnie Barnes.

Talking of, that Carlos one Le Tournoi you referenced. Digger's first L'pool home goal was similar against Oxford. There'd been a sewer collapsed under the Kop so the first three were away and the hype was just growing by the game with the stories of how sparkling the footie was in the pre-24 HR Sky era. And he hits this free kick against Oxford the home opener that that started out well wide the post (I used to stand in line the right-hand post looking at the pitch. Which was heaven watching him down the left wing); and then it bent back inside. Alan Judge, who doubtless only you and I remember lol, never moved. One of those you had to be in the ground as I've never seen it on anything since. YouTube. Season videos. Nottin'. You hadn't been away, you knew right there and then we had a World genius and a super special team as that season turned out to be.

Great seeing Hugo Sanhez on that compilation. Used to love him and his handstands Madrid games in Europe on Sportsnight.

They always look the most aesthetically spectacular don't they? FK'***** with the 'wrong foot' back across into the 'wrong corner.'

This has always been one of my favourites around 7:23 in.

That was somewhat the point.

Utd are in the pack just trying to get pack into the top 4 as of now.

Only City look clear of that.
