“Europe’s Top 5 leagues “

The EPL feels like it’s in its own bubble. Players who look great in France and Germany, well when they move to Spain and Italy and vice versa, there’s little issue with translating it but epl there’s about a 50% success rate

Serie a bundesliga and Ligue 1 are top 5 leagues but won’t say they consistently deliver good acquisitions to epl. Infant other leagues are having more notable successes in the Pl

Liga Nos, directly from South America, la liga (excluding most Spanish players), championship and PL internal transfers are still more successful and apart from the PL they cost is usually lower to buy

food chain recruitment is so good. Rather than a big name in Germany. A player from Norway Argentina Austria Portugal to the championship or a lesser premier league club is bullet proof for the bigger clubs to sign after 2/3 years of development

We’re gonna see PL clubs continue to increase their investment in other non traditional top 5 league players. These players will then climb up the ladder. It’s the way and I think the right use of stats based recruitment supports it. Combined with good scouting of course

Different things to consider. Maybe non top 5 leagues improving their coaching, methods and sport science from youth set up to senior football, but main thing is we need a market reset

Idk maybe COVID might help this. Would like to see big epl clubs stop splashing out 60+m on players who have 1/2 years France and Germany. Just look elsewhere. Inevitably we will start to see these talents sell for their true value

6 years ago 60m gets you wc nullet proof signing now it gets you potential to be world class and the talk of the town. Avoid and refuse. These clubs like Dortmund lille Lyon leipzig think they can keep scamming us cus we’re the biggest spenders. Don’t buy till they drop prices

Lille were close to selling soumare for 40m. Bloody scammers. Everyone stayed away. You’ll get the same player but for his right value down the line. Dortmund want €120m for sancho. They do this cus they know PL will entertain them.
