These are the type of deals that negatively impact the sport. City are spending €43m on a left sided CB when they already have one of the top 3 in the world.

Don’t really care when teams spend huge fees on starting caliber players, but the fact that these teams can stockpile elite talent like it’s nothing is just frustrating.

Maybe you need to hit a certain ratio between transfer fee and % of minutes played (excluding injuries) or you maybe you reduce the squad size down to 20 to avoid stockpiling.

Not advocating for some perfectly equal system like you see in most American sports, but after FFP failed to do anything to level the playing field, things like this need a re-think.
There are solutions out there that can shrink the gap between the super clubs and the rest.
