Doubt it macroban, there have been things like that written before. The fact is, the transfer fees were dropping, and then a very rich russian bought chelsea, and it went mental again, then a lot of americans started buying clubs and so on... I wish it would sort itself out, but we're going to give Villa ?18m for Gareth Barry, so obviously the madness is still happening. (I want us to buy Barry by the way, but the price is steep!)
