Is the current state of the transfer market a positive development or a negative one? Obviously, the insane transfers involve mostly the English clubs due to the TV deals and China but the overall financial bubble of football, is it really healthy?
The emergence of the super agents like Jorge Mendes and Mino Raiola with their questionable influence across football. I mean Monaco, Benfica, Real Madrid, Valencia and now even Manchester United have allowed them to become major players.
Is this insane amount of money a positive for young players developing or the huge price tags the players have including just developing footballers a good thing?
I'm not as critical of the opportunists as much as I am in dark whether the current system that allows this sort of thing is how it should be or is progressive towards making football better.
What are your thoughts? For or against and what do you feel could or should be changed? Does the transfer market need an overhaul even or some sort of policing/moderation to keep it sane and balanced?
