We don't have major limits in the transfer market.

The strikers are the ones that normally go for big, big money because they're the ones who decide the games, nine times out of 10.

There's always a possibility that players can come and go when the market opens.

I can no longer understand what the parameters are for valuing a player. It's all too random and in the hands of whoever has more money.

The buying power of clubs is very different. You can't sign players if you don't have money, and if there is no money, that's it. As a player, there's nothing you can do.

I can hardly think of any players that have really walked out of their own volition while there were still teams that really wanted them at a fair price.

For you to even enquire about one player, he is expensive. You go to buy a right-back, a left-back, or a central defender, and he is expensive.
