For
the so-called “bigger clubs” in football, transfer fees mean very little in
these modern times. Manchester City can afford to go out and pay £30 million on
an average player because their owners can afford to spend hundreds of millions
in the pursuit of that Holy Grail: the Premier League trophy. Liverpool are, in
some respects, in the same boat as City, as they can afford to spend a reported
£20 million on Ajax forward Luis Suarez: a player who has torn the
Eredivisie to shreds in recent seasons but is a slight risk given the history
of players coming from the top Dutch league to the top English league.
