Yea, I guess PSG did it more distastefully than others with their 400m on 2 players in 2017. And blew up the market so that every club could add 40-50m on what the player was really worth. Hell, if Neymar went for 222m. anything is possible.
Bad take when you see the 10 most expensive deals in PL he quoted :
Angel Di Maria to MU, Romelu Lukaku, De Bruyne and Pobga (number 1) happened before Neybapp?.
City were also breaking records for defenders way before Neybapp?. Don't forget Mangala.
And despite having happened decades ago, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale or even Zidane would be in that chart.
I have already explained my viewpoint. From the beginning, football was won thanks to money (Madrid buying Kopa, first french player leaving the country like that and considered a traitor at the time). After time pass and success is acquired, fans will romanticize the club with their "history", "legacy" or whatever and deny the same to the new players. Chelsea were hated at the time and nowadays, everyone forget about them and focus on City and PSG because they are the new kids on the block.
Who is hating on Berlusconi Milan ? No one, it is considered a great club. You just need to actually win the trophies to be accepted. So far, PSG and City have failed to do that.
