When money can buy almost anything ENG-ESP
Link
Can money buy everything in life? I think not, it's obvious, but there are such useful and essential things that money can do for you.
Money can't buy greatness but it gives you the facility to get there much faster than others.
Every year English teams flaunt the money they have and spend ridiculous sums on players who are overrated. And they reinforce in order to achieve their goals.
It doesn't matter if there is a pandemic, world recession, war or whatever, English teams go out and get their wallets out because they have so much money that they don't mind spending.
This year is no different from the rest, as only two English league teams, Chelsea and Manchester United, have spent around 547 million euros, which is more than all the combined spending of the twenty teams in the Spanish League.
In England there is money and they do not mind spending it because it seems that they will never run out, because they are the best businessmen in the world or more or less so says a popular saying.

But that just two teams spend more money than everyone in an entire league is obscene to me. It really is vulgar if we evaluate the performance of those two teams in recent years.
Chelsea last won the league in the 2016/2017 season and in the 2014/15 season.
On the other hand Manchester United last won the league in the 2012/13 season. It has been quite some time since United lifted the league title and I do not see justified the waste of money they have made in recent years taking players who simply are not up to the level of a world historic as it is Manchester.
Chelsea, on the other hand, could save itself from a lot of criticism because it has been the best team in European competitions and is the one that has stood up for England in Europe with recent successes such as winning the Champions League, the Europa league, the Club World Cup, the Super Cup and other titles.

However it must be said that with the arrival of new millionaires like City, now Newcastle and the existence of mega millionaire clubs, the others have to spend more than they should if they want to stay in competitions with their money.
On the other hand, something that has seemed incredible to me is the amount of players that English teams can sign, it is almost unbelievable to me that for example Nottingham Forest signed the modest sum of 21 players in total, 21 new players that have to be paid a salary, it is as if they had signed an entire soccer team.
Fulham and Southampton signed 11 and 10 players respectively, and neither of them are in the top ten of English teams that spent the most.
It is totally ridiculous the waste that clubs do in England, they do it because they seem to have a free wallet to spend as much money as they want and they can.
Well to finish today's post the last piece of information I have is that the Premier League spent a total of 2,208 million euros, the league that disbursed the most money after the premier was the Italian League with 749 million euros.
Can money buy greatness?

¿El dinero puede comprar todo en la vida? Creo que no, es obvio, pero hay cosas tan útiles y esenciales que el dinero puede hacer por vos.
El dinero no puede comprar grandeza pero te da la facilidad de llegar ahí mucho más rápido que de los demás.
Cada año los equipos ingleses hacen alarde del dinero que tienen y gastan sumas ridículas en jugadores que están sobrevalorados. Y se refuerzan con el objetivo de lograr sus metas.
No importa si hay pandemia, recesión mundial, guerra o lo que sea, los equipos ingleses van y sacan la billetera pues tienen tanto dinero que no les importa gastar.
Este año no es diferente al resto pues tan solo en dos equipos de la liga inglesa como es el Chelsea y el Manchester United han gastado alrededor de 547 millones de euros, esto es más que todo el gasto sumado de los veinte equipos de las Liga Española.
En Inglaterra hay dinero y no les importa gastarlo pues parece que nunca se les va a acabar, pues son los mejores negociantes del mundo o más o menos así dice un dicho popular.

Pero que tan solo dos equipos gasten más dinero que todos los de una liga entera me resulta obsceno. Realmente es vulgar si evaluamos el desempeño de esos dos equipos en los últimos años.
La última vez que Chelsea ganó la liga fue en la temporada 2016/2017 y en la temporada 2014/15.
Por su parte el Manchester United la última vez que ganó la Liga fue en la temporada 2012/13. Ha pasado bastante tiempo desde que el United levantó el título de la liga y no veo justificada el despilfarro de dinero que ha hecho en los últimos años llevando jugadores que simplemente no están a la altura de un histórico mundial como lo es el Manchester.
Por su parte Chelsea podría salvarse de muchas críticas pues ha sido el mejor equipo en competencias europeas y es el que ha sacado la cara por Inglaterra en Europa con éxitos recientes como haber ganado la Champions, La Europa league, mundial de Clubes, la Súper Copa entre otras títulos.

Sin embargo hay que decir que ante la llegada de nuevos millonarios como lo fue el City, ahora el Newcastle y la ya existencia de clubes mega millonarios los demás tienen que gastar más de lo debido si es que quieren mantenerse en competencias con el dinero de ellos.
Por otro lado, Algo que me ha parecido increíble es la cantidad de jugadores que pueden llegar a fichar los equipos ingleses, es casi insólito a mí parecer que por el ejemplo el Nottingham Forest fichó la modesta suma de 21 jugadores en total, 21 nuevos jugadores que hay que pagarles salario, es como que hubiera fichado un equipo entero de fútbol.
Por su parte Fulham y Southampton ficharon 11 y 10 jugadores respectivamente, y ninguno de los dos están dentro del top diez de los equipos ingleses que más gastaron.
Es totalmente ridículo el despilfarro que hacen los clubes en Inglaterra, lo hacen pues parecen tener la billetera libre para gastar tanto dinero quieran y puedan.
Bueno para terminar el post de hoy el último dato que tengo es que la Premier League gastó un total de 2,208 millones de euros, la liga que desembolso más dinero después de la premier fue la Liga Italiana con 749 millones de euros.
¿Puede el dinero comprar la grandeza?

Over the 30 yrs of the EPL it's teams have won 20% of available Champions Leagues, and with 3 different teams.
In the past 5 years it's had 2 wins, six out of 10 finalists, and 4 different teams representing.
It would appear that money does talk and the EPL has more teams capable of making a challenge than any other in Europe.
Whether that is good, or right, is a far different matter.
True, good point of view too, I did not mean to say if it is correct or not, everyone can draw their own conclusions.
The funniest part is the players the two team got. Maybe because other teams saw how desperate they are hence the high value they place on players.
I hope they perform well this season, else it's bant season for them and for la liga fans like me, that's what we love 🤣
It seems to me that both teams were reinforced more or less well, however, it is true that the other teams usually sell more expensive than usual to these teams perhaps because they know that they are willing to pay whatever it takes to get the players.
The one difference is they are spending money they have unlike Barcelona. I do think this has to change and will change next year as already there are discussion capping the spend and wages. 70% of turnover can be used on the squad and no more otherwise points will be deducted. The difference is the English teams have a decent TV contract that is far bigger than the rest of Europe combined. I wouldn't say the clubs have great business minds as look at United on the players they have bought and let go for free. Their purchases have been over priced mediocre players at best lately and they cannot repeat that next season as the rules wont give them the leeway to get away with that.
lol poor Barsa doing business that seems to be a bit shady and could also fall under the new Financial Fair play rules. This is what the English teams are based on, a healthy distribution of TV earnings and advertising contracts as well, unlike the other leagues where two or three clubs get the best part of the cake.
What's happening is that teams are having to pay more as it's beginning to become a supply and demand scenario.
Isak was bought for Newcastle for £60m I think it was. Without Saudi money on Tyneside, another team would've probably snapped up for £50m.
