    English clubs are a great ride. Any club in England paid a fortune for any player.

    Tottenham, a club in the middle of the table, pays more than 60 million euros for only 3 players. Even Everton paid more than 18 million by a single player. Anda much money in that league.

    OFF-Topic
    The site already has that feature where we could verify the transfer of all players in various leagues, with the values involved in the business?

    The English clubs pay dearly for quality players to feed a league of quality and provide the public spectacle of their quality, therefore the public also adheres. Just to compare some numbers.

    The journey of the 13 Premier League took the stage about 35 923 spectators in all 8 games, the game was the most crowded Braga Beleneses-7-193 (Source: Ojogo.pt).

    Tottenham Hotspur and Everton media is 35 909 and 35 160 spectators per game in their stadium (Source: soccernet.com)

    Depending on the area of the stadium, opponents and membership tickets range from 14 to 80 pounds (1 pound sterling (GBP) = 1.05676 Euro (EUR)) which means that the game collect the media about 1,687,723.00 Pounds per game.

    The Premier League is the most watched league in the world through the TV channels are public or private, which means they are a lot of money coming into the coffers of the clubs with rights.

    Why not pay?

    in my opinion the Ronaldinho is worth more than miln not paid for what he ta play but by what he played milan paid less than 21,000,000 for the coming of the same as manchester city paid a little less than 24,000 .000 Jo that he already contrado in 2009 by 27,500,000 euros for porchasmouth.

    The most expensive player in the world was the Espinosa.

  20. Junior on October 20, 2009 18:05

    Matheus, if I'm not mistaken the signings of Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka are in the 2009/2010 season .. that ai is the year 2008/2009

  21. Julian on December 26, 2009 12:01

    is cool / interesting to see that several of these contracts did not bring many results

    daniel alves was very expensive for a right back, but still it was well worth hiring more than berbatov, robinho, etc. ..

    not to mention some absurd kind jo and amauri (the second most by the supposed value, since oo jo serves neither pro barueri)

  22. Rodrigo on December 28, 2009 2:33

    has every absurd this list ...
    or roll a nice money laundering in some clubs or just have people who like to throw money away ...
    these players do not deserve to below € 10,000,000 ever!
