Iako se svjetska ekonomija navodno nalazi u globalnoj recesiji, to nimalo ne smeta fudbalskim klubovima da plaćaju basnoslovne iznose za transfere igrača.
Engleski list Daily Mail napravio je listu najvećih engleskih klubova i njihovih obaranja rekorda u visini transfera od kako se od 1992. godine igra Premier liga.
Mnogi engleski klubovi ruše svoje rekorde kada je visina transfera u pitanju posljednjih godina, kao i u ovom prelaznom roku.
Kada se uporedi visina transfera, recimo Dennisa Bergkampa u Arsenal ili Roya Keana u Manchester United, iznosi izgledaju prilično smiješni.
