The EPL was once the crown landing spot in transfers

Not that they are lacking in quality of transfers, but quantity of quality. It’s a drastic difference in where agents will have their players land since the 90s and 00s.

Big money changes in ownership (PSG prime example), agent mark ups have become huge leading some squads unable to meet their demands, loan market shelving signed players etc. this is why I’m wondering if the homegrown rule has worked against their best intentions of resurrecting English ball.

Unless Brexit royally fucks up work visas, I don’t think they’re going down the path of becoming the next Serie A, but definitely seems off compared to other eras.
