I for one am happy to see clubs spending big on players I don't really rate too highly. I like Griezmann a lot don't get me wrong, but nowhere he is worth 120m, much less 200m. And yes, I'm taking into account the grossly inflated rates everyone commands. I know Liverpool are partly to blame for the Alisson and VVD buys, but then we already had eyes on them and the price tag was nothing we were able to do about.
P.S. Will the Italian rules also be retrospective or will any deals done before 2020 season starts be exempt?
In fairness to Liverpool FC, the Alisson & VVD transfer fees were covered with the sale of Coutinho to Barcelona for I think 142 million euros. Liverpool along with Spurs have a very low net spend unlike teams such as Man City, PSG, Man Utd.
