Which, after some googling, there apparently is. So, as a fair-minded fan, I'll just hope both players prove to be worth their transfer fees.

The English tax is real. Jack Grealish for example might go to City for £100m... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When clubs sell their highly touted players for a lot more than they are worth. Especially if it's to other English clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKNuck96 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 English tax is that English players within the English football system are often overpriced in comparison to a similar continental player. it’s party due to the homegrown rule, but it still existed before then, and partly because they are a known commodity. The premier league is played at far higher tempo than the Italian, french and Spanish leagues so just because a player is good in one of those leagues doesn’t mean they can adapt to the style of play in the premier league, hense the higher cost for players already within the league 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
