The ROI on the English spending hardly seems worth it.

Generally it's not when comparing team quality but they are kind of forced into overpaying for most of their transfers.

First, it's driven up a bit by the absurd prices they pay back and forth for English players that often wouldn't sell for 1/2 the amount, if that much, on the open market.


Furthermore, they kind of have to pay much higher transfers and salaries to attract many good players from all over Europe and South America. A significant amount of these players would prefer to play in other top leagues if the money difference wasn't so vast.
