Yeah, and isn't it weird that more of that hasn't happened when you think of how strong the Premier League is financially?

That actually there has been that kind of just limit on the player.

And I think it's also because the Premier League has been more

Maybe it's been a little bit more about kind of managers, star managers and star teams and star brands as names, really, rather than actually superstar players.

The superstar players have largely been at Real Madrid

Bayern Munich and Barcelona, to be honest.

I mean, Haaland's kind of a little bit of an exception to that, I think you could say.

And, you know, I still wonder if in two years' time he might end up at one of them as well.

But we have, as you say, we've usually seen that traffic going the other way.

Yeah, he clearly looks like an incredibly strong, resilient character, more resilient than he should ever really have to be.
