the TV money has created a market where small teams have the option of telling the big clubs to either drastically overpay or get lost. It has never been more difficult more the top teams to buy good players at reasonable prices ... which in itself isn't a bad thing IMO, it's great that the smaller clubs get a bigger piece of the cake nowadays. It involves a big risk though too because players could soon refrain from committing long-term to those smaller clubs. If you are a player who only plans to stay a couple of years at a smaller club before making the proverbial next step, are you going to commit long-term after seeing the VVD situation unfold this summer? Surely not. Maybe shorter contracts and/or buyout clauses are something that we are going to see more often.
