The summer transfer window has exposed just how complicated football's financial rules have become. We break down why clubs like Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Newcastle are being forced into difficult decisions, why transfer fees seem to make less sense than ever, and whether the Premier League and UEFA have created a system that actually punishes ambition. We also get into Fabrizio Romano's public spat with Florian Plettenberg, Sunderland's kit copyright controversy, why pre-season results are almost meaningless, and answer plenty of your comments.
