The problem with wage caps is that they're quite unfair: football generates monopoly profits, but those rents will not go to the true necessary actors (the players) if there is a cap - just leaving the rents either at the clubs or at TV stations.
Much better, economically rational, welfare-improving solution: reduce monopoly rents - ban exclusive TV rights. Make TV like radio: any station can broadcast matches, if its willing to bear the (actual) cost of it. Perhaps it would be very inefficient to have several camera crowds at once, but you could still have the home team producing the TV signal, and then stations buying it, paying for journalists, and competeing for audience (positive side effect: stupid commentators could be driven out of the market by audiences :P). Just like there is a single signal in Formula 1 that is sold to stations. You could have free market price, you could have regulated price, all that matters is that you prohibit exclusive clauses, i.e., no matter how much you pay, the club can't refuse to sell the same signal to another station for the same price.
More competition in TV -> happier consumers, less profits for TV, hence lower payments to clubs, hence less money for clubs to spend, and especially for top clubs, which get bulk of TV money (so even if everyone makes less from TV, the big ones will make disproportionally less)

57m euro for Neymar, #hugelyoverpaid
Diving skills increased quite a lot at Barca :)
Always believed him to be a Ronaldo type of player, better fit for a team where you can play 'solo' than a team like Barca which has some kind of bodice where everyone has its role and the team is more important.

Well he is Robinho nr2, we will see if he does better in Europe.
What was Neymar's contract length at Santos?
What the ... 57 million for buying off a one year contract? What a joke.
Barca only had 300M* euro debts, what are you complaining about? :)
* number might be wrong, but the magnitude is correct
* number might be wrong, but the magnitude is correct
I'm not complaining. I'm just saying Barça is stupid to pay such an amount for a one year contract.
Bild: Mourinho and Falcao to Chelsea
was wrong, Falcao to Monaco as their owners chose
he is not the owner of himself to decide where to go, so he is like the computer players of football, you buy him and you decide when and where to send him

Not really. There must be an agreement between Monaco and Falcao too. So if Falcao wouldn't want to play for Monaco, he'd ask ridiculous conditions. Every football player that still has a contract "is not the owner of himself".
