Is the me or was football more expensive in the between 2000 and 2001 than it is now?

Think about it: Hernan Crespo to lazio �40m. Anelka to madrid �22M. Jimmy Floyd Helbank to Chelsea �15M. Francis Jeffers �10M to Arsenal. Rio Ferdinand to Leeds �18M (although he was later sold for 30M). Emile Heskey Livepool 11m. . Juan Veron Man Utd 28M. Tottenham 11M Sergei Rebrov. Robbie Keane Inter Milan 15M. Christian Vieri Inter Milan 31M. Luis Figo Real madrid 37m. Zinedene Zidane Real Madrid 46m. Gazika Mendiata Valencia 29m. Paval Nedved Juventus 25m. Claudio Lopez Lazio 22M. Gabriel Batistusta AS Roma 22M. Marc Overmars Barcelona 22M. Ruud Van Ristelrooy Man Utd 19M. Francesco Toldo Inter Milan 18M. Flippo Inzaghi AC Milan 18M. Lillian Thuram Juventus 22M. Rui Costa AC Milan 28M. Antonio Cano AS Roma 19M. Hidetoshi Nakasa Parma 19M. Gianluigi Buffon Juventus 32.6M. Juan Veron to Lazio 19M. I would write more but I am running out of space. It is probably because of the transfer window, at least we know now why Italian football is bankrupt! Your thoughts?
