No it wouldn't, every rule is circumventable

The I don't get is how the Premier League could determine what is fair value is?
I saw an article when Man utd first kicked off saying their data models valued Branthwaite at £22m I think, yet they offer us £35/45m, so on that basis they are overpaying on a player like they are slamming us for selling Dobbin.
Most deals in football are potential based given most clubs cannot afford the real deal.
What we are seeing is prem clubs won't part with their better youth players for anything under £10m.
On that premise Everton haven't done anything wrong and Villa have certainly done more obvious dodgy deals. Which I hope the other 14 keep doing to annoy the scum six.

It would be more difficult to break a rule based on a hard cap. If there is a hard cap, a club can only spend up to that amount per annum.
The current system allows for inflated fees due to immortisation and "pure profit". The opposite would be clubs signing players purposely for lower amounts, like EFC signing Minteh for £5m if Newcastle signed DCL for £4m so they have more room to spend up to the cap.

In theory a transfer cap would be a smart move. But there are a couple issues I have with it.
You couldn't sign the best players in the league without swaps, as surely the best players in the premier league are valued over £100m
How would deals be made with the lower leagues and other countries? Would they follow a cap too?
You have issue with the top clubs will just price there squad at high values to try and weaken the spending power of the lower positioned clubs. So they can only make one big signing a season.
If transfer caps where introduced than you would see more free transfers and players refusing contracts.
I would be more inclined for a negative net spend limits in a season and squad caps to stop hoarding young talent like Chelsea do every year with their never ending list of midfielders.

15 years ago you could argue a transfer cap in the PL would weaken domestic clubs in the CL. Post pandemic however, there is little money on the mainland.
Barca are skint, clubs in Spain & Italy do not have the finances they once had. Its only Real Madrid, PSG & Bayern who you could argue have the means to be able to spend over £100m per season and the latter 2 seem to have reduced their spending in recent years.
I think if the league want some kind of rule in place, it has to be something that isn't based on revenue as we're seeing that its very easy to get around this, should 2 clubs be sailing close to the limits. That leaves the rule defunct.
A transfer cap would mean clubs need to be smarter in their business. No one would pay £100m for Grealish or Caicedo, therefore transfer fees inevitably are reduced or clubs need to instead look for cheaper alternatives. You also would see clubs less able to stockpile players - Chelsea and Man City could no longer spend £30-40m on young starlets to farm off on loan as it would limit how much that season they could spend in strengthening their senior squad.

all of this started after the super league fell through, it's all been manufactured so them 6 get what they want. Competition is rigged to the hilt to benefit a few teams and sod the rest of us.

Cant touch wages/a salary cap.
Would be challenged by players union in court and thrown out.

The clubs would have the salary cap, not the players. So in theory they could choose to pay individual players whatever they like so long as collectively, the squad doesn’t breach

Was saying this earlier and I think if we hadn’t gone “first” on this we would have.
At the time it was a bit of an unknown and we probably didn’t want to push our luck.

Problem is then the additional amortisation impacts profitability in future years.
