I'm 183 you tall freak.

2cm is **** all really, we'd look close to identical at that height haha.

Haha yeah I know, just didn't want to pass up the opportunity to slate you.

 

[Memphis]

Am I the only one who thinks pool got fleeced by Bayern for selling Mane for only 28 mil to them?

Looks worse with each game that goes by.

 

[Jatz]

Na, that's a transfer they do out of goodwill for a great clubman.

There are some transfers that don't need to try and get every cent.

 

[hawkman]

The global average height is 5ft 7in in Men (171CM). Australia and UK is 5ft 9in. Argentinean Men average height is 5ft 8in.

So yes, Lisandro Martinez would be taller than the global average height in Men. As I said, short for his position though.

I've got him covered but I'm under 6ft

Also got Cruyff14 covered

I wouldn't have let him go for anything less than 80 mil.

Is it goodwill to let him go at such a low cost also can mean they didn't value him too high either.

80m for a 30 year old in the last year of his contract.

Come on haha.

 

[Memphis]

80m for a 30 year old in the last year of his contract.

Come on haha.

He has another good 3-4 years in him.

Atm 28 mil is looking good for Bayern though isn't it?

Even in his final year that is way to low for a player like him.

 

[Memphis]

To back that up Jatz, did you forget how much Barca paid for a final year 34 year old Lewandowski?

You're not bringing up Barca as a good example for anything financial, surely?

Could Liverpool have got more than 28m? Yes of course. Did they end up facilitating the deal because of everything Sadio had done for the club? Yes.

It's not as simple as looking at it just like a financial transaction.

 

[Cruyff14]

Also 185cm. Surprised to hear 5'9 would be average.

I don't know a single guy shorter than me. Except Cruyff14 of course.

No way? Nobody at work/family/friends are shorter than you? Seems farfteched lol

Barca are an example of responsible and sensible spending are they?

 

[bok_party]

Unless posters are going to post their heights we'll never know I guess haha.

I'm 185cm

I’m 175cm and I play centre back

I’m actually renowned for winning headers too (obviously at a different standard).

 

[Jatz]

Yeah, women haha.

 

[Cruyff14]

Yeah, women haha.

Literally no blokes are shorter than you?

So you're the short friend, is that right lol.

 

[Cruyff14]

Of my group, yep. My close friends group has 5 and they range from 6'6 to me at 6'0 haha.

I know there are plenty of shorter guys out there, I just assumed I was about average.

I think most would've paid either that much or 5 or so mil less for Lewa.

But no I am not.

The problem is now that will be a standard for other star players, imagine them letting Salah or VVD go for that much as well.

Seems strange to bring them up then to justify Mane going for more money.

Jatz was arguing why spend more than 28 mil on a 30 year old in the final year of his contract, so entered Lewa. Barca or not I would've brought it up, but I'm sure most teams would've paid that much for a 34 year old Lewa.

But see the pattern here? Bayern oversell lewa and underpaid for mane.

Great business.

Mane has 7 million of easily achievable addons.

His best years are behind him. 35 million is what he cost the club and with no intention to extend his stay it was the right deal to do.

With less games and less physical demands Bayern is ideal for him.

That’s quite unusual unless you’re all Dutch or something.

I fluctuate. Usually 178cm, 180 with the massive combover and 188 in very windy weather
