Transfer discussion thread

Lol.

He's asking why players who went for lower fees, later, are somehow more expensive than players who cost more a longer time ago when those should have been impacted by inflation more.

Thought that was clear from the conversation.

Has cruffy uncovered that the daily mail made up their inflation rates?

CIES transfer spending report:

http://www.football-observatory.com/IMG/sites/mr/mr37/en/phone/index.html

City with -1 billion euro balance sheet between 2010-2018 and have outspent Real Madrid / Bayern combined.

Was quite surprised to see how much Barca has made on player sales.

According to CIES our current squad is worth €1.2bn.

Do we win the nett spend trophy?

I guess you would if you sold your entire squad in January and didn't buy anyone to replace them.

Otherwise that would be a no.

Not sure that's what net spend means..?

Heartbroken.

I'd honestly prefer to keep him. While the money would be nice, Kasper has been our man for a number of years. Love him as much as I've loved any player over the years.

But you've got Danny Ward now who is better. Sell Kasper and get dollars!

I think that means you lose, not win

Haha yeah sure, 'better'

After that comment it feels like after all this time Moomba has had the opposite idea of what net spend actually means.

 

[moomba]

Relax guys. I know what nett spend is.

JT signing for Spartak Moscow.

JT signing for Spartak Moscow.

Good move for him. Will fit right in.

Bizarre.

That was out of nowhere.

 

[Pack Specialist]

On the bright side, it will make it easier to throw bananas onto the pitch if he's already on it.

 

[chef]

Yeah, all talk was he was signing for Sporting(been learning Portuguese and holidays there each summer). But not to be.

Fair chance we'll play them too which will be interesting. Hope we do.

Why doesnt he just retire?? He's pretty cooked. But I guess if someone is gonna keep paying you money then why wouldnt you.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

You answered your own question lol

He was pretty good for Villa last season.

 

[jd2010]

He would want to avoid extramarital business over there not sure they'd take to it as kindly as Wayne Bridge did
