SEMTEX Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Please ignore the fact that Rio wasn't until 2002 and Veron was the most expensive in 2001 at £28,100,000. Which obviously would increase the Berahino fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 So was Bellamy. Bellamy didn't cost £18 million. Bellamy cost £6.5m in 2001. I don't have 'average fee' data over the years, so I thought I'd reference the British transfer record instead. At that time Rio Ferdinand was the most expensive British transfer at £29,100,000. Nowadays that record goes to Gareth Bale, at £85,300,000. That is 2.93 times how much Rio cost. Bellamy's £6.5m * 2.93 = £19,053,265. So you're right. We shouldn't be paying £18m, we should be paying £19m. Was waiting for someone to do that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't be paying £18m, we should be paying £19m. Just to add to this, the biggest fee we received for a player in 2001 was when Oldham Athletic splashed out £150k for the highly rated David Beharall. Compare that to the £3.26m we received this season for Davide Santon: 3.26m / 150k = 21.73 Bellamy's £6.5m * 21.73 = £141,250,000. So as SEMTEX has already elegantly described, Berahino is well worth the reported £18m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm not a big Berahino fan I have to agree with this. Bellamy had two serious injuries by the time we bought him. Either knee or ACLs.

Guest antz1uk Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Cannot remember that antz, what happened again? Anyway was Remy ever disruptive? He didn't want to be here, clearly, but he wasn't a trouble maker afik. He's had his dream move and it's failed for him though, he's 29, he'd probably just have to accept that we're his level. http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/newcastle-united/latest-nufc-news/pardew-remy-and-the-1-2m-loss-that-might-not-please-mike-ashley-1-6640405 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Well what's that got to do with him being odious? The money's there, it's been there for ages and it's about time it was spent on quality so we don't have to endure listless shites like Alsoran scampering around. Not a lot admittedly I do think though that Bellamy's track record with things off the pitch was quite a bit better than Berahino's at the same point of their careers, and hadn't fallen out with any of his managers to nearly the same extent as Berahino has thus far. This should be factored into the fee, which I don't believe it is if we are planning on a bid for £18 million. So was Bellamy. Bellamy didn't cost £18 million. Bellamy cost £6.5m in 2001. I don't have 'average fee' data over the years, so I thought I'd reference the British transfer record instead. At that time Rio Ferdinand was the most expensive British transfer at £29,100,000.

We shouldn't be paying £18m, we should be paying £19m. I don't agree with using Bale as the most expensive British transfer - it's Real Madrid doing the buying in that instance and their spending power is far greater than any of the British clubs. Bale is also the most expensive player in the world, not just Britain, and an anomaly in the sense that he is the only British player to my knowledge to hold that particular accolade. Zidane, his equivalent in 2001, went for £45 million - 50% more than Ferdinand, the most expensive British player. If you instead use the most expensive player bought by a British club as the benchmark - Angel di Maria at £59.7 million (ignoring Martial and his weird add-ons until they kick into play further down the line) - di Maria works out at 2.051 times the price of Rio, which would lower Bellamy's modern day fee to £13,335,052.

He won't do a deal unless he can screw the buying club in some way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 However, it is claimed Newcastle are set to sign Berahino and Tottenham winger Andros Townsend, 24, to take their January spending beyond £100m. (Daily Express) £41.5 million each Many Spurs fans say Andros Townsend reminds them of a modern day Ruel Fox, who actually used to play for NUFC. We signed Ruel Fox from Norwich City for £2.25m in 1994. At that time, the British record transfer was £5.5m, recouped for Paul Gascoigne, sold by (would you believe it) Tottenham Hotspur. The current transfer record is held by Real Madrid, when they purchased Gareth Bale, who was ALSO sold by Tottenham Sellspurs, this time for a handsome fee of £85.3 million. That's a multiplier of 15.51! And Gazza was better tbh. Which means, with regards to Andros Townsend a.k.a. the modern day Ruel Fox, we should be looking to bid somewhere in the region of £34.9 million. (2.25 * 15.51 = 34.9) Which still wouldn't take us anywhere near £100m in January, assuming Berahino goes for the rightful price of £19m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
