gdm Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 So we sold our fringe striker for 16m, and get in a striker from Lique 1 for 5m. And this guy just score 10 goals last season. If you don't think this is a huge step towards the championship, you need a brain check. Neither has happened yet but I agree Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 The worry is that we know that because of the TV money, the transfer market is over-inflated. However, that's not going to change any time soon as there is too much money to be made by agents, etc. So the worry is that we could be left behind.

Darth Crooks Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I'd be reluctant to pay the rates the market is dictating too. It's lunacy but we have to recognise the nature of the beast and not get devoured by it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I'd be reluctant to pay the rates the market is dictating too. It's lunacy but we have to recognise the nature of the beast and not get devoured by it. We're getting shit loads more money than ever before as well, it's not like we're sat here earning 2010 money. Club needs to recognise this soon and stop complaining about the "overinflated market" like we're not part of the inflation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've complained about the market since they (he) arrived, then only offer what they think is the right price. Which is usually way below the value of the player.

John P Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 When was the last remotely credible transfer rumour? Ie one backed up by a couple of reliable sources? Feels like forever ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 You get £100m a season minimum for being in the Premier League. There are players going for over half of that. Okay TV money has increased, but not that much. It is going to be a very difficult market for, not excusing the club for being slow in the market, just pointing out that it doesn't seem to be as easy as it has been. Even the likes of WBA (who like it or not, are a club who will be in similar markets to us) are turning their noses up to some of the fee's clubs are asking for, like Gibbs.

Even the likes of WBA (who like it or not, are a club who will be in similar markets to us) are turning their noses up to some of the fee's clubs are asking for, like Gibbs. The price of players was only ever loosely tied to the TV money, as most clubs don't do the "if we don't have the cash on hand we don't do the deal" shit we do. £25-30m players going for £50m now doesn't mean there has to have been a 66/100% increase in TV money. It's just a more expensive market because of it - and other factors - but there's no hard rule. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I really want to see if odds are offered for the entire corps of City's senior fullbacks being on the pitch at the same time during the season. Pep played 4 fullbacks at Barça some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
