It's now being used as a yardstick by all selling teams, 'we feel our player is better than Antony, pay equal or more'. You literally bought a 1 in 3 striker for £60m in the summer. Settle down. The market was banjaxed long before we bought Antony. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously turned out a lot better for them than Maguire did for us but it was seen as a ludicrous fee at the time. As I said, market is banjaxed and has been for a long time. Not sure on Ikons point like. I assume it's because Isak is a striker and came from a stronger league that the fee is justified, but we were seeing transfers like Pepe for £70m+ years ago. Football is just nuts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Though unlike Van Dijk, Maguire isn’t one of the best CBs of the past decade. Considering the silverware return on that investment, Liverpool must consider that 75m money well spent.

Emotic Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I was quite certain that Diaby was one of the targets that we would've been prepared to play the long game for, like Botman. We can forget about it now, and thank god for the resurgence of Miggy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fees paid for Alisson and Van Dijk were huge but justified in the end. Just saying these huges fees have been flying about for a long time. Pepe is arguably the worst one.

gbandit Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Not a surprise that clubs are being quoted massively inflated fees when Chelsea are walking around a strip club with wads of 50s and handing out handfuls every time they receive so much as a smile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Such a weird career Cantwell is having. Seemed poised to be a big deal for a little while. Was linked with us all throughout last January. Ends up going on loan to a Championship side, which isn't made permanent. And now he looks to be off to the SPL.

The market was banjaxed long before we bought Antony. Isak's career record at Sociedad was a goal every 184 mins in the league, tbf. Goal contribution every 160 mins, if you start bringing assists in. Most goals scored by an under 23 player after Haaland and Mbappe since 2019/whenever at the time we signed him etc. I'd say his fee was a bit inflated in today's market looking at the bigger picture but the raised eyebrows were mainly due to a final poor 6 months in Spain more than anything, his value prior to that would've been seen comfortably at £60m, imo. Wood's price to value was much worse and I was one of the ones that thought he'd do alright we paid 75% more than his actual worth.
