Wilfred Zaha rated £20m. Really?

Man Utd, Arsenal and Real Madrid after him and apparently they're willing to pay that much.

Wonder how much we'll get off Leicester for Davies

£20?

 

Yeah but to them clubs, thats not a lot.

He's probably good enough to play lower premier league at the moment, and the clubs down the bottom end would be willing to pay i'd say a quarter of that.

 

Ridiculous money. When Swansea can get someone like Michu for £2million, then it tells you how overpriced and overhyped the English players are.

 

He's only worth how much another club is willing to pay for him.

 

True, but it's because the Premier has so much money that Championship and lower league clubs overprice their "stars" and then watch them stagnate while the big clubs buy cheaper, better, proven imports. It's time a bit of realism was brought back into the game, but whilever the pounds signs are lighting up in people's eyes at every level and position within the game, it'll continue going to the dogs. And I really couldn't give a f**k.

 

He's better than Theo Walcott was at that age. Well, he's better than Walcott is now....

He cost 12m all done. Oxlade-Chamberlain was 10 I think, with loads of add-ons. Often it's not just about what a player is worth to a club, it's about not letting anyone else having him. Like with Ronaldho, Fergie said - His transfer fee is based on the fact that he will one day come back and knock Man U out of the European Cup.

 

Value based on fact he decided to sign new 5-6 year deal less than a year ago.

 

I agree. Football is a disgrace and I stopped caring a long time ago. The whole sorry game can implode for all I care.

 

well said Kempes. I agree through out history of footy we have been championship level mostly now we are on the brink and its all down to finances, (and a little management).
