"Yes but the primary goal for a football club is to win trophies."
Actually, it does far more.
It can massively increase the value of a lower league club if the club can maintain its place in the higher division.
Cups add very little.
That Akanji at City looks good for £30m
You just have to know where to look ??
Depends on the circumstances I guess.
Could have got Grealish for 20m but levy would only go to 15m
Say we want Eze?? They want 80m I could understand if we said no
It's easier if you can also spend a shit loads keep on trying. It's not the amounts man city spend it's how often they can do it
Didn’t we just do Porro— the amount if not by triggering the clause. We just did Phillips from Blackburn.
Certain leagues are obligated to put a release clause on every contract and many are ridiculously overpriced.
There are release clauses and genuine release clauses.
They should be part of any smart team’s strategy along with targeting free agents
Son won't be able to play that position, the manager either works it out and changes the formation or the player
Opportunity cost is the pertinent point. In hindsight, we should have paid an extra 10M for Hazard when Redknapp wanted him. Would have been over the odds and ‘what it takes’, but it would have paid for itself
Bloke literally spent several posts arguing that it was fine to pay 100m for a 50m player.
Apparently if that seems like a flawed idea then you've been brainwashed by Levy.
Explain to me what is more interesting about Burnley than Atletico. You're coming off very much as an American Soccer Hipster right now.
I'd jizz if we got him.
Yeah I thought Richy did Ok too compared to them. Made good runs and fought well
and a year at Real Betis scoring and assisting frequently
and playing with Messi for Argentina - according to his fan club he played better with his mate !
Agree we'd buy another midfielder to replace him - Eze would be good - but we'd need to generate some cash from Lo Celso to upgrade him.
I'd happily take £30m for him but lets start by asking for £40m
No-one is suggesting that we should pay over the odds for every signing, just now and again for certain players. Is that clear?
Do you think we can or will deal with inter, no chance we get him, more clickbait
Read a couple of things on newsnow. Might be getting Barcelona director of football after he rejected villa. Also orban agent is trying to sort fee with gent.
I know...plus he'd probably be 80mDo you think we can or will deal with inter, no chance we get him, more clickbait
The NFL is a closed league. Its championship game is annually the most watched 4 hours of global television. Its most valuable club is worth $10 Billion, more than any other sporting property in the world, and one of its least successful recently sold for more than Chelsea (edit: double the price).
I get a lot of the arguments from traditionalists, and really, really hope Spurs dodge the inevitable ESL because I don't want it. But the money in the sport doesn't give a fuck about tradition and will only allow it to slow, not prevent, the inevitable.
