That said, is he broken or was he just overrated and over priced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 29 July 2022 Share Posted 29 July 2022 3 hours ago, Zaphod Beeblebrox said: See that is where you are wrong. Record transfers are forever going up and up. He would be up there at the moment, but say 10 years from now would he be? No shit Sherlock, but that doesn't escape the fact that champions league proven quality young players haven't touched the levels people are talking about here. They are still going in the low to mid £70m region. He's done nothing to be valued higher than most of those recent transfers. IF, and it's a big IF. The market recovers post covid and he had a truly exceptional season, then maybe we'll see something close to or north of the Maguire fee. But not on the back of a year out injured.

CrispinLA in Texas Posted 29 July 2022 Share Posted 29 July 2022 Even 100m is cheap for Wesley....given that he's got about 13years in his game. That's about 7.5m a year, peanuts for the super rich clubs, also they'll easy get that back in merchandise sales and club sponsorship with Wesley. The Italians fans would go crazy for him.....

Take your argumentative specs off for a minute and tell me what is incorrect in the statement that he will be one of if not the best defender in the world in a couple of years.

Guest Col city fan Posted 29 July 2022 Share Posted 29 July 2022 (edited) Update: I’m pleased to announce that following a brief spell of constipation the ‘lock-gates are now open once more’ Thanks for caring and I’ll continue to update upon my reminiscences of ‘cult-heroes’ from a bygone era. Currently Tommy Wright and Iwan Roberts. Though I’m still unsure if these can be accurately described as cult heroes as they were both possibly too good? Over and out… 👍 Back to business… have we got 100 mill plus the other bloke for Fofana yet? Edited 29 July 2022 by Col city fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bremer just moved to Juve for 34m not including add ons and he was Italian Defender of the season. As others have said post Covid the landscape is a little different.

Who, in his age group is a better in world football right now? Look at the market, look at what players are fetching, use your noggin. There is also a difference between what we'd accept and what another team would bid. IF, and it's a big IF, the 20% sell on is right, then we'd probably want more than another team is likely to pay at this stage. Out of your Galactico type player, it's top strikers fetching £100m, not defenders. Kounde and De Light are doing in the £50-£60m region currently.

To be fair, I do agree BUT your not quoting PL fees. No way Maguire goes for 80m (pre or post COVID) to another country for as much. Then you throw in Lukaku as an example of this - Chelsea pay 100m and 12 months later let him go back to Inter for a 10m loan fee. Comparing transfer fees is correct but value in the PL compared to outside is apples and oranges. Edited 29 July 2022 by SafewayFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
