It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

[Tevez City]

Hazard was 28 for starters and is (was?) also a world class player who didn't just sit out full season because he blew out his knee. Also there wasn't a global pandemic/economic calamity going on.

He was 28 & half Exactly.

Even with Economic calamity, 41m was spent on Ake ( Who I think is a good addition )
And Koulibaly value is more than 60m

Sane was/is/will continue to show that he is World class player as well.

 

[RayCTID]

29 years old Hazard with 1 year remain in his contract was sold for +100m

Therefore selling 24 years old Sane for 50m is not great deal at all.

We've bought Raheem Sterling under similar circumstances for a similar fee to what we've sold Sane for. What is Raz's current market value? Raz is only a couple of years older

I'd better call my mummy and tell her this. I'd like to hear what she sphinx of it.

Credit. Special credit. Super credit.

Ok so he was 28. In fact, you're 28 until you turn 29.

Even with Economic calamity, 41m was spent on Ake ( Who I think is a good addition )
And Koulibaly value is more than 60m

Sane was/is/will continue to show that he is World class player as well.

Ake and Koulibaly both had/have more than a year left on their contracts, and they weren't just hurt for a whole season. These aren't comparable.

If you want an actual comparision, Ferran Torres was being quoted at 60-70m last year. This year, with a year left on his contract, we got him for 20 something.

Not kicked a ball for a season, cruciate to recover fully from, 50 mill was plenty.

He was out for twelve month with an injury that might cause other injuries and he might have lost his speed,we did just fine considering

 

[Keeper!]

We don't sell our best players that is why ,sane is the only one we really didn't want to lose and we got our money back and more,our players that leave are older ones and we help them as they have helped us,why does this still need explaining

So 28 & half is the new 29 then?

 

[Centurions]

Couto is going straight into first team training at the start of the season, but we've just signed Diego Rossa, who ha medical weeks ago. Cant sign until October and will go straight to our new Belgian club apparently.

I missed the Rosa signing entirely, 2 Brazilian RBs then.
