Jack Grealish

Ah, so “out of my arse inflation!”

Got it!

So you’re unaware that ‘football inflation’ is a thing and runs at a rate far higher than CPI/RPI. Ok then.

Very excited by what he brings to the squad, the hope is is he’ll be central piece for then next 5-6 years.

do I think the we overplayed what his true market value is? Yes

but even so Let’s say his true value is 80M, the club chose to pay a premium and I imagine they have their reasons.

1. Pep specifically asked for him
2. Need new talent as to keep squad competitiand Not many players move the needle considering the quality in the squad already
3. the board wants to go all out in Peps final contract years (champions league)
4. English Premium

Also what’s the alternative? We go for someone like James Maddison who was no chance of getting into the squad or we don’t bring anyone in and save a few million?

Sometimes the cost of doing nothing is greater than that of taking a calculated risk. Similar situation with Kane IMO

we dont know what we paid yet, media saying $100m, others $75M

Even at 100mill if Ben white to Arsenal is 50m then we got a deal. Not saying Ben white is a bad player but he is definitely not the “star” or caliber of grealish.

Yes, you’re wrong, but never let that get in the way of a good piece of poor deflection.

Carry on with the delusion. You wear it well.

No. He’s not wrong. You’re just a know nothing tit who refuses to admit when you’re wrong.

Damocles took the time to explain it to you. Now another poster has. You could even help yourself by reading any one of a number of articles on the subject:

The true extent of spiralling inflation in football’s transfer market

Inflation has increased prices by approximately 168% in last three decades. One pound in 1990 is worth £2.37 in 2018. In the world of football, that same £1 would be worth £40 now, as transfer market prices spiral out of control.

Football inflation skyrockets as transfer fees go crazy

Would Diego Maradona really be worth the same as Andre Gray in today's market?

You’ll look less of a clueless twunt by reading any of the above. Or you can continue to embarrass yourself all you want.

Ah bless

I think he made a good point in a poor way.

I mean we've all heard of 'football inflation'. We even have a thread lower down the page

Transfer Fees adjusted for today's prices

Saw this thought I'd share it... https://www.totallymoney.com/content/transfer-index/data/ Our most expensive transfer would be Sergio Aguero at £95.627m The rags have Rio at £158m EDIT: I forgot KDB @£111m

You’re nit expecting CB to admit he made an error are you?

You’re nit expecting CB to admit he made an error are you?

It wasn’t an error, but you enjoy yourself thinking you’re spanking me in public.

I gave facts…as in actual inflation…and was shown that he was talking about a made up metric called “football inflation.”

There’s nothing wrong with differing points of view, nor acknowledging an error. I’ve apologized many times for them…when making them.

Funny to watch you going to so much trouble to try to make a wholly personal point. You need a life.

I hope that if Harry Kane comes, he’ll score legitimate goals for us, rather than trying to claim goals scored by others…

KdB might let Harry claim a few to increase his assists!

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Is today the day then JG is announced.....lets hope so and then onto Kane

 

[Gray]

At least Grealish will not be moaning about the weather and pining for warmer climes. Suspect at least two players to depart so Jack will not cost us anything. Move on to Kane with one other departure and we will have two excellent players for a reasonable net outlay. One player less on the books but some promising youngsters knocking at the door.
