Did Arsenal overpay for Rice?

25 mil english international fee
20 mil overpay to not let him go to City

Take those out and Rice is about a 60 mil player.. which sounds just about right.

The funny thing is Bellingham went for 103 mil Euros or 88 mil GBP.. so honestly did you ever think City would pay over that for Rice??
 
I didn't. I think 1.75 is overpriced too.

Anyone that's ever bought a pair of Beats headphones has overpaid. Or bought a utd top.

I would do my job for less if pushed, equally as well, arguably my boss is overpaying me.

There are umpteen examples and instances. Good mental gymnastics and all, but overpaying exists.

Called "goodwill" in the accounting world, iirc.
 
Ok, there are two concepts of value here. Both can be argued, but they're irreconcilable. One is that there is intrinsic value in something, and that it can be identified, and so it is objective. The other is that it's purely relative, and therefore subjective.
As an example - an antique piece of gold jewellery. It has intrinsic value equivalent to weight in gold when melted down but it's subjective value as na antique can be far higher. Are you overpaying if you pay more than the cost of gold if you buy it? Possibly, but it depends on it's resale value and the market - much like a footballer.

PS: has he signed yet?

Could the people arguing endlessly back and forth about what it means to overpay, PLEASE, for the love of God, STFU.
