right thanks i get it now. but what are your valuations based on, as we clearly pay over the odds at the moment, for eg are you given inflated leeway or do you give the value as you would of done before we had money, just interested not doubting you in any way
Well we have certain criteria which is used, example there is a set fee for a certain amount of matches a player has played within 12months. Also players age and experience etc. Fitness levels also are taken into consideration. We give a valuation its then upto the club to decide wether or not to increase that fee, I suppose it depends on how much the manager wants the player. You say we are paying way over the odds, but for a player like Adebayor, 25M for a player of his calibre in terms of fitness and experience is not wide of the mark.
