Seriously, the Geordie Magpies value the Sweden international Isak at about 150m & turned down a bid of 110m from the Scouser champions this week.😲
Been reading a study bout investment fees ruining football with the emphasis over financial return over footballing merit which can have detrimental effects on player welfare, mental health & overall well-being as 25 per cent of PL players admit to mental health issues now.😳
Having completed my BSc in Psychology via the Open University I gotta admit that I am glad our club has not got involved into paying silly fees to get players on board & that DF is a stickler for blending correct personality types into our team building too.
Jeez, so frightening now that when a club spends 100 million plus on one player, that the price tag follows them now everywhere 24/7 & onto the pitch, then into press conferences & even into their own head, too.
So I am glad we wont be signing such players, in all honesty.
But why does that price tag matter so much & why do some players thrive under the weight while others then struggle ?
A performance psychologist who works with top athletes pointed out how the pressure of a big transfer fee can affect performance in that players feel the need to prove their worth right away, which can lead to overthinking & anxiety on the pitch for starters cos when players become too aware of themselves & how others are judging them, it can mess with their natural flow of play, which recent stats are now showing alarming cases particularly in anxiety disorders & mood disorders among top players.
Could make for an interesting season for little old Leeds with its latest bunch forming a fighting fit unit ready for combat. 👍
Just saying
