Thread: Ridiculous transfer fees

    Ridiculous transfer fees

    On last nights showing Dobbin ( very apt name) looked nowhere near a £9 million pound player, how much is Whitwell worth on the performance he gave, also Mikey Johnston is quoted at being worth £6million, ridiculous pricing

    Did you see what Spurs paid for Solanke!?

    And what was once paid for Maguire!? Or Kepa Arrizabalaga!?

    🫣

    Madness all in all. 😱

    Obviously PSR plays a big impact. I don’t think we’re seeing the true value of the new lads yet. Smash a new set of players together alongside youth academy and they are always going to find it difficult against a lower league outfit that play with each other week in week out.

    If you read Everton forums on Dobbin, they thought he had a bright future. Same with Derby. These lads need time and careful integration.

    What! 19 million! I hope he comes good because last night I wouldn’t give £19.00

    I’ve just looked it up again and you’re right 9 million. The article I read said 19. Whatever happened to editing? Why don’t people check what they’ve written before printing these days?

    BBC news and Sport are prime examples, pieces written by juveniles with the brain power of an amoeba

    I certainly wouldn't dismiss Dobbin at the moment. He just needs a bit of time to settle in and I'm sure that you will see a different player to the one you saw last night. My Everton mates certainly think he has a bright future.

    Man U and Chelsea really have been two of the worst for this...

    Pogba £100m
    Wan Bissaka £55m
    Antony £80m
    Mudryk £90m
    Caceido £100m
    Kepa £70m

    These figures are just mindblowing. And that in turn increases the market for the next tier of players.

    Dobbin would be better off giving kids rides on a beach!

    We said the same about Gnabry.
