Confirmed Signing Bernard

[nsno-chris]

He should be paying us, the little weapon

 

[deipnosophist]

I'm just trying to use a simile that people can understand. I think we get lost in terms of determining value now in football. I do anyway.

Dave, in response to the financial crisis 10 years ago, the central banks of the world, in a (successful) effort to bail out all the uber-wealthy of the world who would have been bankrpted, just printed out of thin air, trillions and trillions and trillions of fiat currency. That vast supply of money sloshing all over the shop has grotesquely distorted all* asset prices...property, shares, bonds...sports teams, football players. Determining true value in anything these days?...good luck with that.

* interestingly gold is kept subdued...you can probably work out why that might be. Also cryptocurrencies are as well but I suggest this will change once the big boys (ie Wall St banks) have positioned themselves in the 'crypto space'...they were behind the 8 ball there.

I've heard it's a £15m signing on fee, £150k per week. A house. And a goat sacrificed to the gods in his name every month

 

[Blueway]

I can't believe Everton are paying him a 10m signing bonus per game and 505.1k per week.

And his friends I believe...

Top rated player signs on Bosman, Dave cries.

Oh well.

Football's massively inflated prices started well before the crash, though. However, I dont dispute that the crash accelerated it, for the reasons you suggest.

Properly GREAT signing.

 

[Zezti]

Heard its £20/week and a pack of hotdogs
player wages these days are mad

Oh well.

I'm not crying, I'm just trying to clarify what we get here and for what.

That's surely a good way of looking at things after the gross irresponsibility of the last year's spending?

 

[ashwuk76]

A paper we can't link says he has signed 150k a week..
