Other Clubs Summer Transfer Window 2020

[Borussin]

No doubt. I'm sure he could be. But I don't buy that he's elite level right now.

Also...none of them went for £100million.

True about the price looking at the now. But inflation and all that!

And I remember a lot of surprise and laughter when Liverpool paid £30m for Firmino, a player from little Hoffenheim, a lot of people though the price of Pulisic was crazy too, and De Bruyne cost a lot at the time.

All I am saying is that it’s about the player, and some players are just exceptionally talented, Sancho is one. I am interested to see how he matures as a player as there is question marks on his maturity levels now, no surprise, and his character a bit. But as for pure talent, he has it all.

 

[H.H.]

I don't think you can use this argument considering when they played and how much more money is in the game these days.

De Bruyne left the league in 2015 (£70m)
Son left the league in 2015 (£30m)
Firminho left the league in 2015 (£40m)

Son's fee was £22m so about 25-30% less than you say.

 

[Nymzee]

Son's fee was £22m so about 25% less than you say.

Was just using transfermarkt which had it as £27m.

 

[kenada_blue]

Isn't that even more in his favour though? Younger = more expensive?

You also just said in today's market they all might be £100m so doesn't that mean he's on their level in terms of fee/output?

I'm kinda lost as to what/how you're arguing the point anymore.

He's not all that. In my opinion.

 

[Barnfred 55]

Said before, I'm dubious of the league he plays in.

Gets those figures in the prem...I'll hold my hands up.

I just don't see how people can say he's the best thing ever when players like Sterling, Rooney etc get dismissed. Yet...this feller has it all apparently.

Who's dismissing Sterling and Rooney?

 

[Billy Dean]

you shouldnt be.

Pulisic and Auba are just examples of 2 players producing better numbers in the PL than they did in the Bundesliga. Other players from the league have raised up their level as they matured too, such as Son, De Bruyne and Firmino for example.

It’s easy for fans of other leagues to look at other leagues that arent their own and declare them inferior, I am guilty myself of doing it. Not to say Bundesliga has the depth of quality, but it isn’t a reason to think a player may struggle.

Sancho is top quality and will be absolutely fine, from a personal point of view, I am just dissapointed he will be playing for Ole! But he’s only 20, he doesn’t have to be there for life!

Agreed, I don't think the prem is that much better really. Bayern are up there with Liverpool and City. BVB, RBL and BMG at least the same level as the likes of Spurs, Chelsea, Man U, Leics etc if not higher. Maybe the BuLi has more mediocre teams overall than the Prem but I don't think there's a huge difference.

 

[Barnfred 55]

Siggy?

I'd let him go on a free if that was what it took to get him out of the club and off our wage bill

 

[Barnfred 55]

That's fine. But as I said time will tell which one of us is right.

Think he'd want to have his contact paid off.

 

[Barnfred 55]

letting him go on a free paves the way for a signing on bonus to replace lower wages. Depends how much he wants to play. Paying these players off is a non starter. Never seen it happen and doubt I ever will. Literallly giving money away. Subsidised loans would happen rather than that

 

[Barnfred 55]

No he doesn't. He's got 2 goals against Kosovo.

As for levels....Walcott bagged a hattrick for England against Croatia (who hadn't lost at home in 35 matches) at 19.

My bad. Thought he got 3 that game.

Players have all the power now, obviously we don't know what type of personality he has but he could easily sit out his contact.

He'll play in the reserves before his contract is paid off though
