No mate, transfer fees are the only things that matter, there’s no place for intelligent thinking in this thread

Not the actual transfer fee either - Absolute top end headline making number which factors in add-on fees, clauses, payments to previous clubs, the contract and everything else. Don't look at the actual transfer, just bundle it altogether and assume we're handing over the entire £50M at once.

If we end up paying £50M for Richarlison it's because he's been an unmitigated success and we've also won stuff. Until then it's probably closer to £35M, structured over time with the potential for more dependent on how well it goes.
 

If he improves his finishing then he'd probably be worth £80m+ in a couple years. Great defensive work rate for a winger, powerful pace and can beat defenders one on one. He also should have had at least 6 or 7 more assists but watfords strikers routinely missed sitters set up by Richarlison. He's a multi-dimensional player.

Don't you think the low transfer fees will be reflected when it comes to negotiating terms though? When it's a free or a very low relegation clause you can bet that the agent's fee, the signing on fee, bonuses and wage will be a few million higher over the term of the contract as they know the club is saving on the transfer fee.

It's not a case of looking around with any of those deals either. These are all well known players and in many cases it was common knowledge about their contract situations - these aren't obscure deals for unheard of players that went under the radar.

Wolves seem to have an arrangement in place for signing Portuguese players such as Moutinho, Neves, Patricio....and the current situation with the legality of Sporting players leaving the club may well not have been resolved yet. I'm not sure.

Wilshere may not have wanted to leave London and he's another injury prone midfielder we don't need.
Signing 30+ centre halves hasn't worked out well recently so that's Evans.
Tadic is getting close to 30 and maybe isn't what's needed to push on.
Tried Del twice and it's never really worked out here and at several other clubs for whatever reason despite his obvious talent.
Shaqiri? Again, it's not a case of having to look around. He's a well known player and it was common knowledge even to those of us outside the game that he had a clause. And it's not like the rest of the RS spending this summer has been based on buying cheap.

We got Sandro on the cheap and his contract very much reflects that when you look at his achievements and ability.

Also, none of them are want we should want or need. Investment in youth and potential is exactly what we should be doing (debatable if spending £35m is sensible). If he has a good year/18months we will see his valuation rise.

Probably true,nobody wants to support their local club these days,so everyone seems to go for the team that won something the year they discovered football.
