In what world is £12m paying "over the odds"?

It isn't 1975

Sorry, I don't understand the post. £12 million in 1975 is probably worth around £120 million today.

Remember El Bilal Toure went to Spain for 8 million Euros after breaking through in France.

This is where I see Chermiti's development at the moment. Just breaking into the league. Hence why £12.8 million upto £17 million seems excessive.

The price is excessive for an U21 / reserve player on face value but time will tell.

Hopefully he’ll progress to the first team squad next season.

What don't you understand?

The reference to 1975 was just a simple bit of hyperbole to emphasise the relatively low transfer fee. Sorry if that was confusing.

We just sold Ellis Simms for £8m.
Southampton just paid £15m for Shea Charles (27 minutes of professional football)

Paying £12m for a 19 year old striker - from a club that have a track record of producing some of Europe's best talent - is not really a huge risk. If it doesn't work out, we'll be able to shift him and he won't be on huge wages

So yeah £12m is not in any way "over the odds" and it just smacks of bed wetting for bed wettings sake. But knock yourself out

Indeed. Trying to get ahead of clubs like Lille as we end up coughing double for the likes of Onana... Days have gone splurging 10s of millions on likes Richarlson and Sigudson. Not sure what reality some of us are in.

The big thing is the wages, he shouldnt be on 120k a week.

But I cant say for sure.

Wasn't that 3.5m plus addons which could rise to 8m?

It’s obviously going to be the song Celtic had for Jorge Cadete

There's only one Youssef Chermiti,
he puts the ball in the netty,
He's Portuguese and he scores with ease, walking in Chermitti wonderland

Yes that’s right - full 8m dependant on very stretching targets.

Reality is more like 4m.

Typical Everton.

Is he the Niall Quinn to Maupay's Kevin Philips?!

Sure, if hes not good its paying over the odds. But if hes worth 30m in a years time its paying under the odds. All depends on scouting and properly judging his future potential.

Those that are truly good at it dont bat an eye about being willing to pay more than everyone else for a player who will be worth much more in a year or two. If a player will be worth 30m, the smart team is the one who "overpays" his 10m estimate. They see the true unrealized future and pays 12m instead. Of course judging that is the true hard part.
