It's the same model though. The other clubs don't intentionally buy players at over valued levels. We just seem to be better at identifying value, but each club is chasing the same goal (except perhaps the big clubs who just want to buy instant success irrespective of value).
The big clubs may well want instant success & do carry a 'Top 6 Tax'. Sellers know they have more money so charge them more. The buffoon Woodward at Man U says he routinely pays a 25% premium.
Yes. That innings where he came back in at about 40 in about '75 to face the Windies was pure theatre .
FFS, I came on here to read about the conspiracy theory about a Brazilian player in a 4 club tug of war, that according to one Turkish source, whose voracity is unknown, will be joining us in January. Not to read about some cricket from the 70s. I'm off to Reddit to get my convoluted and unlikely transfer gossip.
Oddly weird to see a batsman without a helmet. Same if you look back at old TdF photos. Because of this I'm off to Reddit. Again.
This reminds me of the episode when,after being hit on the head whilst in the slips,his team mates rushed around saying "Brian,are you ok?" He replied "Never mind me,did anyone catch it?"
Old Trafford 76. Close & Edrich opened. Combined age about 75. I don’t think either played for England after that.
You could, I guess, say this lad is killing it. Another 2 goals and an assist as his team won 3-2 today. That takes him to 14 goals and 2 assists in 12 games. Now, he may be in a farmers league, but for comparison Ighalo has 17 goals and 1 assist in 23 games. Talisca is a midfielder, Ighalo isn't.
Our big advantage is the Pozzo Worldwide scouting network. We are also willing to buy potential. Sometimes like Wilmot and Quina it can be found quite close to home. The big six buy ready made talent which attracts a substantial premium. Despite developing some good youngsters Everton's Moshiri seem to be following that route, whereas West Ham use the scattergun approach. Agents also grossly distort and inflate the market. They now have too much power and influence and clubs often seem to cave into their excessive demands.
It's been reliably confirmed that he is not coming to us, if that's what you mean. He's signed a permanent deal with Ariana Grande.
Looking forward to seeing this guy as we are crying out for a midfielder. Is he signing on January 1st or later in the window, does anyone know?
Played for england in 1940s / 50s / 60s and 70s. Played professional football for Bradford Park Avenue. 2 handicap golfer left handed and 4 handicap right handed. Made of teak.
In this moment he is not ready and recovering from a strained epididymis. Hopefully he will train with the team next week.
What with him, Joao Pedro, Todibo, Sarr and all the other great players we having yet bought, we are going to be unstoppable this year.
