Antony will be €100m it’s a lot! But then I look at some of the deals done this season…Spurs paid £60m (around €74m) to put Richarlison on the bench. Gordon = £60m, Forfama = £80m

Prices went up this summer.

Sigh. This isn't directed just to you. The sport of football is at fault for making it's fans very ignorant or forgetful to what matters. From it's focus on meaningless "wins", stats devoid of context, to something like transfer dealings.

Despite damn near every footy fan having far vested interest in them than ever before, most seem to lack understanding of it.

Clubs don't view transfers through the prism of how much is the transfer fee cost. Each transfer is paid on a yearly instalment based on the duration of the player's contract (i.e. 5yr contract, results in 5 yearly installments). Clubs view it has "how much is he going to cost per year; transfer installment fee, agent fees, player's wages, guaranteed bonus and bonuses expected to hit, image rights or whatever miscellaneous contractual additions. Adding up lump sum "net fee per annum".

This is why actual football journalists (ie. Duncan Castles) use actual football parlance like "net sum per year" and others more focused/consumed with their cult of personality (i.e Fabrizio Romano) focus on the transfer fee total.

Anthony is on 20k per week at Ajax. Even at a 200% wage increase, that represents a cheaper deal than signing a player already on 200k for 60m. Hence why Ten Hag is attempting to get players who are all on low wages, FdJ is just another "hey, at least we tried" yearly United ploy.

The media and the sport itself breeds this ignorance..

Bruh, I know you like to argue but wtf are you talking about? Clubs don’t care about the transfer fee? Why do they bother negotiating them then?

If what your saying is true, clubs would just negotiate with players and pay whatever the selling club is asking for…this doesn’t happen…

"I like to argue", lol. Not quite.

Once again, your reading comprehension is lacking. I didn't state they don't care about the transfer fee. Your rebuttal is a red herring.

What I stated was clear and simple. No need for me to rehash it.

If you have any actual rebuttal, offer it or just agree to disagree with your silence.

You originally quoted my post with an explanation on how transfers are done.

Why? If it wasn’t about the cost of players what was the point? I already know how transfers are done and how clubs look at them. It doesn’t change the fact that prices of players has gone up.

*Sigh
