Makes me to believe even more that the lower leagues are 'proper' football-orientated. Hard-working players, fighting for their well-earnt wage without sacrificing their respective club's finances.

Sky are already struggling to justify paying for the rights given they are losing subscribers, whilst BT are probably feeling the same effects. Things could be very interesting in 3 years time in a financial sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc sheff Posted 25 July 2017 Share Posted 25 July 2017 I know we have to bare in mind inflation, but de bruyne only went for 13m more and is far more influential on a game, there is definite better value out there than who ends up with this guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fine overpaying for a final major piece of the squad like I perceive Gylfi to be, assuming we have Nacho and another CB like Gibson in, but now we need to look outside England like the Hammers just did. FFS we could buy 3 quality AM who have played well in the CL/Europa for that price, bring 'em in, keep the best one, sell the others to save 30 mill, and get 80-90% the performance of Gylfi minimum.

I can't stand the gravel voiced troll but he'd be bang on to complain about the inflated market. That said they have more money than ever and will still be playing in a world war II shelter of a stadium with Jonathan Walters as their star buy so it's difficult to sympathise with them too much.

The problem with Sigurdsson is his value has nowhere to go but downwards if you pay £50m for him. If he was 19 I could see it but he's 28 in six weeks and we know exactly the player he is. He's never going to be top class as we've seen him for years, he's just a top ten player and no more. Just because he would improve us doesn't mean we should sign a blank cheque to get him, it's a ridiculous price for a player that the top teams deem not good enough for them.

Starting from poor stats: he's not a great dribbler, shoots a lot of out box - https://www.whoscored.com/Players/69346/History/Gylfi-Sigurdsson If we jump to expected goals stats - https://understat.com/player/714, we will see that his open play stats are poor 0.13 xG + 0.08 xA per 90 min. Yeah, he plays for Swansea and it's not a good team, but still. So basically lots of his stats come from set pieces, corners, freekicks and penalties. Without it he's not that great and definitely doesn't cost 50M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Maul Posted 25 July 2017 Share Posted 25 July 2017 As much as I would like him here, there must be players out there on the continent at even £30m who could provide just as much quality. My FM days are behind me and I don't watch a great deal from the foreign leagues these days, but there must be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
