Seems like a very myopic thing to say. We don't have an unlimited transfer budget so when we spend big on players it obviously means we have less left to spend on other players and for the club to continue to grow and succeed we need to get value for money. I don't understand why people care what a club pays for players, it literally makes no difference to you, me or anyone else Transfers are inflated we all know this, if the manager wants him then he is worth what ever we pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUHILL Posted 3 July 2019 Share Posted 3 July 2019 1 hour ago, HoustonFox said: Reading this thread about Perez for £30M feels like I’ve gone onto the Bournemouth forum and they’re signing Gray off us for £25M. He’s decent but as the Newcastle fan said, this is just silly money, and I’m starting to see some people getting overly excited about it. If he gets 15 goals next season, then I’m happy to say I was wrong, but it seems an expensive signing for a player who isn’t really a true winger and isn’t really a true striker. That's called a number 10. Scored 12 goals last season in the Prem for a very defensive minded team, so has every potential of matching that or better here. £30million is overpriced but so is Maguire at £90million. It's the market and there is very little value to have these days. Could turn out to be a smart signing if he gets double figure goals again.

It affects the resale value and it affects our ability to get the best out of the transfer window. I feel like I've been transported into a parallel universe.

Spending on a player always has an opportunity cost The clubs success depends to an extent on spending its budget as efficiently as possible. Thus it's hardly surprising for fans to wonder if a particular signing is the best way of spending that money. Unbelievable that people think fees don't matter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get it either doesn’t make us any richer If you care about results on the pitch then you should care about value for money on players, the two are inextricably linked. If we consistently pay over the odds for players it will effect our quality on the pitch. There is a reason why the clubs with the most money generally are the most successful clubs. Buying overvalued players mean there is less in the bank to make that next purchase and for the bottom 14 PL clubs who have incomes all within about £50m of each other then that's the difference between relegation and challenging for a European place and cups. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM1968 Posted 3 July 2019 Share Posted 3 July 2019 It might not be our money, but in effect it’s our club. Wasting money on dodgy players directly impacts the club and therefore us. Our main strategy seems to be buy young talent currently, allow it to develop and reap the rewards should the big boys come knocking. £30 million is a chunk for Perez, but if he has a blinding season we could see that value double. Might not be bad business. However ALL of our business should be conducted sensibly and with an eye on value and surely we should all be invested in that approach, our money or not?

Thought BR had Maddison dropping deeper towards the end of the season and seemed to work better as he was able to turn and run into more space. Imagine Perez will play just behind Vardy and be able to roam across the front. -------------------N'didi------------------- --Maddison---Tielemans---Barnes-- --------------Perez----------------------- ---------------------Vardy---------------- Percy mentioned that Rodgers sees Perez as support/competition for Vardy, so that's why I thought would be no.10/striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does the clubs budget make any difference to you? Sure it matters to the club, they are a business and will make desicions based on business logic. We can discuss all we want, but if we sign someone for 30 million and he is crap why would it matter if we signed him for say 20 million? It's not like we see that 10 million The owners will have a budget in mind and if the manager wants someone it will be backed, it don't matter what the club pays, to you, an individual exactly the same as me.
