Not many of them about right now in England which is perhaps why we're getting him for the good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But age is a huge part of value. When thats considered, I honestly cant see how JT is a 50m player and DM just 32. Doesnt add up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxinNotts Posted 12 August 2020 Share Posted 12 August 2020 £10m over priced imo. But saying that, we have form. Wasn’t it £30m we paid for Perez? - another overpriced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do the same with our players. Chilwell being a prime example. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness think the difference is age. 20 and with an English premium McNeil should hold his value pretty well. Think even with a couple of mediocre seasons we should get the majority of that back. But hopefully he’ll excel and could be worth much more than the reported £32 million soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We overpaid for Perez, and we'd be overpaying by at least 10m for this lad. It's a seller's market for homegrown and Burnley will be pissing themselves if we pay that level of fee. If you value him at 32m that's fine, we're going to disagree. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like if we had McNeil already, we would laugh at a 32m valuation. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose2010 Posted 12 August 2020 Share Posted 12 August 2020 Love that people seem to care how much we play for players like it really matters! If we have proved anything in the last 10 years it's that our owners no what they are doing. For every Silva, Slimani and there is a Maddison and soyunchu. Like most of us spending 75p on a kit Kat. You know it's expensive but if it's what you want you will pay it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to picture a Man Utd. fan reading your comment with a straight face. We think Slabhead is worth £80m, and a year later value a 20yr old English PL winger at £22m max?

Are you saying you wouldn't care if we spunked our whole season's budget on two Burnley players? Wouldn't you much rather we got 4 or 5 bargains with the same cash? I don't want to see my club waste its money. Odd that others don't mind it. You probably wouldn't spend 75p on a Kitkat if the shop next door is selling 3 for 50p. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a business these days and I'm sure they know what there doing. Numbers that are quote are rarely right as well there is usually a lot of add ons and ifs and buts. Honestly it's laughable that us fans think we know how football works these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone wet themselves laughing at Maguire's sale and still does. I did. If people want to believe there's value in a 32m, and perhaps not spending abroad and getting better value for money, and trying to spread some of our budget across other areas that need addressing, then that's up to them. We'll do the same when we sell our assets. Burnley don't have to sell, and can call the shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think it doesn't matter how much we pay for players I really don't know what to say. And you know how?? I am certain you or anyone else on this forum has any idea of budgets. Nor does anyone else here understand the structure of any previous or future deals. It’s fine saying a deal worth 32 mil. But the structure of the deal is what really matters. Not the end value. Simple business and financial management. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's what the club wants and thinks we need who are we to question it? Proven premier league players are where we should be looking as well as taking a a couple of calculated risks on loans. So you would rather pay 3 for £1 on something no one even knows if it's a kit Kat under that wrapper or pay your 75p for something you know is? Maybe the transfer forum isn't for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
