wanderer Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 If this transfer is indicative of what a "successful and marketable" league looks like with a big TV deal I personally would prefer the Scottish game to keep doing what it is doing. Sure it would be great to have a bit more investment but I see what we are achieving with sound ownership and I am actually proud of our financial management. Richarlson had about 10 good games last season and then was bang average. If that is what £50 million gets you in the EPL then they are doomed. It would just be good if we could get them to pay some of that hyper-inflated money for our Scottish based players. Ultimately though, if this means some talented British players come up here to get their chance, then that is good for our game. I have a feeling Olly Lee will be brilliant, just like Demi last season. Player who are hungry to prove themselves will bring a lot to our club...

Bull's-eye Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 It's either Sky's fault or Craig Leveins, can't decide which. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrincha Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Wow. If Richarlison is worth £50M then Scott McKenna probably is worth £10M. John Souttar too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copa-mundial Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 £50 million for a striker that has went over 18 games without scoring. The EPL. The most fabricated and plastic league in the world. Get ready for more transfers like this. Definitely only the beginning of ridiculous fees being paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed to do well under Silva last season, better than their new manager. He has something as a player, a tricky player to mark and he has a good shot on him. I'd say he's probably worth half that, but such is the money in that league it won't hurt Everton and it could hurt Watford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merseyjambo Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I’m not saying he’s worth 50m, but I will point out a couple of things 1. He started off last season really well when Silva was in charge at Watford. When Silva left his form dipped. Maybe he’s a player that needs a specific manager to get the best out of him. 2. After the debacle between Watford & Everton about Silva last season, Everton are probably having to pay a premium for him. Had that been another club in for him, I’m not sure that the price would have been 50m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chester copperpot Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Richarlson was awful for the 2nd part of last season. If that's what the bin dippers are spending their hard cash on that's good for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexton Hardcastle Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) As always compare it to sandy Carroll fee of 35 odd million and it seems ok. Teams like Everton/Bournemouth/West Ham if relegated would be out of business overnight. Such is the state of the epl. And palace reckon Zaha is worth 70m. Bonkers those boys.

jamie1874 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 When a third choice goal keeper moves for £12.5m despite playing a season and a half so far in his career at the age of 25 then games up. One of the top 20 most expensive keepers ever but played 4 premier league games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1971fozzy Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Said it before, the sooner that league goes tits up the better. Sadly thanks to overseas sales it’s not happening. actually disgusting the money down there. I’ll not complain however if CP goes for £300million (which isn’t far fetched given this boy went for £50million) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
