Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!
If I was a young prospect at a big 6 club and my pathway to the first team wasn’t already mapped out, I’d 100% be looking for a move abroad. Guys like Bellingham, Sancho, Madueke, Marcus Edwards, Balogun have all gone abroad and increased heir profile. The other leagues are just that much better at developing talent now.
People forget that Mbappe and Haaland are both U25 as well. Them man are worth 300m+ in today’s market
No one could even chat to us if they’re not talking 200m. Sake’s on that level now if Enzo is 120m.
Whilst I agree that teams don’t have to sell anymore, we did just see what happens when teams don’t bend to ridiculous asking prices with the Anthony Gordon transfer. Everton were trying to charge Chelsea 60m for him in the summer, and just half a season later, his value dropped. These players are mostly unproven and inconsistent so teams need to stop being so reactionary in the market. Lyon were quoting 55m for Aoauar a few years ago and now he’s looking like he might leave on a free transfer.
This is why I'm always leery on these big number transfers. Mbappe is proven in Ligue 1 and on the International stage (where, lets be honest, he faces MUCH stiffer competition). At this point, his step up needs to be the Prem. Spain doesn't even have the profile it once did. But you look at Haaland who's making a mockery of most PL defenses and you say well he's worth 200m at least. BECAUSE HE'S PROVEN.
Enzo & Mudryk...not so much. Even Caicedo has at least be standout in the PL already....cool Brighton, you can charge 80m. I don't think he's THAT good but at least he's got a body of work.
Meanwhile, how many 80m+ flops are there?
Hazard, Coutinho, Joao Felix, Griezmann (to Barca), Lukaku, Pogba, Sancho, Havertz, Kepa.....
Even with that you'd say ALL of those players had BETTER track records in BETTER leagues than Enzo and Mudryk.
