The DEFINITIVE English football banter thread

[Steve Austin]

dont think ive heard of him! thats a frist for me also!

all i know right now in the world.. there aint many players worth over 30mil

Players worth over £30m:

Robin Van Perise
Juan Mata
Luis Suarez
(If keepers still went for that much then Pepe Reina would be IMO, they usually have to be young)
Vincent Kompany
Sergio Aguero
David Silva
Wayne Rooney
Nani
nemanja Vidic
Gareth Bale

Thats just the prem ones I can think of at the moment!

Ancelotti is almost PSG manager, good appointment IMO.

He's a great manager and seems like a nice guy, I really didn't want to see him leave the Chelsea or the prem/

At what price can we make bets that the Round Of 16 draw for next season's UCL will be Chelsea vs PsG.Platini is a cheeky booker,boy,he loves his Anglo Italian ties.

The 93rd richest man in the World has bought Monaco,its the French Revolution.

Giroud is a 25 year old striker for Montpellier!

It does seem ridiculous! Even if the report is wrong and it's €42m, that's still a lot!

For me 30mil is big money! so for me it's olny players like :

Rooney
Ronaldo
Messi
Van Persie (maybe on current form)
Sneijder
Iniesta
Silva
Aguero
Nani
Ozil
A few others also!
players who change games! Defenders never get the praise they derseve so vidic and kompany would be around the 20's!


silly money in the 40's to 100's olny Messi, Ronaldo & Rooney are worth those prices IMO!

Depends on who's buying,plus,Nobody will pay 30 million for a guy with 6 or 12 months on their contract.30 million is a push for Kompany,Vidic,Reina,Mata. But 2 guys who have a high value could be Yaya Toure,Modric,

It should be that way but it's not. 30m just 10-15 years ago is like 80m now. It's just how football has evolved. Defenders never get the credit they deserve, it bugs me!

I agree with your list but surely Suarez should be on there! He's amazing, he practically won Copa American on his own and some of the things he does are unbelievable!

Yeah I forgot about the contracts. And these days if Arsenal want someone they could get someone for £30-40 but they would cost City £50m or something, its just how football works.

Yaya Toure is amazing, I did consider him but I'm not sure if they would get £30, he is outstanding and runs the show but his age and wage bill would but his value down abit IMO.

As for Modric, I think he's overrated, £40m, no way is he worth that! He is brilliant yeah but if he's worth £40 then Fabregas is worth £80m.

[Wade Barrett 1979]

I'll be back in this thread later!!

[Tommy Thunder]

Arsenal have been quoted £42m for Giroud!!!

Who?

Wait, I see something! I see Arsenal fans around the world facepalming at yet another unknown signing attempt from Wenger!

Agreed 100%.
Modric is good, but he's worth £30m tops IMO.
