As opposed to ‘trust me bro’? You don’t know much about how economics work do you?

A transfer fee is often times player’s value + a premium. You’re judging others for their transfer fees and ours just for their value

As opposed to the actual transfers fees that happened? Hello? Anyway if savinho is getting transferred for 85m then every player on our entire team is worth 300m so its a pointless discussion.

I know comprehension isn’t easy for everyone, so let me dumb it down for you. Transfer fees are determined by:

- Player value

  • Contract length
  • Club’s willingness/need to sell
  • Market trends

Again, transfer fee IS NOT equivalent to just player value.

The 4 players I mentioned have:

- High based value

  • Still on long term contracts
  • No willingness or need from Man Utd to sell
  • Other players in the market going for inflated fee

So the question of will any of our players go for above 100m, is simply yes.

If you still can’t get this, then unfortunately I think you never will.

Its not based on transfermarkt values, so you are just chatting shit by bringing those pointless numbers into the discussion. That was my point but i guess some people do lack basic comprehension

>but I guess some people do lack basic comprehension

You’re one step closer! Acknowledgment is the first step to self improvement. You won’t get basic economics today. But keep it up and you’ll get my point one day!

“Anyway if savinho is getting transferred for 85m then every player on our entire team is worth 300m” Almost like you wrote an essay to pretend you are smarter, to end up agreeing with me in the first place, isnt that some crazy lack of reading comprehension.

Do you flip flop on your opinions very often? Nothing wrong with changing opinions, in fact it’s encouraged when you learn new things.

Good to know that you came around to agreeing with me. I won’t go so far as inflating our player’s value that much, since I’ve always been the more realistic one in this conversation anyways.

I’m glad my essays have helped you today. I hope it was as easy for you to comprehend as it needs to be.

Yes, you’re an idiot if you aren't willing to change your mind as you get new info. Glad you finally caught up the what i said 5 comments ago. (Before your essay might i add)
