Transfers are as much about age as ability, doesn’t work that X is better than Y so X is worth more. Age is more a determining factor of value than current ability, especially with 5+ year contracts and PSR, even if they thought he was the best LB in the league no team will pay more than 50/60m for Robinson because of age, if he was 22/23 that ceiling would be 100m or more. CFC paid huge for lavia, caicedo etc not as they were world leading players but because of their potential and age. -- SW6.doc

Well yes and no.If as is reported most of the big clubs are interested we need to try and use t to our advantage.Sick of clubs like Liverpool taking the piss. (NT) -- HemelRog, Saturday, December 14, 09:40:19pm (5ec0f8a7.skybroadband.com/94.192.248.167)
- Elliot/carvalho are completely different scenarios. Last 2 seasons with established senior players on long contracts we’ve extracted decent sums for mitro and palhina, given their age (I know I sound like a broken record). The way to start getting 80/100m fees a la caicedo/rice/grealish is to sign younger players, not our policy of mid-late established prem players. Our method is clearly workinf well, but it will always cap what fee’s we get and how much we can reinvest.

  - If they want him they can pay a decent fee.Their sense of entitlement is nauseating.You may recall we took a punt in Robinson whe he was a virtual unknown at Wigan.I don’t care how old he is forty million is yet another extraction of the urine.
