Anyone who thinks Fred isn’t an unreal footballer genuinely does not understand football 🇧🇷

@MartinsCyn 5 CLs, 3 La Liga’s, FA & League Cups and a Copa America doesn’t quite qualify Casemiro as a legendary defensive midfielder who’s played in the PL?

This is the new Luton away end

[Andy Mitten @AndyMitten]

What a game today. Rochdale v York City. Final game of the league season. Both have over 100 points; one goes up automatically. 10,000 sell out crowd expected.

⚠️To fully grasp City’s £460m spend over January 25’ to January 26’ — the wages paid must be taken into account. 🤑

Donnarumma was signed for app. £25m but will earn around 500k a week at City. That is £25m per year or £125m over 5 years. With a £25m transfer fee amortized over 5 years — this means that his Total Cost will be £25m (wages) + £25m (transfer fee) / 5 years = £30m per year (not including agents fees that will have been recorded high). 💰

In comparison, Man Utd signed Rasmus Højlund for a £64m transfer fee and paid him £75k per week, which gives him a Total Cost of £16.7m per year. So if you only look at transfer fees — it seems like Rasmus was twice as expensive as Donnarumma. In reality Donnarumma is twice as expensive as he was. The cost for ”£17m signing Senne Lammens” is £3.3m per year, about a tenth of Donnarumma. But if you look at the transfer fees — 17m vs 25m — it looks like they are about the same cost.

The Total Cost is of course all that matters for a club. PSG signed Messi, Donnarumma, Ramos, Wijnaldum and Perreira for a total of £12m in transfer fees in 2021 — but their Total Cost was app. £175m per year. Was they cheap?

Erling Haaland of course became one of the most expensive players in football when City signed him. Leaked documents show how his total cost was app. €70m per year, which is app. what, £56m per year. 3.5x the cost of a Højlund. Yet — his ”transfer fee” was £48m according to Transfermarkt.

Liverpool pay just as high wages as Man City.

I can go on and on about this. But it is so frustrating — facts are that the reporting on how much Man United have spent on its squad is — extremely — misleading.

Indisputable facts are that since Ralf Ragnick said we needed open heart surgery — we have not even invested 50% of what City, Chelsea and Liverpool have invested in their squads. They had world class squads at that point, and had barely anything (I don’t think many realize how big of a loss Pogba was).

And so many genuinely believe that the Glazers and Ineos has backed investments in our squad that is almost as high as City, Liverpool and Chelsea. But it’s just common sense — yes total transfer fees paid for Haaland and Donnarumma was £73m and total transfer fees paid for Højlund and Lammens were £81m. But even if Gary Neville don’t get it — we don’t even have to do the math, it speaks for itself that Haaland and Donnarumma are a heck of a lot more expensive than Højlund and Lammens.

Alejandro Garnacho has been directly involved in 17 goals across all competitions this season.

Across Europe’s top five leagues, the only wingers aged 20 or younger with more G/A this season are Lamine Yamal and Désiré Doué.

Underrated. 💫
