this market broke gimmick again. it's about the demand in the market. obviously if teams are capable of spending more each year due to increasing finances, the prices of the players will obviously shoot up
I know the obvious answers are Neymar and Pogba, but I think the player that truly broke the market was Enzo.
£107m for a Benfica midfielder coming off one great tournament. The market's never been the same since.
Okay everyone is asking who is going to be the best young player of the World Cup or the one to watch.
Forget that, who is going to be the Unc of The Tournament?
🚨 Patrice Evra on Manchester United potentially paying £35-40 million for Atalanta midfielder Ederson:
🗣️ “Listen, I like Ederson.
He’s a good player, works hard, wins duels and has quality.
But if Manchester United are really thinking about paying £35-40 million, I have to ask why.
This is part of the problem with modern football.
Every decent player is suddenly worth £40 million, £50 million, £60 million.
What has happened to the market?
For me, a player like Ederson should be in the £20-25 million range, then he goes to a bigger club, proves himself and his value increases.
That’s how it used to work.
Manchester United cannot keep paying premium prices for players who are still trying to establish themselves at the highest level.
I’m not saying he isn’t talented.
I’m saying there is a difference between potential and proven quality.
The club has made expensive mistakes before and supporters have every right to be cautious.
If United can negotiate a lower fee, fantastic.
But if they end up paying close to £40 million, I honestly think that’s too much for a player who still has a lot to prove.”
