Gillies Downs Leeds Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 How much higher are transfer fees going to go in the championship? There are reports that Wolves are going to sign Neves from Portugal for a fee of £20m. This is a team as well, who have not got the benefit of parachute payments (i think). We are in a Premier league 2 now in all but name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 its going the same as the prem 5 years ago due to the paracute payments, if we don't get promoted in the next 4 years then we will never get promoted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Neves is one of europes top young prospects. There are much bigger clubs interested in him and he would command a much greater value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogkev Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Does this money even really exist? Ties into something I was considering the other day - whether most money now is in fact solely in the cyber world. Is the money locked into these transfer fees purely banking data, and if so, does it really matter how much a player costs? Just have to pray that ticket prices don't continue to rise until they reach obscene amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right about the money though, it is just figures on a spreadsheet - it`s like the national debt or something. Can anyone imagine what three trillion pounds or whatever it is looks like in used fivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was gold was the currency, but as people got richer and prices rose they bought out currency made of gold and silver but people just shaved bits of the edge then they put the ridges in so you could see if it was a whole coin and then they changed coins to cheap alternatives and then Labour sold the gold off cause who needs it (rhymes with 2hats) but ask @Exiled Robin he should be the expert.

Tbh, he could be an absolute beast of a player. Read an article about him months back and his 'stats' make him out to be a combination of Kante and Viera. One of the best DM's in Europe for the past year or two. Not as good as our Korey though.......

I can remember when Liverpool had a decent scouting system. They signed Larry Lloyd from the gas for a pittance. Liverpool then went to Scunthorpe to sign goal keeper Ray Clemence and then a lad who had just graduated from the Youths to Scunny's first team; Kevin Keegan. In all three cases those 'pool scouts spotted talent. Other side of the coin; Liverpool signed Peter Spiring from City and he seemingly just disappeared.

22A Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 I see on SSN that 2 or 3 players have transferred away from Barnsley, but to replace their central midfielder signed one from FGR.

Shtanley Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Ethan Pinnock is a centre back not a centre midfielder. He would've been playing with McCoulsky so I'd be surprised if we weren't aware of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much between the bottom half of the prem and top half of the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
