The amount of money being spent is just madness. Pogba is worth a small hospital! How many lives would be saved if his transfer fee went to the health service/medical research etc?? Just me getting old I guess. (I was stunned at £70k for Carl Saunders!)
With the greatly over inflated values now being spent by the Prem clubs, there should be a little trickle down effect (Barnsley/Stones), City/Bolasie? etc). On this basis how much would our best players be worth?

The relationship between pay and performance is a lot more transparent in a (largely) meritocratic field like football than it is in almost any other industry.

How can anyone rationalise paying that but not just that, man united borrow the money and then just service the debt. It is so fcuked up that I can't even put into words |

Sky.
I'm pretty sure I read something the other day that foreign clubs will charge so much for their players, but if an English club comes in the value usually doubles because of how much money we get from TV deals etc compared to them.

Juventus paid Man Utd £1.5M for Pogba. Good business to sell him back for £89M!

On this basis how much would our best players be worth? What annoys me most over the Pogba fee is Man Us refusal to reimburse Bournemouth fans for their pointless visit to Old Trafford on the last day of season when the match was called off and ground evacuated. Tickets were able to be used on the following Tuesday and if you couldn't go you got a refund but the travel costs, coaches were not compensated for. Man U said "it was not our responsibility" and so couldn't reimburse for travel costs. It would have cost less that £50,000. Then they go and pay £100m for Pogba. It is the utter contempt they show towards fans that annoys me and the attitude they show towards responsibility. If I continue on this theme it will be a rant so I'll stop now! UTG! |

Isn't it Bounemouth who should cover their fans travel costs,thats who they went to support.
The game was abandoned for a bomb alert or something,if it was Man U's fault the game was abandoned fair enough,but I didn't think it was
Did Wycombe pay for our fans travel costs for the abandoned game there.

Nominally it should have been Bournemouth I agree. Probably The Premier League could/Should have covered it/reimbursed Bournemouth after the fact.
As for player values as a whole, I think their is no real barometer anymore. There is so much money at the top that clubs like Burnley can turn down £20m for an average defender.

I'm sure those Bournemouth fans got free travel to and from the rearranged fixture. United refunded tickets and provided free entry for the rearranged game. There's things to criticise the Prem for but I'm not sure that rearranged game is one of them. |

I'm no Bournemouth fan although I see them play but if a match is stopped from even beginning because of a mystery package in a ground then I would expect the home club to assume responsibility and don't think the away team should take responsibility for what happens in the home ground. I guess my point is that with all their money being spent on one player they couldn't accept they hadn't checked the stafium beforehand, recognised an unknown package and paid the travelling expenses of normal, non wealthy fans who had spent the day travelling, etc. for no match. When I go to a football match I expect the home team to have prepared their ground so that it is safe and ready. But if you think it wasn't Man Us fault fair enough it's all about opinions. ps I think Bournemouth paid for all coaches on the rearranged Tuesday but can't confirm. UTG! |

There's things to criticise the Prem for but I'm not sure that rearranged game is one of them. Yes they did get rearranged match travel paid for. My point is that the fans who couldn't make the rearranged match did not get reimbursed for travel. Those who could make it used the tickets but those who couldn't make it, about 1500-2000 did not get their travel reimbursed from the Sunday. I actually believe Man U should be able to ensure that the ground is ready for fans and does not have a package left over from an inspection 2/3 days before but if you think that's not the case then ok. Not going to get into relative arguments for the Wycombe match, but strictly speak lightning (if it happened) would be classed as an "act of God" in insurance terms for which club is less responsible. |
