[ENG] Premiership 2012/2013 (22 Viewers)

England's Brave John Terry can't be a racist, but that dirty South American obviously is.

Please, that's one newspaper showing inconsistency with their headlines.

The Mirror, Daily Mail (surprised) and ITV say racism abuse charge. The Sun and BBC say abuse charge or charge.

The Terry case is also different, because unlike Suarez it doesn't hinge solely on racist abuse. Although I'd really like to see how many players in future get found guilty of abusing each other in a general way.

Good thing they don't say anything about Anton provoking him or his two elbows to Terry

Mancini: "We don't need (to sign) 10 players like a couple years ago, now we only need 3, or 4.. Or 5"

Lol...

 

[piotrr]

I think they need some new strikers, maybe 2 or 3

 

[Pablo]

Well Fletcher is leaving Wolves, and is in City's price range........THEY WANT £15 MILLION FOR HIM !!!!!!!!!!

 

[Red]

Looks like Bale is now missing the Olympics with an injury.

Well Fletcher is leaving Wolves, and is in City's price range........THEY WANT £15 MILLION FOR HIM !!!!!!!!!!

Fletcher's a good player.

He's probably worth about £7m.

Being scottish Scottish knocks his price down to 5m.

Average prem player, £7 millis prob about right!!!

 

[JuveJay]

Any 'good' British player has a standard £15m price tag now, it's hilarious.

All the top 4 league's, over-value their players....its just the anti English mob that think its just England !

 

[Red]

England takes it to a different level from the others.

Liverpool's transfers in the last couple of years being the prime example.

Ahh but that rabble are a breed on their own !!!

Take them out of it, and its no worse than Serie A !

I'm English, but my point still stands. It certainly does happen in all the top leagues, I said as much in another thread recently.

But in England it becomes way past excessive.

 

[Osman]

It is worse then Serie A, because they operate with more cash, and the fact of EPL teams having less domestic players then Serie A, makes them value their own players quite excessively.

 

[Red]

Nah, Pablo.

They are still quicker to pay stupid money for whoever the English flavour of the month is (Jones, Smalling, Walcott, etc.).

In other countries they at least wait for players to prove something before throwing a heap of cash at them.

Your point does still stand, and you are correct. I was just adding balance to the argument.

We have more money in England to, which will add to the value's.

Also though, for every Jordon Henderson, you have a Acquilani !

For every Andy Carrol, you have a Amauri !

Jones - £18 Million (Release clause met) , so was not really his value!
Smalling £12 Million, meh, not really much is it !!
Walcott - £10 million, not that much is it really !!

Iaquinta
Amauri
Acquilani
Montella
Ranocchia
Cassano
Quag
Matri
Pazzini
Bonocci (at the time was very high)
Jovetic*
Gaston*

Ok, not Italian, but unrealistic valuations!

 

[Red]

I'd say only Bonucci and Ranocchia can be compared to how deals are done for young players in England.

 

[Pablo]

They are all comparable. Inflated fee's for "Great" form!!

I meant Gilardinho instead of Montella !

I prefer Seria A for talent imo, but im just trying to add balance to the debate.

Im sure last season, as much money was spent in Serie A as in Premier League !
