its gone crackers , 50 million for a right back ,
we will never compete ever again at Prem level , its gone , we cant even compete in the championship if you look at Boro signing assambolongo for 14 million
all of these average players becoming millionaire's without winning or doing fark all
bar the top 6 the premier league is boring as fcuk , whilst the salesman (sorry commentator) spouts on about being the best league in the world , its a joke , the game has gone now I really think it wouldn't do us any harm to drop into league 1 and enjoy "proper football" all of these millions and millions spunked on the Premier league yet England wont get out of their world cup group come the summer |  |

Well Burnley are managing it, signing people like Jack Cork and Jon Walters, you can imagine that being within our reach if we ever get our act together. You only need get promoted and the TV money means you can pay silly money if you want to as well. Not that it worked out well for us before.
Imagine what we'd have sold Ferdinand for now. £6m in 1996 is probably about £80m now. |  | | |

We can compete in the Prem but will take a while and whilst the spending is as mad as it is at the moment I think we're a lot better off out of it. |  | | |

Clive, Jack Cork went for 10 million, yes 10 million , keep repeating that, a nothing player not even capped or likely to ever get capped has gone for 10 million he doesn't score , he doesn't create ive never seen him do anything and that's now classed as a bargain , 10 million should get you maradona | |

His middle name is "Porteous", if that isn't worth £10m then I really don't know what is. |  |

Can someone far more erudite than me explain how Walker can go for 50M?? When I've seen Tottenham on TV here he looked classy, but recently he hasn't even been able to to hold down a place in their team. Crazy money. |  | | |

I think the main reason for that was MP knew he wanted out so was bedding in Trippier so he was ready to roll this year.
Walker is a decent player, but pointless going to City. Pep will pick him at right back, then centre midfield, drop him for 3 weeks then play him up front |  | | |

Pep's had a good look at the English game and decided to revert to something more primitive. Walker and Benjamin Mendy are pure athletes, clearly they're not going to be asked to build play through the middle. £90m for a bad Alves/Alba tribute act though... |  | | |

Agreed Dave, crazy.
How can we still be under the kosh on FFP with these silly prices going on and far from just Prem. Struggling to consider how to even regard the Authorities that want to penalise us.
Club should just say bolls to any fine and counter sue them for any relegations.

Does anyone think Walker has improved much as a player since he was with us? Serious question.
(That's not to say he wasn't awesome for us at this level, cos he was.) [Post edited 13 Jul 2017 20:52]

Unless I'm mistaken, the only medal that he's ever won was with us. |  | | |

I'm in Greece (well, one of the islands) at the mo' and they all love the Premiership. They simply cannot see what we see. Nor, do I suspect, they care. It has no effect on them.
Muliply this around the world with the £billions coming in and it will never change.
The UK fans, especially the ones who go to the games, and what we think are absolutely of no relevance anymore. |  | | |

We had a lot of luck that season. Bradley Orr getting injured meant we had to get Walker in on loan, who went on to tear this league a new one. Did he actually pick up the championship medal or was he gone by then ?
Taraabt gets a lot of plaudits but Walker and Routledge were immense that season. What a team. |  |

Every one who played over a certain amount of games gets a medal even if they left early.I think it was announced he was presented with his medal at the time. [Post edited 14 Jul 2017 1:19]

He was great that season but I'm not sure I agree we had a lot of luck. You could argue it was unlucky he got injured in the first place. Decent enough full back then. |  | | |

Its obscene.
It was apparent immediately he played for us that he is a top full back though. Good ability, mentality and size and that exceptionally good pace, he's a class act. I remember my mates laughing at me telling them he'd be playing for England soon at the beginning, but it's no surprise.
He was a big reason we got promoted that year, and spoke fondly of us the other day. Good on him. |  | | |

Agreed!
The only reason the likes of Burnley aren't paying £50m for a player, isn't because they don't want to, but because they haven't got that amount of money and, to be fair, a £50m player ain't going to Burnley this side of 31 December 2099.
Just imagine if we were still in the Prem, we'd probably be at the front of the madness queue, bidding like hyenas on crack!
I've said this type of nonsense will continue for a good while yet, as we're going to see the big clubs wanting to have the individual rights to sell their games online. To avoid or merely to delay, they'll squeeze more out of the collective deals before then.
If things like QPR's online stuff does well, I can see the top clubs wanting to go it alone. United selling online coverage of say, them at home against Liverpool, will be a $100m game! Throw in premium games against; City, Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal that's half a billion for just five games. Add in other games, especially those where the results carry a significant outcome, they'll easily be looking at a billion US from online alone. Throw in added advertising revenue, gate receipts and merchandising etc. there's a lot more juice to be squeezed out of this lemon.
The madness has miles left to go. I suspect those born before 1980 will drift away more and will be replaced not by supporters following by individual teams, but by 'football fans' choosing as image conscious consumers, winning results/success junkies and just big game voyeurs! Or put more simply; the Asian fan mindset!
By then, the pre-1980s will have; jacked it in totally for a simple DIY life at home with the missus (saving packets); earnestly following the non-leagues and delighting at only paying £50 to stand at Yeading or, buggered off to rugby!! [Post edited 14 Jul 2017 4:48]

You could say the same with Mackie getting injured meaning we got Routledge in on lone. Maybe it wasnt luck, maybe fate. Twas meant to be..
Thinking about it, the season was full of ups and downs. Faurlingate springs to mind. Bit unfortunate that happened but we still won the league. What a day that was.! | |

IIRC Walker played the first half of the season and it was his departure back to Spurs that allowed us to get Routledge for the second half. | | | |

There is a business model for clubs that buy, improve and sell on though like we used to. You need to improve the players you buy though and 15 in 15 out every 12 months does not allow that to happen. |  | | |

You sure?.
Yes Walker was playing first half but was covering for Orr..Orr struggled to get back in the team after his injury.
Routledge came in 2nd half as Mackie got injured. Routledge never played RB.
I stand to be corrected but thats how i remember it. | |
