Top secrets of the Transfer Market;
No 4: Both superstar and weakest links are overvalued.
No 6: Older players are overvalued
No 7: Centre-forwards are overvalued: goalkeepers are undervalued.

Getting Zlan would be a massive mistake.

Out of interest what are 1,2 and 3?

1. A new manager wasts money on transfers; don't let him. page 24

Chances of them two would be slim. That Napoli owner is bat [Poor language removed] crazy and changes his mind every five mins on prices. He already stated he wanted over 100 mill for Koulibaly

 

[royvernon39]

"Nothing strangulates a sports club more than having oler players on long contracts, because once they stop performing, they become immovable.
And as they become older, the risk of injury becomes exponetial".

Yet many clubs still insist on paying for past performance. page 34

Does Soccernomics mention Michael Keane at all?

Lol

Hardly ironic considering I don’t suggest players we’ll try sign, is it.

Ive also read it.

it also points to teams spending the most on wages....finish higher.

Big yikes when you figure Mason Greenwood, Gabriel Jesus, Rashford, Abraham, Martinelli are better in all areas except for pressures (laughable that's a reason to play a striker) and minutes played for Everton.

Aye that Martinelli looked belting againat Slabhead on Saturday...

 

[Nymzee]

I must say I don’t see a single Napoli player coming here btw. He’s was only there a few months; lazy, lazy journalism.
