But it shouldn’t, it means nothing to us, whether someone costs £45m or £4.5m we should still expect the same level of performance.
Simply view all transfers as undisclosed.

Player Valuation: £35m
I totally agree with you, I think he has been shocking for the last 5 months as well, falls over easy, not strong enough on the ball, get a decent offer in the summer I say sell as there are better players out there for his money, just look up AJAX
Papa Shango
Player Valuation: £70m
We did that a couple of seasons ago.
Baines' left foot
Player Valuation: £90m
Coleman still gets dogs abuse at every opportunity though.
Just have a look at his thread, it’s full of people saying he’s awful and finished etc.
So basically, what I’m taking from this thread is, if you don’t cost a lot of money you’re allowed to play crap.

Player Valuation: £50m
Well if the money means nothing we may as well sell our best players cheapl then. Simplyvsee it as undisclosed as you say

i've just explained why it means something to the fans, especially the ones who spend money on the club or on the products from related adverts but also most of us who expect a 40m striker to come close to the performance levels of the 70m striker we sold. transfer values are a guide as to how good the player is, roughly speaking.
But the player doesn’t decide the fee? It’s not particularly fair on them is it. Like I say, a level of performance is expected at Everton no matter how much you cost.
You should be praised and criticised regardless of fee.

increased transfer fees mean increased expectation. it's not a controversial point, it's pretty much universally accepted.

Yep, everyone does, despite their service to this club except Richie.
I always find it weird that some of our fans say we shouldn't get fixated on how much we pay for players, yet they get fixated and take the piss out of other teams when they pay big money for their players, Keita at the RS being a prime example.
But it’s flat out dumb.

it's really not. it's dumb to not understand why higher transfer fees mean higher expectations.
you buy £10 kettle, you expect £10 performance.
you buy £80 kettle however...
you rent a £30 gigolo, you get a £30 gigolo...you rent @Bungle however, who charges £250 per hour...
your club buys a £4m player, you don't expect world-class. your club buys a £40m player however...
...fill in the obvious blanks. the rules of market forces aren't exact but they've been our rough guide to expected value for thousands of years. the football transfer market is no exception.
You are not guaranteed a player settles in quicker just because you pay 45mil rather than 15mil. It's silly to expect it.
Always give them the first season to settle in unless clearly rubbish or not what we needed, then just hope they do fairly well and look forward to their next season. He has done fairly well, although nothing amazing. Basic requirements of a young new signings first season have been achieved.
The greater expectation starts next season for me. And only if it's not going well will I then start to think of the fee, as you'd be wondering are we stuck with another one we won't get the money back on.
