Who would you prefer? Rice for me.
This!None.
If he'd stayed Irish he would have been a bargain for someone.Rice is your typical over hyped English player. If he wasn't English, he'd be half that price.
I think looking at how fees have gone over the past year, this is the correct answer. All the top teams are overpaying now to the extent where its hard to class what is overpaying now?Don’t care about transfer fees. Never cared about transfer fees. Both of them would improve us dramatically and both would have been terrific signings for us. Oh well.
This is the best way any team could have spent £100m this summer. He is the only one out of the 3 that is special.Jude Bellingham
This.At those prices, I'm glad we weren't involved.
It's basically City's fault for paying £100M for Grealish, who wasn't worth that much either. They've again distorted the market, because the level of transfer fee is irrelevant to them.This.
Its fecking ridiculous. These kinds of players shouldn't be anywhere near 100million pound
That was actually a release clause, wasn't it? Atm it was a bidding war that escalated.It's basically City's fault for paying £100M for Grealish, who wasn't worth that much either. They've again distorted the market, because the level of transfer fee is irrelevant to them.
Yeah over the course of 5 years, we'll probably end up spending more than them to resolve that position.Generally prefer Caicedo.
Also wouldn't be overly precious about how much they paid for a DM. With Casemiro 31 years old, we might need to be shopping in that same market again before too long.
For the past 10 years everyone has been talking about the insane amount of money spent by Premier League clubs. Caicedo is literally the record signing in the history of the Premier League.I think both will be considered as good value for money in one/two seasons.
In fairness though Real are just building him up for us with them being our feeder club nowThis is the best way any team could have spent £100m this summer. He is the only one out of the 3 that is special.
Him as our number 8 would have been a dream come true.
He will (or could to be exact) if prices keep ramping up next decade. I think it's an unsustainable bubble but have been proven wrong for more than a decade now.For the past 10 years everyone has been talking about the insane amount of money spent by Premier League clubs.

I don't know that it's even possible that he's considered good value for money. If he goes on to be one of the best midfielders in the history of the league then that would basically mean they got what they paid for.
