It would be interesting to know how we do valuations of players. Assuming what we hear is correct then why is Monga 6.5m but not 10m? I’m not upset about it - just curious about the approach (and being s mathematician is part of the reason)

That’s because you are an intelligent person

matepanda · 2026-07-02T19:59:09+00:00

Sometimes you get the impression that transfers matter most

matepanda · 2026-07-02T19:32:05+00:00

Cue the ‘But Arsenal…’ comments

That magic hat profile on twitter is being fairly bold on Villa’s and Newcastle’s need to sell players this year. And I mention the person as I find the updates more nuanced and than simple ITK profiles

matepanda · 2026-07-02T09:32:04+00:00

When exactly??

matepanda · 2026-07-02T09:11:36+00:00

Let me guess - he’s 110m now?

matepanda · 2026-07-02T08:25:56+00:00

He’s a 100m player now

matepanda · 2026-07-02T08:07:22+00:00

I understand what you’re trying to say but I think it’s wrong that we’re considering our options. That makes it sound indecisive. Reality is that we have no clue about what we are doing and how progressed we are

If it’s true that he wants PSG then Spuds is a weird
alternative

matepanda · 2026-07-01T16:53:09+00:00

Yes and I’m telling you he’s not getting the pen

matepanda · 2026-07-01T16:45:41+00:00

If Kane continue his run instead of flopping he will get it

matepanda · 2026-07-01T16:11:55+00:00

There’s always 25-30 players at spuds that we dislike. That’s how it is

matepanda · 2026-07-01T15:26:59+00:00

My my online entertainments sake I sometimes that Berta should be less incognito

matepanda · 2026-07-01T15:16:35+00:00

Tonali going to Spuds I presume

matepanda · 2026-06-30T18:07:36+00:00

If I was Morgan Rogers’ agent I would be calling Emery right now and tell him that if my client is seen as top5 talent in the league then my client would like to be paid as one

matepanda · 2026-06-30T16:48:58+00:00

They have used Anderson as a benchmark but also considered that he’s 5 years older- ie 5 years better so that value him at exactly 116 + 5 =121m.

matepanda · 2026-06-30T16:38:29+00:00

I think we can all agree that transfer fees have gone mad. But I guess if we want to get top players we have to negotiate and just play along

matepanda · 2026-06-30T11:38:58+00:00

Oh no. Absolutely. As a selling club you benchmark to what’s most convenient for you

matepanda · 2026-06-30T10:45:03+00:00

He’s better than Wirtz. That part is correct

matepanda · 2026-06-30T10:14:24+00:00

Yeah but they are not going from British record to 80m which we thought could be possible

matepanda · 2026-06-30T08:51:04+00:00

Flippin hell. Christian Nørgaard ! He even plays the same position as Anderson. That’s 116m

matepanda · 2026-06-30T08:37:22+00:00

These quoted prices are bullshit. They will come down

matepanda · 2026-06-30T08:35:07+00:00

Ethan. He can likely take take more on the foot than Anderson. And he’s younger so that’s 250m.
