Saint Virgil. [Done deal]

[Onionman]

Well, I could be picky and suggest that a player's value actually DOES resemble a bag of carrots. Carrots do not have a fixed price per weight. They have a value relative to other carrots [just like footballers to other footballers]. The price you pay in a shop is an offer price. Yours to accept or turn down. You could even argue the price down, but we don't in the UK. It's not so different really.

It's odd, but you have to disagree on the value in order to do a deal. The buyer must value the item as being worth more than the selling price whereas the seller must value the item lower than the price. So the basis of capitalism is disagreement rather than what you might expect, namely agreement.

Can not think of one player that played well in Scotland and then failed to deliver when coming to England

Hooper?

The value of the carrots also varies from store to store which could be down to how good they are or how well they are displayed. So just like footballers really

There you go..!

I can think of a few:

Barry Ferguson
Kenny Miller
Kris Boyd
Boumsong
Lorenzo Amoruso
Neil McCann (although... was he any good in Scotland?)

Neil McCann

He was pretty **** the 9 times he played

I didn't realise there was a qualification number of games

Most high profile footballers playing in Scotland make it in the English Premier. It does depend on the team they are joining and how they are used in my view. It also does depend on which country they play for if they are internationals. It would be unusual for a Dutch international to be a flop in the EPL.

Pretty much the whole Middlesbrough/SPL team from the Strachan & Tony Mowbray era flopped

That is.... not even close to correct.

Well, your reasoning is cogent, rational and well-argued though I'm still a little uncertain about the conclusion.

Oh I can't wait to see the justification for this.

Jelavic, Riorden, Stokes, Goodwillie, Craig Gordon, Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink.

There's plenty. He'll be fine though.

To be fair on Jan Vennegor of Hesselink, he had to carry a hell of a weight on his shoulders...

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

The original position of seller and buyer may be a disagreement about price, but nothing can be achieved until they agree...so in that sense it is about compromise and agreement.
