He isn't, I find it hard to believe anyone would pay that kind of money for a player who can't even make the bench of the 8th placed team.

What about for someone that kept Villa afloat for a few years before they met their doom after he left?

Yep, in todays market he would probably be worth it but a player who can't even make the bench in a midtable squad should never attract that kind of money.

Says you?

We got 50m for sterling, we want 30m for tekkers so **** off anything else <laugh>
 
Not a joke: Jose Mourinho having talks with Balotelli.


Now before you get your hopes up, it doesn't sound like United are going to hire him. Balotelli has been talking to Jose for advice.

True, but strikers always carry more value. Whereas average midfielders going to 5th place teams for a world record fee, the world is crazy.

Thats like saying balotelli is class cause he helped city to their title. Also the let delph go that year. The fact bentekkers who i rate cannot get in ahead of firmino, origi, sturridge and possibly ings tells its own story about liverpools valuation

Our valuation is 30 minimum as far as i know. he doesnt fit our team but he is still a valuable asset.

Not really, they win the title despite having Balotelli!

Benteskey and his goals clearly helped keep Villa in the PL

He's not getting in the side die to style, nothing to do with quality
 
You got shares in Bony?

Maybe. Haha just think hes a class hold up man. He's just unfortunate that city have aguero or that when he plays he was surrounded by sterling and navas both clowns who cannot pass or cross a ball and spend way too much time dribbling

Balotelli helped them win the title. I remember him scoring numerous goals that year including the equaliser at qpr

FFS... <doh>

A few penalties don't make a quality player. However, we'll follow your argument.

Balotelli joined Milan from Man City for £24m. In today's market, that's equivalent to about £40m!

My point was playing poorly for a season and a half should impact your value and how good you were. Balotelli is worthless even though he was decent back then. Bony went for 24m a few seasons back and even his value has been affected.

You would have to be a muggins to pay the same as liverpool who overpaid and cant even find space for him on the bench. Plus you have a bloated squad and need to buy else where
 
You are in luck though as palace will be those mugs just as city were with sterling
Thats what we care about bobby, getting shot and getting a not so catastrophic return, something we have been very bad with imo for years Bar your sterlings torres and suarezs

We are still making a loss on him and on markovic & balo for sure when sold

Paying the same figure as we paid isn't really paying the same amount though is it?

Yes, it is the same number but the transfer market as vastly inflated since last summer thanks to the TV money.

£32m this summer is more in liking to what, £22m-£24m last year?


If someone had been buying the Benteke of twelve months ago from Villa then the figures would be more around £45m imo
