when Neymar becomes the face of everything to do with qatar yes..... i mean they are seriously going to milk that asset.
They claim 30 variables plus the following - Contract duration Year of transfer Book value Loan status Level of buying club (estimated) Using Sigurdsson as the e.g. as everybody seems to be - he would have been expected to go to a club of similar status to Swansea as he's not a rising star and hasn't had much 'success' nor is he in the 'limelight'. That means his value is automatically judged to be lower than players of similar age but with higher 'status'. You could probably name several players of the same age, same book value who are valued higher because they would be wanted by the bigger clubs. I don't know how Swansea managed to get over the odds for him even in the light of crazy summer prices but I'm confident it wasn't based on book value. Interestingly his price on FF went down when he moved to Everton #nowthatsscience
At the end of the day Everton wanted him and thought him worth the £45m so that's all that counts in the 'real world'. He scored an absolute cracking goal [that they didn't 'need'] #doingalukaku - they'll be hoping for more of the same to show what his real worth is.
All of which is without any damages. Based upon what Barca offered we could easily withhold his licence until damages are settled in a civil court. Breech of contract doesn't just cover his wages. Try again. Why would we repudiate the contract until we got EVERYTHING we wanted from both himself and his agent? Again, think about what you're saying - if it was that easy why wouldn't VVD, for instance, had done this in a shot? They'd have no licence to play football for years as it meandered through the courts, for a start.

Exactly, unless in the unlikely event his club allowed him to meet Wenger, the same applies to Couthinho and his agent discussing terms with Barca without LFC's permission. It's rife in the game though.
