Leicester fans were thinking he would go for around £5m and seemed happy with that. £12m + add ons does seem pretty mental.
I never said it was. But what I did say was that it is pretty rare for players to go 6x or 7x what that site says. It’s not that far wrong. The site doesn’t factor in premiums like the club really not wanting to sell. And it seems to only partially apply a value increase for longer contracts I talked about 3x or 4x happening and the circumstances where it does. And that is what we apparently want for Fernandes. And consider that what that site says might also be a reason why West Ham seem so reluctant to go much higher than 2x the value from the site. Because they assume elements like wanting to play in the premier league and what the national team manager tells a player offsets things like contract length and us not wanting (or needing) to sell It’s a more useful tool than anything else out there
