The real Brendan not the false one.

?? Value is set by the buying club, nobody was prepared to offer more than £40mil last year, to get £17.5mil more after one great season would be exceptional. If Liverpool value him at £80mil and nobody offers that what does that make his true market value?
It is all relative really, he may be worth much more than that to Liverpool in shirt sales and league position/Champions League Money gained by his performancies.

That`s what i meant by my last sentence![]()
Value is set by the club who have him even if it's formalised with a buyout clause. He's theirs so its their valuation that matters. unless you are a club who only produces players with selling in mind every time which we are not.
Indeed, inquiring clubs can disagree about the valuation but that doesn't result in the valuation being lowered or we'd all be offering a pound for Messi.

But a player only becomes a certain value if a club is prepared to pay that. Ronaldo and Bale were valued at £80mil because two clubs were prepared to pay that, Carrol was obviously valued at £35mil by Liverpool because they paid that for him. You can place a price tag of £1 billion on a player, if nobody pays it it means nothing.

I guess Giggs, Scholes and co were never worth a penny then
How do you know Real wouldn't have paid more for C.Ronaldo or Bale...?
PS...Re; £1b. It means the club that own the player values him higher than anyone else.
Bit over simplistic.
The valuation by the owning club is arrived at over various concerns, shirts yes are part of it, but performance for us and what that performance gains the club in competitions etc, possibility of performance AGAINST us if sold to a rival, ability to replace like for like or improve upon. Ability to attract players because that player plays for the club....increased value of club sponsorship because that player is at the club..decreased value of sponsorship if player not at club. It's not just a number pulled out of thin air hoping someone will fall for it or even be frightened off by it.
It's a valuation based on real numbers.
Realise that but my point was the value of a player is set by the selling club. If someone thinks he is worth more then he moves, otherwise he stays put.
You may be getting confused between price and value/worth, Suarez probably makes lots of money for Liverpool in shirt sales, league position and extra money from gaining a Champions League place. At Barca he would not out sell shirts of Messi or Nymar (maybe for the first 2 months as a new player), he would not single handedly improve their league position and he would not gain them extra Champions League money, so although they may wish to add him to their squad his value/worth to them may not be as high as it is to Liverpool.

Not certain who you're talking to, but I agree with everything. At least, I hope that's what Liverpool do...

They seem to be trying extremely hard to get someone they don't really need.

Yeah, just an excuse for a few Catalonians to have a jolly in London for a few days.

Do you reckon there'll be a second meeting in Barcelona in return, so that Ayre can go to the beach and do some sightseeing?
