Usually they use the world transfer record at the times to calculate the inflation

If someone moved for £5m when the record was £15m, that's 33%. If the world record now was £200m, 33% of that is £66m. Ie, the £5m becomes £66m.

That kind of accounting genius would get you a job at barca, Chelsea or juve.

Probably the easiest and fastest way to compare transfer fees over time though. But obviously, it gets distorted when clubs like PSG decide to throw £222m at a **** like Neymadge

It actually tells you how they've calculated it in the article...

Our approach in calculating football inflation mimics the method used to work out inflation on goods and services.

But instead of comparing the average price of a basket of goods, we compare how the average fee for a Premier League player has changed season-on-season.

When Andriy Shevchenko completed his £30.8m move to Chelsea in 2006/07, it gazumped the average Premier League fee, which was around £3.13m.

Fast-forward through 15 more seasons of record-breaking transfers, and this average fee had skyrocketed to £21.9m, approximately seven times larger.

To make Shevchenko's fee reflective of today's transfer market, we multiplied it by seven to arrive at our inflation-adjusted record transfer fee of £215.6m.

This method of comparing the average fee for the season in which the transfer occurred to the average fee of the most recent season was used to calculate all our inflation-adjusted fees.

Our data contained over 3,000 transfer fees, encompassing every season since the Premier League began in 1992.

These fees were obtained from Sky Sports and transfermarkt.com, while some were independently sourced by Sky News.

Sell Salah for £200m, buy Vinicius Junior for £100m and then buy a RB and CB with the change...


Only issue I see with that is Vinicius Junior plays left :bandit:

Changed my mind...

Sell Salah for £200m, buy Lamine Yamal :bandit:

Well first It was read and laughed at.

they wrote a pile of drivel in there but then it simply cannot explain the fact that SWP cost 30 and Shevchenko cost 30 but their fees are inflated entirely differently. 7x from 2006 is all well and good but the same fee times 7X in 2005 (should be more than 7x) not ended up at the same number means its complete cock.

Its not how inflation actually works in real life lol.

Hope this is true. Desperate as we are, we just don't have £70m to chuck at a £35m player, anymore than we had £111m to buy a £50m players. If anything, we could get a decent, young CB for that. We need that more than blowing our (mingy) budget on an over-priced DM, though Endo did look a little out of his depth on Sunday.

As much as I don't want City to strengthen any, I'm happy for Wolves to be weaker ahead of our upcoming game.

I'm not really sure thats making them weaker right now but it will over the course of a year.

Wolves are woeful but O'Neil has had an immediate bounce. He will make it physical and the prior guy was a fan of **** housery as well.

I disagree. He's a very good ball winner which is exactly what we need right now. Not only that, he's very tidy on the ball.

Is he worth 70m? Of course not but we only have ourselves to blame for this whole debacle. In addition, were Fab and Hendo worth 52m combined? Nope.

are utd caught by ffp?

loan for cucurella and "amromatic"

they bought the wrong cm in mount and bought the wrong keeper (but the needed one) and bought the wrong striker and are now seemingly caught out and fishing for loans.

one of the biggest richest clubs in the world???

meanwhile Chelsea will spend another 400mil

But we don't need him to have vision. We have two excellent number 8's plus Trent who can provide the creativity. We essentially need a ball winner who can cover ground, position well and recycle possession.

we have the ball at least 50% of the time unless totally outclassed. 7% of the time as we would like it to be.

having a black hole in the lcm slot is the equivalent of having a black hole like Phillips at cb.

he might head the ball away and all that good stuff but then on the ball they slow everything and crab

no thanks.

also get trent away from the centre of the park and stop giving goals away.
