KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum why so many young players for big money

all these transfers rumors are starting to worry me 18 MILLION FOR HENDERSON f... OFF

unless we have more money than us fans no about 18 million for him you could get world class for that price fs Suarez only cost a bit more than that and he wouldn't start rather have James McCarthy for backup cost no more than 8 million and IMO is a better player hes just not English if he was hed be the same value easy

we need players to start and if thats who is goin to start i think we are going to regret it.

just hope if we do sign him theres going to be more coming in with a lot more quality

Im still having a hard time to believe that hendersen rumours r true. Could be just a media stirup, Hendersen is a good young player at the right price but surely we are in for the positions we most lack and thats wingers and defenders.

Basically because most of them are english, and young players have the ability to double or multiply in transfer value within a few years. But it's not really that profitable in the current market as it was previously to buy youngsters. Because of internet etc and the now readily available tech, players are being found and rated or hyped etc even if they are the next messi or just found out to be absolutely rubbish, so there prices increase due to competitions from clubs. That's why when the mancs got Hernandez it was such a surprise and it's fair to say maybe only 0.001% of footy fans probably knew who he was before he signed for the scum.

Have noticed not just young players, but every player we have been linked with. Maybe a sign of the financials for most Premier league clubs. They simply don't want or need to sell and are putting ludicrous price tags on players to prevent transfers.

It really seems that we are going to struggle to get many quality players for sensible money. Bargains like Rafael van der Vaart appear non existent at present. Maybe the scouts have found a few, but it isn't looking like it.

English premiums my friends, if they are half decent, the press thinks they are the next "_________" slot class player here.

Van Der Vaart was because his deal with BM fell through if I remember, thus 11th hour. Supposedly Harry was not involved but he was with Piennar,amazing move Harry...

The future bodes well for us, as English players are notoriously highly priced due to there basically being a lack of them worldwide, and in the Premier League so considering we have maybe 2-4 potential definate 1st team England players coming through our academy with another 2-3 being capable of being regular squad players the value of our squad in the fute seems extremely extremely bright. As long as we hold onto the majority of them till there 24 they should incrase in value to minimum of 8-20mil per player if they reach there potential minimum, ala Warnock, Baines, Johnson etc

Tottenham basically did that prior to Ronaldo's sale to Real Madrid which caused the market to become so inflated, so Spur's team was full of English players who effectively almost doubled in value whilst the rest of there team was full of youthful players of other nations who increased in value as well but not as much as the english ones but still staying on low wages. e.g Huddlestone, Lennon, Hutton, Bale, Dawson, Assou Ekkoto, Modric, Jenas, Defoe, and all the other english players they have on loan at other clubs, Walker, O'hara, Rose

Then after the Ronaldo transfer they sold some of the players on inflated prices like Berbatov, Keane and Bent at the highest possible prices before the prices in the market went back down, and that's how effectively they built a new team again, Fergie properly f'd us over with the Ronaldo deal without even knowing about it.

Nothing to do with Ronaldo. It's the whole home grown thing - ever since the FA introduced that rule English players have doubled in price. There are so few quality English players that the clubs with them will ask the Earth in order to part with them, even if the player puts in a transfer request. Young wanted away in Jan, but that made no difference to the asking price, ditto Adam. It's interesting actually - players suddenly can't just choose their club any more, which ironically is better for the game even if it hurts us right now. I think we all agree that players should honour their contracts. Of course, one only needs to look at Fabregas to see where keeping a want-away player takes one, but many EPL managers are slow learners.

Was agreeing until the hernandez bit. Lots of people knew who he was, arsenal had been linked with him for 3 years prior to Utd snapping him up. whilst being an absolute bargain, he definitely wasn't unknown like this myth that's going round suggests.

for the first time in many many yeas we've got a transfer strategy. we got the right people in place and i trust them to do the right thing for the club.

yes £18m is too much for henderson and i don't think we'll bid over £15m. but if kenny and comolli decides to do so then i'll trust them that it's the right thing to do.
