Proof that the English market is a load of bollix....

What will happen to their values if the 6 + 5 rule comes in?? It is a joke - I think Spurs will end up paying more fo John Bostock than Dos Santos, Bostock being the 16 year old they signed from Crystal Palace.

From what I have heard, he will be the best out of all three of them. The lad has the world at his feet.

But then so did Pongo and Le ****............

I think that value for Barry is what you would pay for most international centre mids to be honest. Not that much more than we got for Sissoko.

With the Dos Santos deal you have to factor in wages. Not that I have any firm idea but I would imagine the lad from Barca will be on more than Ramsey will be. That's not to say that British youth is not over valued but I think that overall the market isn't as ridiculous as some make out.

even carrick and hargreaves went for more. surely barry is no worse than either of them?

Hargreaves yes, Carrick no

Carrick and Hargreaves are both excellent players. Both of them and Barry perform different roles with Carrick the most similar to Barry of the two. I would say they are of comparable quality with which you want depending on the way you wish to set up your team.

in all fairness, i don't think carrick is an "excellent player".

The transfer market in this country is completely insane. Moving up a level from u-20's, take the example of two early 20's players transferred last summer.

Darren Bent = £17m
Fernando Torres = £20m

Case closed

Im in favour of a transfer and wage cap being put in place.
