Tyrone Mings to Villa for £26m? In a window full of baffling player valuations this might be the most mental one yet. I remember back when he played for Ipswich I posted on this very dead gay forum that he'd be a £20m player one day and now its happening I just think wtf. He signed for Bournemouth for £8m, spent 4 years being injured and benched, goes out on loan to the division below and has half a good season and now he's worth a Drogba?

It seems like transfer fees are now entirely dictated by the financial status of the two clubs involved rather than anything to do with the player.

Bournemouth would be insane not to take that. It's £26m for a player that isn't even in their plans next season.

The industrial shitholes where the non-Shanghai teams play are more polluted, and have less going on than Shanghai, especially for people who aren’t fluent in Chinese.

Rich footballers can be taken care of and be insulated from this, but it’s still grim.

A Drogba, adjusted for inflation is in fact £36m in today’s money, OP. Using one of Drog’s contemporaries, Mings is more of a Damien Duff who cost £25.6m.

Which brings me on to our usual TRP yardstick...the Andy Carroll is now worth £42m.

Wasn't Carroll's actual transfer fee at the time something silly like £35,017,000 or something? I mean yes paying £35M for him in itself is ludicrous but just the random extra cost for like extra tape for the physic or whatever.

But yeah, getting old sucks. I remember when you could get a Shearer for a few million quid or a McManaman on a free :corsair:

£35,012,000 because Liverpool were late paying so they charged interest.

Also, I just realised Sturridge will turn 30 in September. :staredog:

So Villa have signed Mings and El-Ghazi, who they had on loan last season, and replaced Tammy Abraham with some Brazilian from the Belgian league, thus spending £50m to make their squad slightly worse than it was at the end of the season.

Best signing we could have made this window imo. Expensive but then Bournemouth knew we were desperate to get him.
