Worth 17 times more after being relegated???????

No surprises why teams prefer to buy abroad with this nonsense. Good player but I'm sure there are cheaper options abroad with better experience.

How did you work out the 17 times more?

 

[M17TT C]

0.5 x 17 = 8.5

It's primary school maths........

But I'm wondering where you got those numbers from? The article says he went for an undisclosed fee and signed for 750k. Unless the article has changed?

The fee I've seen mentioned was £4.5m

Yeah I can only think the article has changed or he's taking speculative figures from the comments.

The article was only the bold opening paragraph when I link it with the 'more to follow' at the bottom.

I read an article linked from their gossip column early today which gave those figures which is what I was working from:

Fair enough. The fact that both articles cite different purchase fees shows how pointless it is to take any of them seriously

Please don't tell me that everything the papers say isn't true?

No it is, it's just sometimes life doesn't reflect truth.

Reality is often an illusion.

 

[M17TT C]

Is that because life is a mirror but truth is invisible?

 

[Biffa Bacon]

Reality is often an illusion.

No reality is reality, illusions are illusions but often the observer can't tell the difference

0.5 x 17 = 8.5

That's 17 times as much, not 17 times more. It's primary school English.

Well English always was my achillies heal......

 

[fox58]

It's good news for the Daggers, £1m winfall, they had a wage bill of £750,000 last season

Particularly the spelling aspect presumably.
