I like Benitez but he is the budget fat Mourinho. But would take him
He is less explosive than Mourinho, more likely to deal with Levy for a while. Mourinho is a genius but also nuts.

Depending on the player and where they are from then yes. If we are talking 2011 compared to now, although I personally feel we got Ndombele very cheap relative to true market value.
I would expect a decent young DM these days to be 50-60m unless we are good at bargain hunting which we are often not.
And this is why I struggle with football today, because this attitude is the norm.
Nah mate, fuck your day out at Wembley and memories of seeing your club lift a trophy, I'd rather watch us play Red Star Belgrade on a Wednesday night.
Nonsense.
Just answer the question.
Is ten 10M comparable to 64M between 2010 and 2019?
Was VanDyke the equivalent of 14M?
Maybe, maybe £20m, £30m at most if the seller if good at driving the price.
This doesnt make sense. Its not a special world of football monopoly made up money.
75M doesnt become 20M or 30M depending on the agent. Its real money and the only inflation it is affected by is the inflation that affects everything else.
If footballers got expensive, they got expensive because the game got richer.
But 10M in 2010 is 12.7M today and there is no other metric.
No probably 20M....maybe 30M, depends on how slick the seller was, no magic football money outside of the real world that has a different value to the money you buy a house with, just plain old currency, affected by plain old inflation.
What your saying is the stuff of cloud cuckoo fantasy
Well that went down well......Are we seriously thanking him for coming above Woolwich? I think we should thank him for showing there is still a chance for any del boy or chancer in life that you can still con the public in order for you to earn some money. Argentinean mike bassett
Its not a difficult concept. Sammy is just being thick (hopefully deliberately)Can you not see that over a 10 year period fees have gone up many many times for players, why is this a difficult concept?
Harry would right now be trying to bring back Defoe and Crouch and bench Kane.Harry would have bought Kenwyne Jones for 30 million.
Jol was eventually sacked for poor performances, love the guy but no way was he better than Poch.
Hahaha any idea what the record amount of dislikes is? I didn't do to badWell that went down well......
WTF, you do realise what inflation is don’t you?
and I mean inflation applied to a particular market. Are you suggesting that Van Dijk would have sold in 2011 for anything even remotely close to £75m? Can you not see that over a 10 year period fees have gone up many many times for players, why is this a difficult concept?
No idea. Must have been close.....Hahaha any idea what the record amount of dislikes is? I didn't do to bad
Of course he wouldnt have cost 75M because as Ive said the money went up in the game, so the prices went up.
The concept is not difficuly for me. Its you that thinks 450M is less than 158M
Oh FFS

Ok let’s start
Player a
Player b
Player c
Player d
Player e
Player f
In 2011 a, b, c, d, e, f sold for around £26m each.
In 2019 a new set of 6 players of similar ability to the previous set sold for around £75m each.
This is inflation.
