16 - Fermín López

[serghei]

Fermin can't be sold for a cheap fee. His age, his workrate, his end product in bigger games... we're talking about a minimum of 80m or so.

But selling valuable players that are an important part of the team is not an idea we should adopt.

 

[draconifire]

double the price that Chelsea offered.

Thats ideal for him.

I read somewhere Real M want to sell Arda for 100mil lol.

Also Arda has higher MV then Fermin which is like biggest joke ever.

If he is 100mil then Fermin is 120mil easy.

To be fair, RM does a lot better job hyping up all their players (including the mediocre ones) than we do. They are masters in marketing compared to our dogshit marketing team.

It's not only that.

When teams know you have to sell or are a bit desperate to sell they will squeeze you as much as they can in negotiations.

Real Madrid don't have that issue. They can keep the player until they get the value they are fine with.

Folk always claim this about Real but can barely remember a good sale from them in years.

Casimero maybe but he had also won a lot and name.

What mediocre players have they gone and got big money for?

If anything they too have sold a lot of players who went on to be valued more much more so than impressive sales.

Off the top of my head: Casemiro, Di Maria, Ozil, Ramos, Khedira, Illaramendi, James Rodriguez, all sold successfully/offloaded wages successfully

Real Madrid always sold players deemed washed up at inflated price. That's what special about their market dealings.

But that hasn't happened recently.

Meanwhile we can't get rid of nobody. MATS, Ansu...

Di Maria was a CL winner and held up by many as most important player in that win.. how is that a mediocre player?

Same with Ozil he was good for Real and being replaced by Isco who emerged at Malaga.

Ramos? Khedira?

Khedira ran his contract down and couldnt get rid of him earlier.

lllaramendi sold for half what they paid.

None of those names are mediocre players being sold for top fees.

Not really 'washed up' but at right age when soon to decline with Casimero/Varane etc.

Barca could do the same but choose not to... incorrectly in my opinion but thats where at.

That is Real selling at right time not being masters at punting mediocre players.
