According to sources, Denis Zakaria costs 50 million Euros max., while Rice costs 80 million pounds. It is just that English players cost double the price. Technically, Zakaria is much better than Rice. Defensive wise, they are similar. So, just different nationalities No one is paying £80M for Rice, it's just an over the top price West Ham have set to ward off any offers because they don't want to sell yet. When he eventually does move, the price will be a lot lower than that. Sure there might be the infamous English tax on the price like with Chillwell but are you seriously suggesting the market hasn't inflated in the last ten years?

No, I am not saying that prices overall have not changed, but English players go for much more than the non English players, even though most are not better than the non English alternatives. Maguire 80 million? Chilwell second most expensive Lb of all time? Rice will go for at least 70 million pounds.

shrenshah 186 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Considering the FFP relaxations, we should chop and change maximum this season and get Rice in as well... Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gesendet von meinem VOG-L29 mit Tapatalk The main reason is that PL teams have a lot of money. They don't need to sell. It would be the same if you asked for one of Leicester's foreign players. They sold Mahrez for a big fee. Soyuncu would cost just as much as Maguire did if he were to leave etc.. Rice is West Ham's best player. He's the last player they would wanna sell. Unless they receive a ridiculous offer, they will not even entertain the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lille sold Hazard for £32M and Pepe for £72M.

Vesper 30,164 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Edouard Mendy is a HARD PASS, especially for an INANE £45m. He looked sketchy in the last game I watched Rennes signed Mendy from Reims for just £3.6million in August 2019 and a £45m buy would mean his value has risen by over 12.5 times in one season.

I think Mendy would cost between 20M and 25M euros. I have no evidence but I'm guessing that's the price Rennes would be looking for. It's France not England and he's 28 yo. If the info by Téléfoot is anything to go by, the 16m euros rejected should be close to their valuation of the player. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onana is available for 30m and is practically begging to join, yet we don't seem to be very interested. The only explanation would be that the club have doubts him. Considering we've already seen him at the biggest stage(UCL) and he's statistically the best GK in the past 2 seasons in the competition. I just can't comprehend the decision.
