There's no pile on. People are just pointing out the facts.

Why post something that you know is completely wrong and then desperately try to defend that position? It's just weird.


I thought, sincerely, that at the time of my first post, the scale of the replies attacking the op were way out of proportion in that the attacks were mainly focused on information provided by the Mirror. (Perhaps there is further debate where the op has developed the argument that came after my reply, I haven't checked the whole thread)

There is always a bias of fans protective of their clubs, whereby articles "underrating" our players produce a vitriolic response and I thought it was being directed at the op rather than The Mirror which supplied all the details.

I don't think that's weird, and I'm not setting out to be weird.

My second paragraph was in regards to the OP.

Your position is strange though. Surely you can acknowledge there is no way in hell his valuation has gone down? So it's not about being undervalued, it's about the article being total sh1te.

Are you ok?

Oh, and we didn't get £60m for Delap, because there was a clause for £30m.
Why oh why didn't Chelsea just give us a packet of Cheeto's?

Ah ok, fair enough re: 2nd paragraph.

Not sure you have understood my position. I'm not defending the article, I am literally saying the vitriol should be aimed at the article. I would assume his value has gone up although I have a nagging worry about the value of players in the Championship. Nothing to do with my point though.

I have understood it. When people re-post utter nonsense they get this reaction. It's very simple.

We're going around in circles though so I won't keep commenting.

Nobody had a pop at the OP until they started making snippy comments in response. They then kept doubling down on the info in a very poor article. I'm not really sure what you're taking issue with here.

I don't think that's true. I can only see one snippy response before the pile on which was "Did you read it?" which was in direct response to the pop "Have you actually read it?"

I think you are being overly optimistic, there are plenty on here who could go higher than this, in fact some may take your response as a personal challenge to achieve just that.

There really is no pile on. The OP is very involved in the thread and doubles down on agreeing with the rubbish article many times. I think you just like to be contrary.

Surprised so many have engaged in this thread.

What is it they say? Never argue with an idiot as they’ll bring you down to their level and win on experience.


I would say that most of those who have engaged with the OP have probably "won" based on their significantly greater experience.

Yes the article is rubbish. The problem is that the OP, rather than saying that, they have been defending it and using it to back up a line of thinking (ie, OH market value has gone down). The article is rubbish and so point the OP tries to make from it.

Yeah he's framed it in a certain way as i said, but ultimately The Mirror put £19m as the potential fee. I mean if you look at the state of clickbait nowadays that is a tiny leap in comparison

Probably just because there was a pile-on I made a comment, its not some big freedom of speech crusade I'm on here lol. I would sincerely hope he doesn't leave for less than we paid for him.


People were hardly piling on. People were clearly pointing out what he had wrote was totally wrong and questioned if he actually read it?

Your reply is "The op is just stating what the Mirror have written." and people have answered you stating nowhere does it state Hutchinson will be sold for £19m.

Your defence of this is slightly weird. The OP is clearly digging his own hole, but you defending it is a bit odd.

Just as an example, O'Shea was valued as EUR7m on Transfermarkt when we bought him for EUR14m.

And Omari was valued at EUR 7M when we bought him.

Transfermarket.com is mostly fantasy valuations.

Oh, and if one was to believe transfermarket.com, we sold Delap for market value.

Really - anyone who uses that website as a credible market valuation source is truly misguided ...

Hold on. Earlier on the party line was “market value is what someone is willing to pay” and nobody was going to pay more than the release fee for Delap. So now we’re saying that transfermarkt was accurate after all? 🤔

How are you possibly this thick?

If you want to buy a house and you would pay £500k but it's on the market for £450k why would you pay £500k?

I can only think of one time when a club has paid more than the release fee and that was literally £1 over at £5,000,001.
