worth £7.5m more than James McAtee from Man City,
worth £11.5m more than Geovanni Leoni, Liverpool's highly rated new Italian defender, or
worth £12.5m more than Ben Doak from Liverpool?
I think we've done really well with the fee, considering how much some other players are going for this Summer. [Post edited 16 Aug 0:21]

Not sure exactly what you’re judging as output, but McAtee has 6 PL goals and 3 assists compared to 3/2 for Hutchinson |  |

You know that transfers aren't solely based upon vibes, but things like contract length, salary, similar offer in the market, nationality, data. [Post edited 16 Aug 0:42]

The fee is about right as explained 10000 times on other threads.
Doak has made 24 championship appearances for Boro and 3 brief PL appearances for Liverpool. Are you going to suggest on that sample size he’s worth the same or more after Omari’s 2024 in the champ, encouraging performances in a terrible PL team and being one of the best players for the European U23 champs this summer?
Get back to me when you see his next transfer fee!
The release clause was set about right as well to protect us on after one season and relegation.
It’s over, let’s move on. [Post edited 16 Aug 5:01]

There are other clauses, a buy back clause for example, that change the value of that deal to more than the initial fee. So the deal for McAtee is not directly comparable to that of Omari | |

Until such time someone pays more for those players, yes. It’s very subjective. |  |

I agree with the above and in addition when I’ve been thinking about the Omari versus others this has also entered my thinking.
The fee has to be right in terms of the selling club’s valuation of the profit that they want to make. So as far as I understand it both Doak and McAtee are Liverpool and Man City youth team players respectively (I standby to be corrected if that is wrong). So in both of these cases the entire fee is pure profit for Liverpool & City so a big chunk of money into those clubs and great for PSR.
For us what would have been the point in selling Omari for £25m when we bought him for £22m and we have to give Chelsea 25% of the profit in any sale. There simply wouldn’t be any incentive for Town to sell and so if a club wants to buy Omari they have to reach a fee whereby the amount of profit that Town will make in the deal is worth it compared to the loss to the team of losing that player. Therefore I think this will at least have a partial influence on any thought process.
It’s along these lines why I can’t understand it if Southampton completely price Dibbling out of a move. If Dibbling refuses to play which isn’t good for the team but Southampton won’t sell because they say want £40m-£50m that seems like greed because if they sell for anywhere between £20m-£40m all of that income is pure profit because he’s a Southampton youth team player and that’s a huge amount of income to help reinvest in their team because they’d have more profit regardless of whether say the fee they get is less than for Omari.
Anyway it’s a huge fee for our club plus his performances and goals helped take us to the PL so I’m grateful that it happened and onwards and upwards for Town and fingers crossed that starts on Sunday! |  | | |

That's not how transfers work. Someone is worth what someone else is willing to pay. |  |

That is of course true, but clubs regularly cite fees paid for other players when laying out their expectations.
"That's the market" is a typical response to nonsensical transfer fees.
Personally I feel it has been out of control since Trevor Francis went £1m & long for a return to the days when a few balls & a set of tracksuits were thrown in to get a deal over the line. | | | |

Clubs rarely cite other transfer fees, they make vague references to market prices, and then justify outliers with equally vague terms like potential etc.
It’s the fans and the media that tend to compare deals and prices.
Basically the transfer market has very little real regulation, so prices swing all over the place. Beyond transfer windows and some loose FFP rules, there’s nothing stopping clubs paying whatever they want, which means values are driven by hype, demand, and who’s got the deepest pockets. That’s why one player can go for peanuts while another of similar ability costs a fortune. |  | | |

That's the craziness of football transfers.
Chelsea paid £40m for Cole Palmer, which is only £2.5m more than Omari.
But it's what a club will pay, that is what counts. Ashton has made it clear for ages its about buying talent with the aim of increasing their value. No club will ever get every transfer correct, but overall that approach is working and value is increasing. |  | | |
