So, Jason more than 50 times the player Andre is? 08:34 - Mar 28 with 993 views

Ever wondered what #THFC's biggest signings would cost in the year 2022, adjusted for inflation?

Either way, here is a look at a reality in which Jason Dozzell cost more than Ndombele, Chris Perry cost more than Son, and Kevin Scott cost more than Llorishttps://t.co/XKiXxzV1iF

I can’t see all of the article so I can’t see that their maths but there’s no way JD was transferred for a now equivalent of £54 million.

He left in 1993 for £2 million which according to the Bank of England inflation calculator is around £4.5 million. As I say, I can’t see all of the article so they may well be right.

I can just about see a bit saying:

To paint a more accurate picture of how transfer fees have changed over time, and therefore what players such as Alan Shearer, Roy Keane, and, yes, Dozzell would cost now, The Athletic has called upon football finance expert Kieran Maguire and his colleague Jason Laws at the University of Liverpool. They have developed a calculator which adjusts for increases in football inflation, based on revenue increases over time.

It’s based on football inflation rather than BoE inflation, surely?

Not saying that the sums are necessarily correct but it’s pretty obvious that inflation in football is outstripping your figures below, you only need to look at the progression of the world record fee to see that, or the normalisation of £20m+ fees that would have been groundbreaking in the early 90’s

I suppose inflation and football inflation are different things but it’s ridiculous to compare Dozzell to
Ndombele (even indirectly) given the latter had I think been playing the Champions League and for France prior to signing for Spurs!
