Anyone ITK - I presume we made a decent profit?
Allegedly $4m with Rotherham getting 15%Anyone ITK - I presume we made a decent profit?
So if we paid 1mill then we’ve made about a mill and a half profit then taking into account exchange rates and Rotherham’s 15%. Bit disappointing reallyAllegedly $4m with Rotherham getting 15%
$4m would be incredibly good if true. Whatever the fee is, it will go down as a complete profit in this year’s books, I believe. Amazing business for a very limited player.So if we paid 1mill then we’ve made about a mill and a half profit then taking into account exchange rates and Rotherham’s 15%. Bit disappointing really
Although I agree with the sentiment of what you're saying, who says a players peak is his 27th birthday and is it only on that day? Players peak at different ages, no two players are the same. Let alone all players.Crooks is 30 - we bought him just after his peak in August 2021. (Peak been a players 27th birthday)
To make a profit on him and get 23 goals after his peak age is very good going for a midfielder.
he plays more like a 5 foot 9 stone fluffy attacking midfielder than the giant he is tbf.A limited player yes, but we look far less likely to score in games without his presence and playing 5ft tall 9 stone fluffy attacking midfielders instead
I base it on an average player and there are lots of stats to show players in general decline with age after a point around 27 for outfield players. There are some exceptions, I don't think Crooks is a major exception - it seemed say a bit slower this season then in late 2021.Although I agree with the sentiment of what you're saying, who says a players peak is his 27th birthday and is it only on that day?
