No, the senior appearances are irrelevant. Man Utd paid £20m+ for Amad Diallo with less starts for Atalanta than Kellyman. Countless Brazilians are hoovered up each by the elite for even more money. They’re all bought for their potential.
Why are people basing his value on the amount of starts he’s had? We’ve sold him for that price because of his potential, not how many games he’s played for us.
That wasn’t why they got a points deduction, it’s what started the investigation.
They along with 10 other clubs were acquitted of inflating player prices. Juve got a points deduction because that investigation opened a whole can of worms after they’d been found to be falsifying financial records.
A player they wanted rid of and who wanted to leave for his career vs one of our best academy players were being forced to sell because of PSR. Not really the same.
If someone wanted to buy Jamie Donley from Spurs, one of their brightest academy prospects. Similar age and appearance to Kellyman. Do you think Levy would sell for a couple million?
Lots of salty Spurs and Arsenal fans online saying his value is inflated and what we’re doing is akin to money laundering.
Is £19m to high a valuation for Kellyman? How much would Spurs or Arsenal fans be willing to part with one of their top academy talents?
We’ve basically replaced Tim and Kellyman, with Barrenechea and Iling-Junior.
Smart business from Monchi, signed those players replacements in the squad as part of the Luiz deal without spending anything. It means we don’t need to replace them and Luiz, only Luiz needs replaced.
