1977 Ram Raider Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 With some of the crazy transfer fees going around these days it got me thinking. The likes of Sturridge, Wanchope, Eranio, Baiano etc, what would these boys fetch in today's market, and which player do you think would be most expensive.

ramsbottom Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Well Mark Wright is the player everyone wants John Stones to be, so one that rationale, he'd be at least £30m Igor would be £20m easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eatonram Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Well Toddy was a British record cash signing in 1971 at £170k, Martin Peters supposedly higher at £120k plus Jimmy Greaves valued at £80k. So Raheem Sterling (WTF) I mean really?? Colin Todd wouldn't even have bothered to put him in his back pocket, he would simply keep taking the ball off him for the fun of it, so by that measure, Colin Todd at £10m more than whatever City paid for Sterling.

But that doesn't mean you have to be blinkered to all aspects of his life. The practice of bungs was more commonplace back then and the only reason he wasn't charged with his part in it was due to his ill health after leaving the game. He was also allowed to pay back 600,000 in back payments to the inland revenue. I'm very sorry if the post offended you, it wasn't meant to and wasn't meant as a slur. A great manager without a doubt but like all of us not without some faults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd at 23 years of age, with several years experience but yet to play for England and joining from a recently relegated club would probably be about £12-15m in the current market. Even if that's a conservative guess it shows the value of footballers has grown considerably faster than inflation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a bit of analysis based on relative season ticket prices and reached a very similar number. For info I found a site that suggested a season ticket in 1970 -71 was about 10 quid whereas now they're 350 odd? I think the distortion must be the TV money which would have been derisory in toddys day. All this really proves is how "trickle up" economics works. Chuck more money into a system and unsurprisingly the main men line up to take more out in direct proportion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gets what you pay for Toilets were still pretty much like that down the dingly dell until the local team moved to St Marys. Too true that the experience has changed out of all recognition in the decades I've been going. Sounds similar for you tho I'm guessing that I have just a couple of years on you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
