''A good PL player will attract a lot of interest at £8m''. That applies to them all doesn't it? | |

I see what you mean. I haven’t actually brought any PL players up, just replied to your examples. But yes, a good PL player available for £8m will attract a lot of interest. A player who has not yet become a good PL player may not (although all your examples were sold for more). A player with baggage (Shelvey) may not. Doesn’t mean they won’t attract a lot of interest at that price in the future. Back to Sam Clucas. You have admitted that you don’t know if he is a good PL player because you haven’t seen him enough to judge. My opinion is that he is average at best and I think I have seen enough of him to judge, although I will admit he was in a poor team and often not in his best position. I think he has the potential to be, he showed it in flashes but nowhere near enough. I also think that if he was already a good PL player, someone would have signed him, we don’t appear to be asking for a big transfer fee. | | | |

Clucas has baggage in the sense he has been relegated twice. There are plenty of good PL players that are available for the 8m-10m mark that don't attract reems of interest. Leroy Fer and Fede Fernandez no doubt would be two others that come under that. Nothing to admit, it was simply an answer to a question. By 'good' it means I would like him in our team, it is not a comparison to Premier League at all as they are all different and each one has a tonne of different variables, I don't subscribe to the fact there is a ''PL standard'' bar, if you play well there then you play well there. Clucas played well for Hull but was in a bad team so hard to scope, I also think he played fairly well for us, but we were bad. So obviously I don't agree with your assessment that if he was already a good PL player then someone would have signed him. | |
