That's the difference. Check the balance sheet at Ibrox. I have. 😂😂😂 There’s a decent chance they’ll start the season with a 36 year old loanee as their main striker. They do have 107 wingers on the books though. 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last financial report shows operating losses of £13.4m (year end to June 2018), with losses of £6.6m the previous year. Last season's Europa League run would've improved that and I think Rangers' transfer policy has got better (better players on, what I'd think to be, lower wages), but I'm not sure you can say they've got the perfect business model.

macy37 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 £20m for McBurnie. The game in England is mad. Celtic should be holding out for £40m for KT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also, always, a premium paid for English players by English sides to help with European squad rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that but when VVD was at southampton and even celtic he was a better player than Maguire. Its only been 18 months since VVD moved from Southampton, would prices inflate that quickly? This is down to him being english and nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s stepped up a level at Liverpool, he’s played in 2 European cup finals in those 18 months. I think his value will have inflated that much. Plus there’s a premium on Harry Maguire as he’s English, there’s also the problem that everyone has so much money, nobody needs to sell.

I meant would the price of a half decent centre half like maguire inflate that quickly, I wasn't referring to VVD's price. I agree he is worth more now. What I am trying to put across is Maguire is not as good as VVD when he was at southampton. anyone who watched VVD knew that guy was going places, he was simply too good for the scottish league and a club like southampton, can you say the same about Maguire?

Definitely not. Over rated because he’s english and price inflated because he’s english, it’s s double dunt. Not to mention they’ve lost the plot down there. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maguire is priced at the level he is because Leicester don't want or need to sell him. They have put a ridiculous price on his head to try and put clubs off buying him, but knowing if they get that for him they'll be able to replace him. When VVD went to Liverpool I don't think anyone though he was worth what was paid for him either. None of these players are "worth" what clubs are playing for them it's just that many of these clubs just have too much money now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both saying it was resulting in prices being pushed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maguire has benefited from Englands successful world cup campain and the english media. Time will tell but I don't see him stepping up in the same way VVD has.
