Rumoured to be signing for Notts Forrest for around £40million. Can anyone explain how a forward who scored one goal last season can possibly command such a fee. The English transfer market has gone completely mad.

Chelsea are making a healthy profit on him 🤷

buying an English player is like buying a house in London. Vastly inflated prices, but people still pay and the assets holds its value - because of the homegrown rules for EPL squads, English players command a premium vs. foreigners.
It`s another reason the English national team is going well - top clubs are incentivised to have English players in their first team squads.

It’s called the English tax and it’s getting worse every season. Look at Elliot Anderson for example. No way is anyone paying over £100M for him if he had chosen Scotland over England.

Re: Anderson, they actually would because he`s classed as English homegrown, and would be classed as such had he chosen to play for Scotland.

Chelsea also going to sell Jackson to Villa for £65m
That’s £110m in for two strikers they don’t want.

Not just English players. Savinho (now Savio), Marmoush and Jackson all gaining market value despite barely doing anything. It`s all just pretend money these days.

And we wonder why the gap between Scotland and others is growing.
Mental money.
25 goals in about 140 games. And I think 24 of those goals came in the Championship rather than the Premier league. Madness.

He scored 12 goals for Ipswich in the season when they were relegated from the Premier League - hence why Chelsea triggered the £30m release clause.
He was a promising youngster at Man City, so Ipswich likely agreed to a `relatively low` release clause to get the deal across the line.
The £40m is more like market value as opposed to the price Chelsea got him for. Could be argued that his price should have dropped after failing to fire last season but not performing at Chelsea is commonplace, so clubs tend to overlook that.

Liam Delap is probably a Celtic/Rangers level player, and would sell for no more than £8-10m. That fee is laughable.
