    Watford are interested in Olympiacos right-back Omar Elabdellaoui, 25. The Norway captain is out of contract next summer

    While you lot were laughing at the West Ham 999 thing, my sides were splitting at the reports of both Spurs and Arsenal looking at Richarlison for £25m. I think if a bigger Premier League club comes to buy a player from a smaller club (especially a young player) there’s a minimum that they need to expect to have to pay. If you think he’s good enough for you, you need to realise the sums involved these days. I would say in today’s market they need to be looking at £40-50m. We unearthed the gem, if you want him, you’ll have to pay proper money, and of course, let’s hope he stays and develops with us for a couple of years anyway. Dele Alli for £25m, Spurs? Didn’t think so...

    His value is way up in the air, but just how much does it reflect on Silva?

    £25 million has become £30 to £35 million, even more, today. It sounds like pre war inflation in Germany!!

    £25m would be laughable for one of the top young talents in the Prem. Double it and the Gino may consider. I think he is on a 5-year contract so he isn't going anywhere soon, unless it's a ridiculous offer. With China apparently interested too, we could probably demand a lot more than £50m from them too....

    Maybe soon the 'big' clubs will see we aren't a pushover over any more

    70 + with add ons if it was at the end of the season - then we bring in another young gun from Spain to take his place!

    Hopefully this doesn't happen for 2 years or more.

    I thought that the Chinese were supposed to be bringing in some sort of new regulations, due to concerns that clubs were overspending, but I can't remember what they were.

    I think it was along the lines that whatever fee was paid for a player an equal amount of tax would have to be paid to the government. It was thought that this would halve the size of fees. It was something like that.

    It wasn't really a tax, but an equivalent amount to the Chinese Football Development Fund - which to me makes perfect sense. As did the other rule they introduced at the same time on overseas players in starting line-ups - the quota of domestic players under the age of 23 that must be in the starting lineup has to equal to the number of foreign players starting.
