There have been numerous posts in different threads in the past where Alfredo's transfer value is discussed and debated.     In an attempt to put his worth in perspective, 21 year old Daniel James has been sold to Man Utd for £15 million having played only 39 games (6 goals) with Championship club, Swansea City.     Alfredo (age 22) has played 178 games for teams in the top football tier of three countries and scored 100 goals.

man utd have grossly overpaid for this lad  they seem to do this all the time  it appears there is no one at that club who can negotiate a fee  the fee being proposed for the crystal palace rb is crazy as well

We can only really compare Morelos with similar players that have left Scotland recently. And the only 1 is dembele. Lyon really wanted him so paid over the odds imo. 

Its all down to how much a prospective buyer is willing to pay.  If there’s only 1 club in for him then he’ll go for the minimum negotiating fee that the club set. The my might have set negotiations at 20m for all we know.   

There might not even be any genuine interest in the lad but we’ll find out soon enough

A winger who plays in the 2nd tier of English football.   I am talking about transfer values in general and comparing two players' valuations.   

Comparing two players who play in different positions (yet still using goals to game ratio as a reference point) and who play in two completely different leagues where it's widely known that there's a huge difference in what the players are valued at in each of those leagues.

Bonkers comparison.

I don't think he's going anywhere. And we need to keep hold of that current bunch of players if we are to win the league. If he does go then mitrovic wud be someone off the top of my head who would do a good job...its that wages is the big problem in that kind of deal.

English players are over rated as clubs need them for their squads for domestic and european games to meet quotas.

He is not eligible for a work permit in England so all this talk of EPL bids is nonsense. He will be here next season unless we don’t make the group stages and then he will go to the continent for an undisclosed fee.

It’s on the high side but his stats are impressive, especially for his age.

He had the most clearances, most tackles won, highest tackle success rate, most take on’s completed and most interceptions of all the full backs in the league last season.

The fee seems high but teams pay for potential now as much as they pat for the finished article and he will prove to be worth the money if he goes there and becomes their first choice right back for the next 6-8 years.
