What's the average cost of a fee .... for our average player ?

[david in sweden]

.and who'll be the first to say ..all our players are ...Average Well it's a good question, but talk SPORT have come up with another set of stats......

 

revealing that ......the 10 or so clubs in /around... the bottom half of the table (that's 10-20) have - on average - fees of around £5 million or less.)

 

Saints and Everton in joint 8th place ...(apparantly) both have an average transfer cost of.... £7.3 million per player.

(not so surprising perhaps, but it highlights the huge gap in transfer budgets that the various clubs have to fight with) .

 

Those clubs above that... are fairly predictable, although Chelsea's average player costs only a mere £21.3 million

 

The average MU player (if there is such a thing)... costs £27.4 million .....(there we are, we got scre*ed again on the Scheiderlin deal)......

 

....but the club with the highest average transfer fees is Citeh at £28.3 average..but that's likely to go up - if they sign Messi or Ronaldo next year.

 

Oh ...Er last on the list .. Bournemouth....whose average transer fee is just .....£700K ....WOW..... those were the days.

Hardly anyone makes the actual fees available nowadays, there are a load of end of contract deals without fees, and there are all kinds of additional payments based on appearances and internationals as well, so it's not an exact science and there are probably a load of (wrong) assumptions in there too.

of course.

..but right or wrong they're the only published stats. I've seen. and not surprsingly there's a world of difference between the top end and bottom of the Prem.
