Vastly overrated and hyped up by a compliant media beyond belief
His record in Europe is poor very poor for a player of his so called standard , compare it to Morelos’s and it’s woeful and we all know how much they rate Alfredo (not)
Scoring goals ( and a lot of them penalties) in Scottish football doesn’t make you worth millions
Again banging in penalties for the French under 21’s or scoring against some obscure other under 21’s team doesn’t make you worth millions
There has never been any stats to back up this £30 or £40 million valuation he had put on him hence the reason not a single bid had ever been made for him
He enters the last year of his contract next season so why would anyone pay £15 million for a player who can sign a pre contract in 9 months or so
The Tims are desperate for cash this is just paper talk by a friendly journalist
Remember it was only a matter of months ago Nitcham was touted by the usual suspects as a £15 rated player when he couldn’t get a regular first team game , look how that’s turned out
On another note , when Celtic were lording it over Scottish football and flopping badly in Europe against second rate teams over the past 5 years the press were never short of a headline that X player was worth £20 million Y player was worth £25 the list was endless
Funnily enough this Rangers team who are not only doing it in Scotland but also remain undefeated in Europe with some fantastic performances and results have yet to get a single headline that any of our players are worth “ funny money “
I wonder why that is eh !
