he's bartering.

correct - and he's having to do that because there is no properly operating market via which an absolute price in relation to the market can be determined.

Just because an economist cannot assess a fixed market price does not mean that it is any less of a market.

from all concepts of economics, it does.

Is a wrongly defined concept of post-modernism the correctly defined concept of post-modernism? .... of course it's not.

You're doing nothing different here, and you're showing that you don't have a f**king clue what you're talking about by doing that.

I agree with Jump, this is besides the point of the thread just as it was when you began with it.

If I'm being besides the point, then you were no less in saying that the price is determined by the trends in sales of other players. There are no identifiable trends, as recognised by academic study of football transfers by economists.

Please do keep displaying your gross ignorance. The more you do, the more you prove yourself a fraud.

Real's bid for Ruud van Nistelrooy has gone tits so they are getting Adebayor on loan instead.

well, if the lazy git can't motivate himself to play at a consistent level for Real, then there's really no hope for him. I'd say it's his last chance to be thought of as a footballer of the highest levels.

Any Forest fans on here coming down to the Boleyn?

All 5,650 tickets have gone - fair play (even if they were cheap).

[ampersand]

the guys 34 year old. and his record speaks for itself if you wanna look up. for some of the biggest clubs in europe.

think that's a bit harsh.

[eFestivals]

aah right. i did wonder, thought neil was out of touch for a bit there.

PMSL - yep, I was talking about Adeybayor, and not Ruud. There's lots of things people might say about Ruud, but lazy isn't one I've ever heard as far as I can remember.

yeah i thought he was really going to come into his own for man city but seemed to all go wrong. can't really see him being seen as a top striker now.

He's a talent, there's no doubt about it - but consistency has always been a problem. Like you, I thought he might have fired into life at City, but he seems to have gone the other way (tho what happened at the ACoN's can't have helped).

I can't really see him being a top striker now either, but I suspect that his time at Real will be his last chance to show whether he is or not.

Just seen that Sunderland made a late bid fort Babel, according to Sky.

I know that they're after a winger, but Babel? ... on paper he's very good, but his time in England has, I think, shown that English football isn't for him.

[ampersand]

aye, babels another one who i thought was showing some good signs at the start of his liverpool stint but has gone so far back as well!

i think a change of league would be the best for him.

and what's going on at middlesbrough? how key are the two players that they've just lost? and who's in to replace them? bring back cbc!

i didn't realise arsenal were playing the night.

can't really see past them winning unfortunately but should hopefully be a good watch. and a nervy one for folks wanting the upset.

Sky's coverage has been tired for years - it's needed a makeover, now is perfect opportunity.

Aye, so says my mate from Sky Sports.

is he like your mate the economist, or your mate the realist, or your mate who has a football club that has an association status that means it has a special structure unlike other clubs?

It's never been anything but tired. The much lauded super-special graphics they had when they launched added nothing at all to all the coverage from other broadcasters from the decades before it.

But it's starting to sound like plenty of people within Sky hated Gray with a vengeance, given how he's been dropped in the shit by insiders, to make the original comments public as well as the "new evidence of unacceptable and offensive behaviour" which has caused him to be sacked today.
