Here's the most expensive players in the World, sorted for positions.
Who has justified the price tag? Who hasn't? Is it too early to say with some of them?
I'd say Buffon, Alves, Ronaldo and Neymar have justified their price.
Luiz has redeemed himself this season too, if he can keep his current form going into next year his price is fair enough too, going by today's standards.
Bale and Jajames have both had their moments, and I feel Bale would have had much greater time in Real Madrid if it wasn't for the injuries. The verdict is still out on Bale, but Jajames has not lived up to the price tag, especially not when you see how well Real Madrid play without him.
Higuain was super expensive, in part because Napoli knew Juve had just received the Pogba money. He'll win you the league, but disappear in the big CL games. They could probably have gotten another striker for 50% of his price that would have "won" them the league too. So not a good buy, imo.
Obviously Pogba was way overpriced but he still has time to develop and somewhat justify the tag. Too early to tell.
Pebbles and Shaw are JUST tier signings.
Lucas Gonzalez
Napoli only finished 5 points behind Juve, Higuain decides who wins the sere A
Dominic Smith
>James
Based
Carson Lewis
>implying neymar was only 75m£
Christian Lee
>Shaw
Christian Howard
Ronaldo and Buffon are the only players there actually worth the ridiculous transfer fees in modern football.
Gabriel Phillips
shaw looked good up the left when he first came on but then his leg got blasted off and he hasn't recovered
Cameron Moore
>Shaw ayy
Thomas Davis
CR7 >>Alves>Neymar(He cost more tho)>Buffon > James=Pogba=Bale>who are they?
Brody Rivera
>Shaw >Stones
Ayden Gonzalez
>James=Pogba=Bale lol. even if you dont consider the fact that bale was injured a lot he contributed more in his first season to his teams succes than james or pogba have in their entire careers.
id also switch neymar and buffon. neymar has been good for barca but not as good and not for as long as buffon has been for juve
Lucas James
Shaw is still the most expensive LB in history holy fucking shit
Christopher Brooks
Dani Alves is free
Brandon Martin
what a fucking shit infograph
does BR stand for Bleacher Report?
Hey bleacher report, if you're reading this. Go fuck yourself and do some research you dumb mother fucking cunts.
Xavier Miller
Should include the years of the transfers too. Alves was 9 years ago. Would easily be 50+ today
Nathaniel Baker
dani alves?
bale was great for a while too. and they'll sell him for double the price to manure
Gabriel Davis
>Higuain Even with these players I am not sure if they can win anything.
Connor Lopez
and Dani Alves obviously
Neymar not bad considering the prices of other players
Adrian Nelson
Walker is about to replace Alves. Van Dijk for Luiz. Bertrand/Rose for Shaq M'bappe for Neymar Eriksen for James
Lucas Adams
Alright Alves too.
Bale is a top class player, but his and others' fees should be representative of the very select few world greats which they aren't.
Landon Barnes
>Pogba Manchester hasn't been this btfo since that Ariana Grande concert
Levi Perry
Neymar cost at least 3x that
Henry White
>89m for the twerking tielemans >31m for a handful of injuries >47m for james granite >63m for the baby-faced cr7
Aaron Bell
>Premier league babbies Lol
Nathaniel Howard
James' price would be justified if Zidane wasn't such a faggot
Justin Robinson
jajames isnt better than anyone is the current madrid starting XI
Colton Hall
>who is isco
Eli Nguyen
The figure doesn't take into account what they paid his dad
Kayden Green
I'd say they were all worth it except James and the English lads
Bale was worth the price at the time, he just got fucked up by injuries
How much was Suarez? he was a better transfer for Barcelona than Neymar anyway
Aiden Sullivan
>Stones >Shaw >Higuain
What were they thinking?
Jose Lopez
jon (worst than rob holding) stones
Aaron Smith
>City giving a shit what they spend
Shaw was overpriced but genuinely looked the real deal at Soton. I will never understand Higuain as a footballer overall.
Ryan Nelson
>Paying world record amounts in a league you can walk with the B team
It's like APOEL spending £30m on a player. Halal Madrid are pure cancer.
Ryan Diaz
it's all marketing. look at beckham, didn't fit their style of football and countless players were better in his position but they leapt at the chance to sign him
Juan White
Who will get in the "most expensive by position XI" after this summer?
Michael Hill
Some Monaco fullback
Jaxon Russell
Mendy, Van Dujk, Lukaku, Walker In a couple years it will be the PL XI
Aiden Sanders
James is a fucking FAIL
Evan Adams
Napoli scored more and made more points this season than the last one (setting theyr all time record for both)
Kevin Evans
Great deals - Buffon, Alves, Ronaldo Ok deals - Nemyar, Bale, fat striker Bad deals - James, Luiz, Pogba Terrible deals - Stones, Shaw
Aaron Fisher
I pretty much agree with everything you said.
Jaxon Young
What's your problem with it?
Elijah Kelly
Transfer fees aren't really an accurate way to measure talent. English players have inflated prices because of the homegrown rule, teams need to have at least 8 homegrown players on their squad so the top PL clubs try to make those 8 players as good as possible. It's why City paid so much money for Stones and Sterling and why Shaw is the most expensive LB in the world. And in Higuain's case, they simply spent that money because they wanted to weaken Napoli, their biggest threat in Serie A.
In other words, all their prices are "justified" since that's what price their selling club gave them.
Samuel Cook
This.
Except Pogba. That's an ok deal.
Noah Bailey
nothing just another american trying to feel validated for his hatred of bleacher report soccer coverage. they're shitty but there's literally nothing wrong with this.
Jacob Lopez
deserved tier >alves >ronaldo >neymar nerman was worth it considering now he'd cost 150m
undeserved tier >buffon been at the club for 400000 years, hasn't won shit since the serie a title became pointless, also that type of money in 1990-whatever is stupid >luiz >shaw >pebbles >memguain choker, would be better if he wasn't such a fatty
? tier >pogba who knows, he could be worth it in 3 years but for now he isn't >hames probably worth it but the bald african man wont let us find out >bayol good player but the only thing i remember him doing is that goal vs barcelona, also has lots of injuries
Wyatt Flores
>paying 89 million for a nigger
Jace Cooper
>hasn't won shit since the serie a title became pointless
can barely blame a goalkeeper for a team's lack of success in europe, particularly buffon who's been superb throughout
Lincoln Jones
>15 years of world class goalkeeping arent worth 40M that flag etc etc
Ethan Edwards
>THE FUCKING STATE OF OVERHYPED ENGLISH """"""""""""""TALENT""""""""""""""""""""
Brandon Gray
Buffon. Alves. Ronaldo Neymar (official price money not kickbacks to family).
The rest are memes.
Cooper Williams
>2 (two) young English lads Its coming home isnt it?
Charles Brooks
>No Messi
Nolan Jones
