I wasn't really questioning the respective values. It was more a question of Doyle being a well recognised and often talked about international striker with many plaudits in the press before he signed for us.
Fletcher on the other hand is not someone that I've heard much about and certainly not someone who seems to carry the same reputation or respect as Doyle. When Doyle himself said that he was looking forward to sum big name signings in the summer, I doubt he expected that Fletcher would be one of those big name signings, particularly for 7 million for a player with a lesser reputation. ________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Fri May 28 13:31:14 2010 Subject: RE: [NSWolves] Fletcher You work in finance Marcus – it’s called inflation. Paul understands it. A guy is worth 4m – we buy him for 6.5 and then sell him for 3.5. Surely you understand that! ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul Crowe Sent: Friday, 28 May 2010 1:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NSWolves] Fletcher Hello Marcus, >From the games I saw last season I would be happy with this signing. Looks a >classy footballer with the old style inside forward skills. Could complement >Doyle well. 7 million is okay in my opinion. Burnley purchased him for 3 million last season and he is now a proven goal scorer in the Prem. We paid 6.5 million for Doyle last season and would expect to get at least 10 million if we sold him now. So relatively speaking not a bad deal. Think Jez will structure the deal so that we pay 6 million or so upfront with the balance based on number of appearances, staying up next season etc. Cheers Paul.
