🚨🎙️ Jamie Carragher on West Ham valuing Mateus Fernandes at more than £85m:
“Let’s be straight with it – West Ham have been relegated, they’re heading straight down to the Championship, and they’re still out here asking for over £85 million for Mateus Fernandes? You’ve got to laugh, haven’t you?
That would be their biggest sale in club history by some distance, but it’s a young lad with limited top-flight experience and no major trophies on the CV. A relegated side pricing him like a world-beater? It’s absolute madness.
He’s got talent, fair play, but this is what’s ruining the transfer market these days. Clubs going down demanding Premier League superstar money for players who are still raw and developing – it’s beyond a joke.
Potential is all well and good, but £85 million should be for lads who’ve proven themselves week in, week out at the very highest level, not for someone from a team that’s just been dumped out of the Premier League.“
