You make it sound like buying an old player based on FIF calendar always bad move comparing buying younger player. Fact is even Candreva who is coming with big money at his age and accused as useless investment, making more contribution on his two season comparing with those 3 of young duds. Candreva maybe loss his 10 mil of his value but then he contributed for more than 30 goals for us in past two season, what is those youngster bring to table with their loss value?? Future resale value is overrated, whats the point having resale value when the player is becoming deadwood for us and so far non of youngster we bought having better value when we sold them again, mostly coming here then flop and we sell them with less money.
Player 25 or under we bought with more 20 mil in past 3 year and then flop
Kdog, Gabigol, Jomar, Dalbert, Vecino
None of them having better resale value, even if we got 25% from 80 mil kdog RC future sale is mostly we only get back our money and wasting our past 3 years. Fact is buying youngster with big money is always becoming disaster for us and we need an instant impact which is sometimes the mature player only can offer.
