The media sets a narrative. Clueless if you think not. They take a strong stance either side of an issue and that creates talking points. You are very simple if you think that doesn't happen. In this particular case I don’t think Crouch is worth 800k people have spoken about. But he’s a good mid who is a free agent. Teams pay slightly overs to get them out of a club and not cost them draft comp. I think it will be 650-750k. Depending on the team. And the deal will most likely be 4 maybe 5. That certainly puts them close to first rd compo. The 5th yr and the slight overs will decide that. But if a club can afford it and are in the window I say go for it. Doesn’t cost you anything in the draft and you can still get youth in. I think I’m a side where he’s the 2-3 best mid that’s a strong middle line and that’s where big games are won. We shall wait and see who takes the punt, I’m sure the next 3 weeks of finals will have a say in that.
Poster were arguing that the narrative was created in order to drive down a players value so the club they support would pick them up cheaply.
