does it take into account other clauses in the transfer fees? incentives if you will. keanes fee would rise if he scores certain amount of goals or something . . .

love the bias in everyones comments haha

I pointed out the error to http://www.transferleague.co.uk, but they never changed it. I gave supporting documented evidence but all to no avail.

Even Torres stated he cost 20.2mill and that the Garcia deal was a separate deal altogether. Benitez has also stated this.

I think that http://www.transferleague.co.uk may have a nice little agenda …. run by a ManU fan perchance!!!

There are very few differences between the Transfer league website and the various Liverpool websites. The main one is the cost of Torres, which the Transfer League has as £26.5m, with Garcia going the other way for £4m making a net £22.5m between the two. The Liverpool websites, and that Times article, reduce the net payment to £16.2m (£20.2m less the £4m). The £26.5m was as widely reported at the time, although journalists do tend to copy each other.

To just look at the cost of the current squad, even if it is correctly calculated, ignores a lot of factors, one being the turnover of squad needed to get there, especially if that turnover is at a loss, e.g. Keene.

The 11M Crouch transfer to Portsmouth would have been included in the “sold” column for 2008. You can’t also now net it from the 17-19M Liverpool will pay for Glen Johnson.
