£25m Zaza ? Highly authoritative site says no way

|

zaza Quite how West Ham and Juventus came to agree a fee of approaching £25 million for Simone Zaza should he join the Irons permanently is a total mystery and non starter according to one highly authorative source.

Before reading on please realise this transfer won’t happen but on a quiet Sunday after a viciously disappointing Saturday evening, we decided to check out the ‘go to’ website on these issues

There can’t be a single person in the world who believes that such a price could be remotely within the realms of any sort of reality.

And they are all right according to transfermarkt.com – a must visit site when discovering the ‘true worth of the world’s footballers’ or something reasonably close to it.

It is also packed with info on those coming out of contract across the world, their values and much  more including, goals scored, the player’s history, agent etc..

In the case of Mr Zaza the site immediately shattered this £25 million price tag claiming that when his value last changed in July he was worth a humble £12.75 million and his highest ever which is precisely the same.

But even at half the price we’re being told is what the Hammers agreed he looks well and truly over-priced.

We recommend the site to you all if you want the nitty gritty on players and their values etc.
