Haha, a lot cheaper than Hazard? Whatever that journalist smoked, I want some of it. Levys fax machine would be more expensive than Hazard. And Real Madrid will problably need one if they want De Gea, considering what happened last time. They can buy it and give it to Man United as a gift.

I don't think so.
But then, I feel Alli would probably command a higher transfer fee.
Pretty different players really, IMO.
Odd one.
I wouldn't be surprised to see 75M + for Alli. Whereas I'd reckon 60M + for Hazard.
Not that that means anything at all.
Pretty sure Alli scores more goals though.

Anywhere bar Madrid. Madrid don't buy potential

Is that why they paid €60m for a 16-year old brazilian and are very strongly linked to an 18-year old for fees over €100m?
That they have left to develop for 3 years, not develop themselves. Mbappe is ready now

Fucking hell, you're on a mission to prove you don't know what you're talking about, aren't you?
Oh right so they buy young potential and make them better players do they? I'm not talking about age, I'm talking about ability. They would pay more for Hazard than they would for Dele

It depends on that club but we would want a bigger fee for alli than hazard.

As @fecka has pointed out, they literally just paid €60m for potential. They wouldn't be able to sign Dele for less than they could Hazard. You're talking bollocks, as always.

I suppose it's my Spurs Rose tinted glasses view but for me Hazard isn't a player I get that excited about, ok what I'm about to say next will be shot down. I personally prefer Kane Alli Eriksen even De Brunyne over Hazard.

Of course age and potential are important factors. If you have player x who is 21 years old and very talented vs player y who is 28 years old and slightly better than the younger player x, you will pay more for the younger player. No doubt about it. So yes, saying that Alli will cost signigicant less money than Hazard is just wrong. Also, how the club is run is also important. Levy got 90m GBP for Bale. This means that Bale must be better than Ronaldo, because he was more expensive. With the logic that some people use, this has to be true.
