McCall: Player Prices Rising


By Aston

Town chief scout Steve McCall says transfer fees are going up again and stopping Town from signing a new striker.

McCall said: “You can watch as many players as you like but when you eventually get round to asking their clubs 'How much?' there is often no point going any further.

 

“We have to accept the budget that we must work within. We have money to spend but not an awful lot and it doesn't help that prices seem to be creeping up again.

 

“Clubs that can afford it are spending huge sums of money on players who, to be honest, we think are pretty average. Rising prices encourage other clubs to ask big fees and that can put other players out of our price range.”
