That’s actually great punditry

[@hmu05366]

Yer maw

[@hmu05366]

How on Earth is that great punditry? He doesn’t even say anything remotely interesting

[@Scallion_D]

It was bog standard.

[@RooneyGOAT]

Profound

[@c3vzn]

It is interesting. Value isn’t tied to the dollar amount, it’s relative to performance.
You can’t say you overpaid until you actually see the results. History doesn’t mean anything.

[@mukulupadhyay4656]

He predicted Hazard's real Madrid career way back.

[@A_friendwithoutbenefits]

Rafa was good enough at football as a child to consider becoming a footballer, but he chose tennis.
His uncle Miguel Ángel Nadal played for Barcelona and the Spain national team.
When Spain won the football World Cup in 2010 Nadal was the only non-footballer to be invited into the locker room to celebrate with the national football team.

Looked like the question was a bit unexpected, but good answer to be fair!

[@samsmith7912]

That makes perfect sense. I actually reckon this is a great take from Nadal and a great way to look at any transfer.
It’s like if you sign someone for cheap and they’re bad then they were a cheap player but if they play unbelievable they’re a bargain. Rafa knows 🧠

[@Scallion_D]

Cheers for that Clive.

[@ee-pd6oq]

Actually the opposite of what he said lad, he said if you sign someone for cheap (not as cheap back then but still) and they play bad, then it is a lot of money, but if you spend loads and they perform very well, it isnt as much because it is worth it

[@Kojo_995]

Perfect answer

[@chirantanmahanti2627]

"well you know if the sun rises in the east it rises in the east and if it doesnt then you know.... it doesnt"

[@rishabhaniket1952]

Basically talking about ROI. Nadal has always been very sensible.

[@Pearl.M1020]

RAFA SO CUTTTEE!

[@TheSupplementWarehouseLondon]

Great pundit

[@alexmeechan9701]

I love that man so much

[@anissabeer4424]

But what a legend he turned out to be

[@cps8976]

Still better than jamie carregar and that joker micah richards

[@theiconicaprojecttheiconic1892]

😂

[@teelwolf]

It's hard for him to articulate it in english as it's not his native language - but "expensive" is a relative term and therefore largely meaningless. Value-for-money is what matters and time will prove that. £80m for Cristiano was not expensive, but £50m for a bad player is expensive, even though it's less. That's what Nadal is saying.

[@dragndorf9]

he used some extra words but i think he still made his point quite well.

[@Mohamid22]

First

[@hmu05366]

What a pointless and un insightful thing to say

[@Ben-zj9ez]

yer maw

[@Sillycatgod]

try learning Spanish and you’d actually understand the nuances of his comment
