Interesting stat tbh.
Only counting goals in top divisions:
Eto'o (until and incl. 03-04 season)
173 games
70 goals
0,40 per game
Villa (until and incl. 03-04 season)
46 games
21 goals
0,46 per game
Lautaro
127 games
52 goals
0,41 per game
Villa cost Valencia 12M in 2005, Eto'o cost Barcelona 27M in 2004. No idea how much that'd be worth today.
You can't count Lautaro's numbers from Argentina...
About the price, Etoo was 27m and Ronaldinho was around 30-33m that summer.
Ronaldinho was already a world cup winner.
World record back then was around 66m for Figo and Zidane.
Figo back then was like Neymar today, so around 220m.
If 66m for Figo was like 200-222m for Neymar today, then Ronaldinho was roughly a 100-110m guy and Etoo was 90-100m guy in today's market.
For example, Etoo's price was double than the price of Cr7 to Man Utd.
When we signed Etoo, Deco was 26 and CL winner and his price was 20m.
Let's say that Deco was a 70m signing.
Guily was a Cl finalist, aged 27.
He was around 30m today.
Edmilson 27 years, around 25-30m.
