I hold both Kane and Ronaldo, but of the two, Ronaldo is the bigger risk at circa £9.

Ronaldo is delivering better dividend returns at the moment, but how much longer for? He’s the present, but Kane is the future, which is why Kane justifies a similar future price.

Plus of course Kane is young enough to recover if he broke his leg tomorrow and was out for a year. Ronaldo would be finished / China bound.

Age and potential has a major bearing on future price, just look at the likes of Foden for example who costs far more than his current dividend return justifies.

I suspect that the constant stream of cheap IPOs has played its part in unsettling the middle to top part of the market.

Hopefully the build up to the new season (after the World Cup) will not be plagued with yet more IPOs. If so, I think i’ll probably pull my investment out of the index soon after.

From a selfish point of view, I hope so!

Lots of the big names at the top of the index have been relatively flat for a while now, possibly because people have been directing money into the World Cup IPOs. But unless the WC players play in a top five league or have transfer speculation on the horizon, i’m not sure what value they hold post WC. Presumably nothing.

Latest rumours suggest Man Utd could be in for him with a £100m bid.

Having bought him previously for £5.80, sold for £7.50 and then bought back when he fell to £5.70, I hope the rumours turn out to be true!

No, it’s 2pm.

True, plus what happens if Hazard goes to Real this Summer and Ronaldo stays?

Will Bale hang around and fight for his place in the team? Maybe, maybe not.

With no World Cup, it will be a long Summer for Bale sitting around and thinking.

It’s by no means certain that he’ll stay at Real.

More likely now that Zidane is gone, but still not guaranteed.

Just shows how classy Messi is as a footballer. He had a very poor match, but still delivers a good PB score, probably due to the number of defenders he beat in two, three or four on ones.

There is a Football Index News website you know?

It’s embarrassing that they can’t even report their own news on their own website.

He’s a great player who is carrying an average Portugal team.

But every year he throws a strop about his Real Madrid contract and every year the club pander to him and give him more money. At some point he’ll push Real too far, they’ll kick him out and replace him with a younger model. I doubt it’ll happen this Summer, so there’s still money to be made via his huge dividend potential next season.

Perhaps Summer 2019 will be when Real replace him with Neymar.
