Buy or Sell: The January Dilemma

Make informed decisions based on real data this January  

For football clubs the January transfer window brings huge uncertainty, faced with the dilemma of whether to invest in playing personnel or reject the advances of other clubs for their marquee players. In both football and rugby we have already seen international players switch clubs or sign pre-contract agreements to move in the summer break. These decisions can ultimately decide if a club survives relegation or perhaps can gain European qualification. This means clubs need to know the true worth of the player in question so they can act accordingly.

So why are such crucial decisions being made without the adequate information?
