Value of our players - hypothetical

[Smirker]

I recently posted in one of the match threads that if Ollie could sort his finishing out, he'd be a £50m+ player. Some people pointe doubt that he already is worth that and it got me thinking.

If you were to place a value on our players, what do you think wiuod be reasonable amounts?

For me:

Martínez - £100m

Cash - £25m
Konsa - £20m
Mings - £20m
Torres - £30m
Carlos - £20m
Digne - £15m
Moreno - £30m
Chambers - £10m

McGinn - £35m
Douglas - £50m
Tielemens - £30m
Ramsey - £50m
Diaby - £60m
Buendia - £40m
Coutinho - £20m
Bailey - £20m
Traore - £15m
Dendoncker - £10m

Watkins - £35m
Duran - £15m

I think these are reasonable. Discuss, ridicule, tell me I'm clueless. Up to you

If you could buy Watkins for £35m we'd be getting calls from half the clubs in Europe.

Is this click-bait? 😉

Same goes for McGinn and Mings (When he's fit again)

I'm not saying we'd sell for that but it's about right imo. If he wasn't our player and we were bidding that's what I'd say would be a fair amount. Obviously the value is affected by how much the club wants to sell.

I don't think he's worth much more than that really.

So, Coutinho a year older is worth more now than when we bought him?!

Yes.

He was 'worth' more than what we bought him for. Barca were just in dire straits and needed him gone.

Why is Torres worth less than when we bought him? Bloody hell, that would be dream to get those at those prices. I’d add at least £200m on to whatever that adds up to.

I couldn't be arsed to check the fee. It was about 30m so I put that.

What would you value our players at?

[Percy McCarthy]

I think you need to check out what other players are going for and have a re-think. And you’ve missed Kamara (£100m).

Well when you look at some the untested kids being signed by Chelsea and Newcastle, or some of the dross transfer between clubs I think our players, playing at a high level and good age need to be priced accordingly. I’ll take a stab. Agree with some of yours. I’ve added in the English “tax” also which overvalues English players.

Martínez - £100m

Cash - £35m
Konsa - £40m
Mings - £30m
Torres - £50m
Carlos - £40m
Digne - £35m
Moreno - £30m
Chambers - £10m

McGinn - £50m
Douglas - £75m
Tielemens - £40m
Ramsey - £70m
Diaby - £60m
Buendia - £50m
Coutinho - £10m
Bailey - £40m
Traore - £15m
Dendoncker - £10m

Watkins - £65m
Duran - £25m

In a world where 20 year old Livramento goes to Newcastle from Southampton for close to £40 million (despite being injured for most of his time at Soton) Matty Cash must be worth at least £50 million.

Adjust all other values accordingly.

[Toronto Villa]

Yep. I probably undervalued a few of our lads. That lad from Wolves is going to Man City for about £50m having done fuck all compared to Ollie. So I probably need to add at least £10m to him  also.

[Percy McCarthy]

That’s two of you who’ve missed Kamara (£100m).

Maybe I’m overvaluing him if no-one’s noticing him play.

[Smirker]

I think you need to check out what other players are going for and have a re-think. And you’ve missed Kamara (£100m).

I'm not using other players as benchmarks. Plenty have gone for crazy money that was way too much for what they were getting, doesn't mean everyone else should be valued compared to that, just cos for example Maguire cost £80m doesn't mean it wasn't ridiculous and that Mings should be £60m. You could also use examples of shrewd buys to argue the other way for example Mac Allister to Liverpool for £35m.

Kamara - £40m
