    Has anyone seen this about the 100 most valuable players?

    http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/38635387

    Snippet from the bottom:

    "West Ham midfielder Michail Antonio makes the list at 100, with a value of £31m."

    alderz , beats my ham and cheese ;lol

    Football has gone mad , and how can Pogba who is average imo be worth more than the 96m Man unt paid for him .. I meeen if you had a choice of that top 10 would
    you really pay 126m for pogba ;ok
  • MarkNobleLocalHeroMarkNobleLocalHero
    Football hasn't gone mad, well not over that pointless and meaningless exercise anyway. Who exactly is going to pay £216m for Neymar? NO ONE not even the Chinese (or the Daves)!
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    alderz - it also lists Bellerin as worth €70.3m/£62m, Otamendi € 63.1m/£55.5m...

    .....and Jon Stones is worth €48.9m/£43m. Jon Stones?!??!?!?

    Laugh, I nearly.........

    If you look at how they calculate the value, a big factor is how much they have cost in the past. Since Man City (allegedly) paid more than that for him, their algorithm has actually had him LOSE value. ;lol

    That means Stones has dropped in value by £7m! Pretty much the only one!

    Edit: Mrs Grey's too quick for me.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Indeed, minus £4.5m in five months, that's a devaluation of 900k per month.

    I'd have thought it would have been more than that......

    Mrs G, all they are doing is following the "Levy" way of negotiating transfers. He has even made a profit on the cranes they bought to build their new stadium. ;whistle
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Well Fortune, I've heard that Real Madrid are interested ;biggrin
  • brookingsironsbrookingsirons

    Now we are talking. Would this be a better alternative to Hogan?
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    Would prefer paying the English premium for Hogan. We've done alright at bringing players from the Championship and from what my Brentford-supporting FIFA buddy says, he has the attributes to adapt.
  • alderzalderz
    Braithwaite's goalscoring record isn't particularly inspiring, and he hasn't played over here before. I'm with Outcast

    West ham reject second bid from Marseille. Believed to be £20m. The first bid was £19m.

    They are following the Davids approach to negotiating...

    The next offer will be for 7M and a pack of jaffa cakes...

    Jaffa cakes you say? If they change their offer to 7 million packs of Jaffa cakes, I say take the offer. Mmmmm, Jaffa cakes.

    With a number of top Premier League players holding clubs to ransom is it time to close the January transfer window? dg

    Bodes well...
  • HamstewHamstew
    If he's only worth £20m I think we should go in for him.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Zarate to Watford ;nonono

    Somebody ought to tell DG that the transfer window isn't controlled by the Premier League, it applies to all the leagues in Europe although considering the amount of time we've spent playing in Europe its understandable that he might have forgotten about them......
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    Someone also ought to tell Dave that he has the Jan transfer window to thank for being able to offload Zaza

    Sunderland and West Ham have been put off by Leeds United's £15m valuation of striker Chris Wood. (Sunderland Echo)
  • crusadinghammercrusadinghammer
    Chris Wood ???? - I would be over the moon to have a another Kiwi in the squad but lets get real - Nice bloke but hardly a premier league striker - In fact until this season struggling in the Championship - surely his international captain will be close enough to the action to tell the Daves that.
  • McHammerMcHammer
    I reckon im worth about 3.2 million at todays prices!

    3.2 million what? ;hmm
  • McHammerMcHammer
    Open to offers from the floor!
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    I could probably do that in Hob Nobs, Ginger Nuts and Rich Tea.

    Exchange rate with Jaffa Cakes is crazy atm, so can't offer those.
