Its not a moot point, its two well known examples of players whose values are decreasing -- whose contracts arent up. There will be numerous players in the same situation...im really not sure how you came to your point that no ones values drop unless theyre out of contract soon.
Also, not sure why we wouldnt be in for either unless were going to totally change tact and aim for 29+ year olds and not invest in younger high potential players.
Additionally, im amazed youre jumping on the bandwagon to add more players in January.
We'll surely only do that in each of the following two summers -- unless we can unload most of these:
6 Expiring 2021
Bolasie
Besic
Pennington
Connolly
Bowler
Olsen
10 Expiring 2022
James (1 year option)
Sigurdsson
Bernard
Tosun
Delph
Coleman
Kenny
Lossl
Baningime
Gibson
why would their value drop? Surely as they get better - if they’re on longish deals - then their value will only be higher in the middle of the season?
