Player Valuation: £100m
When you hear Mountfield talk about that he'd have paid Everton to play for them and look at deadwood players on our roster grabbing 100 times as much, it seems like the 80s are a 100 years ago in terms of attitude of the players these days
sadly, that's football now. There's no other team in the prem where this is the case and tbh we're probably the best with regards to bringing through local talent or players who really care about this club. Lost it's way in the last couple of years, ironically when we had a manager who got the club more than comparable managers.
It is a shame because we do seem to be pulling through a lot of good local talent who would fight for the shirt and if this was a yesteryear sort of era without mass money/foreigners etc. we'd be a front runner.
