Howard hasnt got a half 8th of the talent Iker has.
About time for a touch of realism I think......
Yakubu: 8M Hope he comes back firing on all cylinders. Might come back overwight and angling for his next move!
Saha: 2M Injury prone
Anichebe: 2M Championship at best
Vaughan: 3M see Anichebe
Cahill: 6M Great for us but getting on and wouldnt be first choice in top four team.
Fellaini: 18M He will be a superstar next season
Arteta: 17M Priceless to us, but can't get a game for Spain!
Pienaar: 15M How I wish he was 22 and not 27.
Neville: 1M Player manager at Wigan?
Osman: 6M Form has dropped as he has played with injuries.
Rodwell: 12M This time next season he'll be worth £20m
Gosling: 3M Apart from THAT goal he doesnt excite me as a great prospect
Hibbert: 3M Hasn't improved with the rest of the team
Yobo: 8M An average Prem defender
Jagielka: 12M A much better than average Prem defender.
Lescott: 18M The only one who I believe could play for top 4 immediately.
Baines: 12M If he continues to improve he should be England's left back before too long
Howard: 4M OK
The greatest strength of this squad is their work ethic and obvious togetherness. Put them in another side and, Lescott aside, I really doubt if they would look so good.
One of the problems with discussions of prices is that it's assumed that the money can then be spent on an equivalent or better player at an advantageous price.
However what about if I sell Yakubu for 13m but I can't buy a striker to get me the same number of goals for less than 18m? Or do I consider 13m is over the odds and there's a glut of midfielders which pushes the price down in an area I need to strengthen? So I sell him to increase the value of the squad overall.
(Is that opportunity cost, TX? My memory of economics is fading...)
someone must have scored some high quality crack
these prices maybe would have been accurate based on the transfer market 5 seasons ago, back when our transfer record was under 10 million, but times have changed, teams spend a lot more money.
would you really accept a bid for 6 million for tim cahill???? are you out of your mind. i guarantee he would start for any big 4 team, right behind torres as a second striker, he would definitely play ahead of Anderson, he'd play second striker at arsenal with Van Persie, and Chelsea would find a way to fit him in.
baines jagielka lescott arteta pienaar and cahill could all get regular playing time for any big 4 team, fellaini will be in a position to get regular time in a season or two. i think your valuations are way too low for the most part, jagielka was probably the best centre back in the league last season, Rio moved for 33 million years ago before all the inflation, surely jagielka would sell for 20 million at the very least today.
Id give Saha away if it was up to me.
Gosling i know hes a younglad and will get better but not convinced he will be anything other than a squad player.
Saha: 8M
Neville: 6M
Osman: 8.5M
Hibbert: 7M
I never joke mate.
I clearly dont rate him as highly as you.
Cech cost Chelsea 7m and before he got kicked in the head a few times he was utter class. Howard is sadly not on a par with Cech, so this must be reflected in the price, there arent many really good keepers around so maybe add a bit more on.
Lets say £5.5m
