Player Valuation: £50m
The kind of game likely to produce further evidence that my prediction of 9th without reinforcements is likely to be apposite.
Now, if we go and win at Wolves, then I think there is a body of evidence that suggests I have underestimated us. It puts a bit of distance between us and a side that were well ahead of us last season, mainly due to the incompetence of Marco Silva. Wins against Chelsea, Arsenal, and Leicester will seem a little no more than streaky if we follow them up with defeats to West Ham and Wolves. Indeed, there is a strong argument then that we are merely regressing to the mean.
So, a big one this.
