I do think a lot of you are seriously overvaluing players. If Lambert is worth £6m, then Maynard should be worth about £10m. We have just signed Fox for £1.8m so I don't think Harding would be worth any more than £1m etc. Then, people complain saying we would be overspending trying to sign players like Maynard or Rodriguez.
Davis - £1 million Richardson £2 million Fonte £5 million Seaborne £500k Harding £1 (yes £1 ) Fox £2 million Hammond £2 milliion Cork £5 million Morgan £6 million Lallana - irreplaceable De ridder £2 million Lambo - irreplaceable Conners - wouldn't sell Guly £2 million Dickson £1 million Chappers £2 million Barney £2 million Bart £1 million Martin £2 million
Davis: £500k- Still a quality Goalkeeper, but age is not on his side Bialkowski: £400k- Inexperienced Richardson: £1 million- Assured right-back Butterfield: £400k- Although a good player, age would decrease his price Fonte: £5 million- Better player than Matt Mills (in my opinion) who Leicester bought for £5 million. Good enough for the Premiership Seaborne: £800k- Inexperienced at Championhip level, although in the few games he has played in he has been very assured Martin: £700k- Too inexperienced to be demanding a higher fee Jaidi: £100k- Past his best Harding: £1 million- Good enough for top end of championship Fox: £2 million- Although he hasn't played for us enough to have a good judgement on him, he has premiership experience and IMO is the best left-back in the division Dickson: £800k- Good player although inexperienced at this level Guly: £2 million- Moments of magic De Ridder: £2 million- Havent seen much of him but looks a very good prospect Schneiderlin: £5 million- France International (albeit at under-21 level) who is one of the best midfielders in the league Cork: £5 million- How on earth did we get him for 750k?!? Hammond: £2 million- Although many of us worried if he would be able to adjust to life in the championship, he has been very assured in the middle of the park. Chaplow: £2 million- A quality, eperienced championship midfielder Lallana: Not going to even contemplate how much he is worth. Priceless. Holmes: £1 million- On his day is very good, but too injury prone. Forte: £1 miilion- Has played in the championship before and has pace in abundance Connolly: £500k- Quality-wise he is worth at least 1 million, but is too old for a hiher transfer fee. Lambert:£4 million- Has adjusted to life well in the Championship, but i am unsure as to whether he is Premiership quality. Barnard: £1.5 million- Championship-quality striker Those are my opinions as to how much they are worth.
Davis - £500k Bialkowski - £250K Richardson - £700k Butterfield - £150k Fonte - £3million Seaborne - £500k Jaidi- £50k Martin - 800k Harding - £700k Dickson - £650k Guly £1.5million Hammond - £1million Schneiderlin - £5million Cork - £4million Lallana - £7.5million Holmes - £100k Lambert - £2.5million Connolly - £500k Barnard - £900k
Not sure how anyone can rate Chaplow at 2 million, I know he's worth more than the 50k we paid for him, but 2 million!?
At the end of the day, player values are changing all the time. A player's value is only what the selling club will accept to sell for and the buying club agree to pay.
This is what I think the players are WORTH. Its strange though, because its not what i'd be happy to see them sold for, which I guess defeats the purpose a bit, but there we go. Davis - £500k Bialkowski - £500K (purely an age thing) Richardson - £700k Butterfield - £250k Fonte - £3.5 million Seaborne - £250k Jaidi- £50k Martin - £500k Harding - £1 million Dickson - £250k Guly £750K Hammond - £0.5 million Schneiderlin - £1 million Cork - £3.5 million Lallana - £8 million Holmes - £100k Lambert - £3 million Connolly - £100k Barnard - £600k Looking at it, its a lot less than some people, but I think its realistic valuations. However, like I said I don't think I would accept an offer of that much for any of those players. Reason being, we don't need to sell, and don't want to sell, any of the above. When you have that situation with a seller, then you pay more than something is worth. However, for Puncheon I would accept £750K at the moment, maybe even £500K.
Davis - 150k max due to age Bialkowski - 1.0m Richardson - 2m Fonte - 5m Seaborne - 900k Harding - 1.2m Cork - 3m curently Hammond - 2m Schneiderlin - 4m Guly - 1.2m Lallana - 15m Lambert - 5m Connolly - no real transfer value
That's me being generous, I think he's awful!! If you had a brain cell you would realise that he can't mark and has no positional sense.
Interesting thread, but our team is worth more than it's parts. How we got Cork for that valuation I don't know..presumably they wanted him off the books but the choice of team was up to him. Connolly has a low value because of his age, but what a striker to get on the cheap. Lallana is priceless to us when you consider the prize money associated with being in the Prem. I'm sure not one of the team want to leave at the moment.
As much as some people seem to really dis-like Harding, i personally think he was a good player for us last season...Just not sure if he can cut it in the champ! However, strictly value wise i think it's around 1m minimum, i mean when looking at the stats all i see is L1 Team of the year! Must add quite a lot.
If we make the prem...I personally think he will be Manchester United's next manager in a few years.(If they dont go abroad, which i believe is a bad move for them)
Love Nigel to bits, but is he smooth enough for one of the top four teams. Their boards can be rather superficial. Ferguson sneaked in and proved himself a great manager at a time when football was still run by proper football men and not accountants. (No need to get upset, Nicola, you are a rare exception).
I've always thought he'll end up being the Liverpool manager once he gets recognised in the Premier League.
Don't be daft. No one will want him as he is English. Thank goodness most clubs are looking to follow the fashion for foreign managers/coaches.
he's just been given a brand new contract, given to him by cortese and adkins, you saying you know more about football then them?
Davis - £750,000 Richardson - £900,000 Fonte - £2.75million Seaborne - £700,000 Harding - £750,000 Fox £1.8million-£2million Hammond - £1.2million Cork - £3.5million (CLASS) Schneiderlin - £1.75million Lallana - We CANNOT let him go! De Ridder - £1.25million Lambert - £3.5million Connolly - £450,000 Guly - £950,000 Dickson - £1million Chaplow - £1.25million Barnard - £2million Bart - £1million Martin - £900,000 I think all of these players are commited to Southampton and they all have a future here.
