It really confuses me how anyone can value a fairly young striker with 17 goals this season at £2m 😂

Good thread by @MBcha who must have been in a good mood with some of those valuations 😀
Appreciate the effort put in though!
Personally think that @ Thracia is probably closer to the mark.
Squad is worth somewhere between 10 and 15 million max.
Riis due to his potential goal factor is the biggest asset @ around 5 Mill.
DJ, Browne, Ledson, Whiteman, all worth between 1 & 1.5 mill max.
McCann could become worth 3+ if he is actually played!
No way we would get anything like 2 Mill for Hughes or Bauer.
Decent as they are.

I don't play Football Manager but aren't players given transfer values on there?

I would agree with this
10 - 15M
@MBcha our valuations fluctuate massively with mood.
A good indicator would be a score for each game to give an average score for the whole season. I guess that information will be out there somewhere.

Whiteman and McCann are probably worth what we paid for them at the moment.
Riis is a really tough one to value, no one thought Hugill was worth £9m until West Ham payed £9m for him. If a prem team just looked at his stats, they might want to take a punt, if they'd scouted him well, they'd know he is miles off being ready for Prem football.
Older defenders rarely command a fee. Hughes has been outstanding this season but I doubt you'd see much more than a 400-500k offered for him. Bauer is similar. More desirable position, but not as good of a player. Similar, low to mid hundred thousands.
The deadwood arguably have negative value. You'd probably have to pay a team to take over Harrop's contract. Lindsay will cost us 750k in wages next season, no one is paying a fee to take on that contract, especially after his disastrous season.
I reckon, if we sign proper wingbacks, Browne might have a bit of a resurgence next season on the goals front. He's always been excellent in the air, and scored a great header on international duty, but the quality and quantity of our crossing has been awful. At present his value is in the gutter. This is his 3rd season in a row where he is yet to produce anything above mediocre performances with any consistency. He's been better this year, but it was a really low mark he set the previous 2 years. Can see, with his age, experience and international call-ups someone parting with £c2m for him.

Yeah just read the first post!
OP
The table on the first post of this thread.
Just sent a WhatsApp to the wrong person now. I'm on one this morning 🙈
I think I'd give Barky, Diaby and Izzy Brown a new deal.
Maybe one of the GKs as after Rudds sad news we are a sparse at GK.
In terms of the youngsters I've not seen play, I'd rather us avoid another Dolan situation.
I trust RL to make the right calls on this, his recruitment talk is encouraging for me but lets see who we bring in.

This is exactly what the club shouldn’t be doing, but probably will end up doing.
They’re not good enough now, why keep them on?
Lazy recruitment / renewals have got us this bloated, below par squad, it needs to be stopped.
I’d be against Barky, Diaby and Brown too if I’m completely honest, maybe Diaby at a push

Diaby can earn a contract. Can't see how Barky or Izzy have a chance of that.
Definition of robust
a: exhibiting strength or vigorous health
b: showing vigor, strength, or firmness
c: strongly formed or constructed: sturdy
d: capable of performing without failure
e: exact opposite of Izzy Brown
If we let both GKs go and assuming Iversen goes back to Leicester then we will be without a keeper so maybe clubs knowing that we have none on the books will see the difficult position we are in and will then try to add £ onto the price of our targets?
IDK - Don't take my word for it, I can't even read the original post properly for starters! Haha
OP
I'd be amazed if we paid a transfer fee for a keeper this summer.
To be fair, especially for goalkeepers there is decent value to be found in free agents and the loan market.
I knew this list had been posted. It really does illustrate the size of the task that Ryan has in the next few months. I hope he's not promised to take his missus on holiday for too long.
