  • They also all had bigger squads than us and from our small squad we lost three first team players for more than a month for the Africa Nations Cup! (NT) -- Ted White, Tuesday, May 26, 01:41:47pm (host81-152-14-43.range81-152.btcentralplus.com/81.152.14.43)

• Transfermarkt's valuations are based on an algorithm and are absolutely meaningless. So thats an iffy start. (NT) -- Same Old Story, Tuesday, May 26, 01:38:53pm (NoHost/90.240.123.178)
  • I am not saying that you are wrong but I thought that Transfermkt's valuations are crowdsourced i.e. informed consensus, not algorithmic. (NT) -- Mike T, Wednesday, May 27, 07:59:03am (host109-152-202-195.range109-152.btcentralplus.com/109.152.202.195)
    • Not unless they've changed the methodology. I know the person who set the original algorithm up! It has/had a heavy weighting of contract status built in which meant that people on expensive contracts, or long contracts were often 'overvalued'. They may have refined it since then, to be fair.

• Tellingly, we finished 11th, roughly the same place we are in the wage bill league table as discussed in that excellent book The Numbers Game from 2013 (NT) -- JoeT, Tuesday, May 26, 02:01:57pm (82-132-232-65.dab.02.net/82.132.232.65)

• Transfer market is ropey at best, even if it was sensible I’d suggest primary reason we have lower squad value isn’t an inferior squad, it’s because we have a lot of older players wirh minimal resale, whereas someone like B.mouth or palace have more in the low 20s age bracket worth 60m+ and wirh great resale possibility. As Joe says, wages far more accurate picture, we have finished almost bang on with that metric for last 3 years, hence I conclude silva is a good but not great coach.

  • It would seem to me that, maybe, one of the reasons that our squad value is so low is that there are less players in it than almost all the other teams but having Tom, Raul and Lecomte, each 35 as well as Leno at 34, all with minimal sell on value, does not help. However Raul and Tom have proved to be way better than their perceived worth! (NT) -- John B, Tuesday, May 26, 05:42:33pm (NoHost/185.128.9.199)
