I'm not anti Scottish, I just wanted Moyes out.

fecking Madrid have 4 players in that list, and they aren't even petrol owned
 
5 through 9 cost their clubs nothing, and Valverde was about €5m. I don't have a point - I just find that interesting.
 
If you are given a guarantee that you can tie these players down to your club for the entirety of their primes, then I'd say Haaland, Bellingham, Yamal, Mbappé, Saka, and maybe Musiala are worth it.

The others, not so much IMO.

Saying they cost nothing is quite hyperbolic. The other club didn't receive a transfer fee but Mbappé cost a shitload not counting his massive wages.

I think you need to reread what he wrote.

And not Vinicius Jr…? Okay.
 
Well considering who he played for, certainly a lot more than saka for example, or yamal.
Yamal just helped Spain with the Euros and Saka has been performing in the PL, Europe and at international level for longer.

Just my view but he’s not quite justifying the value yet.

I would say winning the Bundesliga with Leverkusen is more impressive.
 
Is there any science to those values? Or is it just John Transfermarkt marking them all up?
some pretty solid science actually. It's bases on how much teenagers are inclined to pay for them on Fifa with Xbox-gold, of course corrected for exchange rate and inflation...

Who said anything about Mbappe?

30 G/A wingers aren't worth €200m in my opinion. In his defense, though, his 21/22 season was truly elite with 41 in LaLiga+CL, but that's just one season and 200m is still a bit too steep IMO. He should be between ~120-150m for me. Similar to Saka.
 
All made up, they had Rashford around 140m
That's not true, the highest Rashford has been rated at was 85m. And a lot goes into the value estimates, it's definitely not just "made up". They take into account things like the player's potential, their form, their consistency over a long period, their current contract length and their trophy haul including individual awards.

I am sure I have seen him at least at 130m

That is simply not true. Rashford‘s highest value ever was €85m. How much would another club have had to offer United to sell him during his best form? Now you're probably developing a sense of his "value"...

That's not really how market value works though.
