Just looking at some of the fees demanded for the likes of Salah, Pericic and Morata (who isn't a regular starter), I was just wondering how much some of Manchester United Players should cost that are potentially on their way out of Old Trafford. We have a history of selling our players much cheaper in the past (Nistelrooy, Hienze, Chicharito, Wellbeck, Johny Evans all sold so cheap). I would say...
1. Darmian approx 35 £
2. Adnan Januzaj 20 £
3. Luke Shaw 35 £
4. Maruan Fellaini 40 £
5. David DeGea 70 £
6. Anthony Martial 45 £
7. Chris Smalling 60 £
8. Phil Jones 50 £
This has literally left me speechless. If you could get this kind of money for these players, you need Woodwards job immediately.
Darmian is extremely limited offensively and is considered a squad player. How can we make a profit on him? Looking more like 10-15mil if we sold.
Adnan - glimpses of potential under Moyes, years ago. Done naff all with us, Dortmund and Sunderland. Would struggle to get 10mil
Shaw - Could argue we could get 20-30 based on potential. Hasn't played much or well enough to justify this fee though. Would struggle to find a buyer.
Fellaini - 40mil - just wow. Based on ability, I think a club like stoke or west brom would happily pay 10-15mil.
De Gea - 70mil for a keeper is insane but he is truly world class so would hope to get as much as possible.
Martial - would probably agree but he hasn't shown any justification that he is a 40mil player. Would probably get 30
Smalling - the biggest over estimation in the history of football. Tone that down, he is junk on the ball, inconsistent, lacks concentration and is error prone. Would be lucky to get 15-20. As he is English, could argue 25.
Jones - second over estimation in the history of football. Didn't he cost us 16mil, barely played a regular run of games and spent half his time being injured. While he had a few good games last season, this hardly warrants this valuation. 10-15 at a push.
Some serious over valuation here. I suppose you think Dier is cheap at 50mil?
