Player Valuations

Brin I do think Peterborough would have accepted a lot less that 4 / 5 million for Vaulks, because he is in the last year of his contract, and his price will drop significantly in January with even less time before he goes for free. Jack Marriott was signed in 2017 by Peterborough on a 4 year deal so they could afford to wait for the right price. We can't with Vaulks. I personally would have snatched their hands off for 1.5m. Put a sell on clause on the deal and hopefully he will move to the prem from Cardiff and we can cash in.

I remember speaking to an ex pro when I was playing in the same team. He said that if a player plays 100 games as a pro he's practically guarenteed a contract. Managers will take a punt on a player who's played rather than someone who's sat on the bench.

Will the computer programme that all teams use give a price indicator on it?

I've seen that players are bought and sold on the games consoles. It won't surprise anyone when I say that I've never played on one so don't have a clue how it gives a price of a player but there must be a market for this info.

The GPS systems that all of the players wear will give information to the clubs who owns the players contract but is this available to everyone who has the software? You can see the stats on all players on different formats but what happens to the training data?

Can this give an indication that a player is putting extra work in or isn't doing as much?

Surely this info must be as part of the price. It can't be down to just how much a club wants a player so that's how much they'll pay.

Wanna bet?

Take the young Swansea lad ??? who's just signed for Man Utd. In January Leeds United all but had him signed up for 1.5 million but Swansea wanted just that bit more so Leeds backed out. Man Utd have just shelled out 18 Million for him, how can his saleable figure jump from 1.5 to 18 million in 5 months? Clubs will pay anything if they want a player so bad.
