Some clubs have no morals.

Doctor Gero are you going to the MVFC game in Geelong on Mon 2nd Jan? Quivorir are you making the trip?

Don't know if there is already a thread but go Auckland.

Swiss Football Observatory CIES calculate value based on a number of criteria, including ability, age, nationality, form, length of current contract, club, latest actual transfer price and status; and Sport English used CIES’s value tool to collate the Top 50 you’ll see below.

This is why you’ll see 24-year-old Neymar has taken over 29-year-old Lionel Messi as the world’s most ‘valuable’ player!

Liverpool have two representatives, with Coutinho (€75m) named as the 12th most valuable player in the world, ahead of Chelsea’s Eden Hazard, Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez and Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne.

 

[jd2010]

Did Liverpool sign Romelu's brother Jordan to replace Moreno at LB? And if so, that's some real jod-like overrating having him worth 48m!

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Pogba was a bargain.

Not sure that's true when Donnarumma is ahead of Courtois.

Article is garbage, for that very reason. He isn't ahead of Hazard, he is level with him FFS.

Fair enough i didnt give it enough attention. Just wanted to laugh at FAITH

When youve got guys like Pogba worth more than Aguero/Hazard/Kane/Sanchez/Coutinho (and 40m too) not sure it holds much weight to me.

 

[Buckleys Jocks]

Is it really that surprising to see Pogba ahead of Coutinho or Kane on a list like this? Before he signed for United no one would have questioned that ranking.

 

[Cooldude]

Neymar most expensive at 250 mil? Are those numbers for bail?

Ronaldo's figure is probably his outstanding tax debt.

It never held any weight with me. Players are worth what clubs are willing to pay for them. That's how capitalism works.

It's merely numbers picked out of thin air probably in line with how the author values and ranks players.

Doctor Gero are you going to the MVFC game in Geelong on Mon 2nd Jan? Quivorir are you making the trip?

Seriously contemplating it. All depends on how the wife is, just had a new baby yesterday

Congratulations mate!!

Fair enough. I initially assumed it was a list of the top scorers over their last 70 games rather than a selected list of goal scoring records over that time period.

Someone asked a stats guru for it and 70 games was selected because that's how long it took Kane to reach 50 goals apparently, more a measuring stick to see where he is, the original had Andy Carroll merely to troll Hammers fans (22 goals) also

 

[Magma]

it's a most valuable list based on the entire year. pogba was an absolute monster when he left juventus. he's also a marketing machine. he's also younger and would cost a hell of a lot more than that to move him from utd regardless.

it's not a who's the best list, it's what players hold the most value. performances do come into it but pogba is basically the face of adidas right now in europe. hazard was, quite frankly, a bit shit before this season begun too.

Fair enough, i took it to mean playing wise not all that other stuff.

And yep. Hazard did have a pretty shit season last season.

Will be interesting to see how much Kelechi ends up with after 70.

Currently 11 from 35 but the bulk of those have been 5-10 sub appearances. Only 10 starts so far.

 

[Latro]

FIFA considering penalty shootouts for every drawn World Cup match.

Also want to go to 48 team World Cup with groups of 3 teams.

Bring back Blatter.

 

[Magma]

why not just have a world cup with every single fifa nation and whatnot?

more countries, more bribes for fifa.

3 team groups are easier to fix apparently.
