Having full backs who do not assist is also a big problem for harry
Hmm, Aurier is our 2nd highest assister in the PL this season with 4. Harry's biggest problems this season have been being injured, losing Eriksen in the squad as one of our main chance creators, as well as patchy form from Dele and others behind him. He's having to spend too much time dropping back to create himself rather than being in the position to take the chances

The bar is pretty low if Aurier is the 2nd highest assister in that case, 4 assists in 30 odd games really isn't that great especially since full backs now get the most amount of space on the pitch.

According to Jamie Redknapp

“He’s injury-free and feeling fitter than ever. Spurs will benefit from having the Premier League’s best No 9 back, ready and raring to go.”

If my dad was famous, I was better looking and became a professional footballer I could do his job.

Just had a good laugh at this


Harry Kane is 10th on the list, worth £106 million according to this list
The state of that list and those figures I wouldn't waste any more time on it.

This is the same analyst report we've praised when it listed Kane as top 3 in the world a few years back and most of our squad has been highly valued in. Can't have it both ways.

We can, I can agree with one statement someone makes and disagree with the next. That's not controversial.

They've placed Rashford above Haaland. You don't need to go any further than that.

But when selling a player the wealth of the selling club plays a huge part.

Utd rate Rashford very highly and he is young, if they were to sell his price would be well above his value.

Yes but i mean...that thing has Mason Mount at £91m. That’s absurd.
You would think but look at some of the fees young players are touted for.

Chelsea are extremely wealthy and rate him highly. They would only sell him for a sky high fee. If Mount was at a Championship club his price would be much lower.

Even pre covid he wouldn't command that fee. Mainly because he's not even in the top 20 in Europe in his position.

I'm begging dragged into picking apart this insane list. van Dijk isn't even the highest value defender. He's only 28. He's got 4 full years ahead of him at peak level. Even buy your measure of value, what would it take liverpool to part with him? Would it be what this list suggests? No, it would be at least double and probably not even that.

I won't even start on Mason Mount.

If someone offered 60m for Mason Mount, Chelsea would sell I reckon

Don't get me wrong, good young player...but not 90m good.

That said, the players at the top aren't crazy. You're not getting 150m for TAA, outstanding though he is.

I'm not so sure I agree with that actually. Haaland is a phenomenal young goal scorer, for sure. Rahsford's developing very well though. I think he could be world class

Haaland probably scored more goals this season than Rashford has in his life.

Yes he might be a flash in the pan, but Rashford isn't anymore than promising.

Haaland is huge, lightening quick as in Bolt quick, has great touch and great movement. He just looks like a complete natural.

We'll have to see how it plays out over the next few years.

Not going through the list either as I find them a bit worthless.
But if you look at Rashford as a whole is a strong case for him being very expensive.

A 22 year old English international playing for the wealthiest club in the Prem.

They rate him highly so are not going to choose to sell, their hand will need to be forced by a bigger club coming in and a huge bid.

I remember people thinking we wouldn’t get a world record fee for Bale because he’s not as good as Ronaldo, that’s just not how pricing players works.

Covid might affect some players prices but not for the top level players. Morata coining for £50m proves that.

Why would Chelsea sell? They don’t need the money and they want top young British players so they can have a full squad.

Come on, Bale was incredible for us. Like unbelievably good in that last season. Just unstoppable. Rashford isn't anywhere near that. As a wide forward Sancho is better. As a striker, well, United don't even seem convinced he's their man to be no.9
