thought about this last night. With Shittu gone, we've sold pretty much a whole team from the prem squad since jan 2006. Just wanted to see if we got our moneys worth. (I know some of the fees aren't quite right please correct me I'm too lazy to check): Foster (return) Chambers 100k-ish (free) Shittu 1.6m (2m) Carlisle 100k(200k-ish) Stewart 125k (released) Young (9.65m) Spring 125k (100k-ish) Mahon (free) Bouazza (3m-ish) King 500k (3.5m-ish) Henderson 450k (2m) which makes a total sale of about 20m-ish from a team that cost about 3m Was it worth it?
Now compare that to our current starting 11 Lee (500k) Doyely (150k) demerit (500k) bromby (750k) sadler (1m) smith (priceless) eustace (800k) williamson (500k) mcanuff (1m) priskin (500k) robsinson (who knows)
I reckon we may have made more income from tranfers in the past 3 seasons than in the rest of our history cumulatively.
Just wanted to see what you thought of my changes although I would never have Williamson in the first team but thats just my opinion. So for a team that cost around 7.5m is probably worth just about 8.5m to 9m. Hmmm
What i think there worth Spent Lee (250k) Academy Doyely (100k) Academy demerit (800k) Free bromby (600k) Deal worth up to 850,000 sadler (600k) Initial fee £750,000 smith (2.5m-3m) Re-signed £500,000 eustace (400k) 250,000 williamson (600k) About 500,000-600,000 mcanuff (1.5m-2m) Rise up to 2m priskin (900k) Undisclosed about 1m robsinson (500k-750k) Academy The costs have varied a lot between these players
What about McNamee.... flying for Swindon, I miss him already (though at least we've got Harley!) :]]
I reckon you could do something similar for most non-top flight clubs over the past 3 seasons, especially ones at the more successful end of the spectrum like us.
