With Mahrez’s form one of the best in the premier league at the moment. If anyone wants to take Mahrez in this window I would take no less than £60-£65m. 

 

Prices are crazy at the moment & you have to take the VVD deal as a way to get more money ourselves. Like Liverpool shown. If the club wanted Mahrez bad enough then they will cough up the money. 

At the moment he is defo worth more then  65million, I’d say in the current market 90million + but to us he’s worth 10 times that, because without him we are in big trouble

This is very subjective.  For example the Daniel Levy pricing model is different to the JR model.  Apply the ‘Duckworth-Lewis’ formular to the Daniel Levy price and you should come in around what LCFC could realistically achieve if sold now.

Mahrez - 80 million

 

Harry - 45 million

The problem is that we cannot replace them for that. Leicester cannot afford to lose these players in the winter transfer window. Not enough time to assimilate new players in this short window.

Maguire higher than we paid for him no doubt.

 

Mahrez I would value him at 80-100 million.  He is over 25 but still many years of prime left in him.  This is assuming a summer sale, a January sale add 20 milion to the price.

 

The issue is cost of replacing sold players.  Maguire is a gem, Mahrez is unique and we will not have another player like him as good as him in my lifetime.  This is why successive managers even pick him when he is off form, as an off form mahrez is still good, on form he is platinum.

 

So we could sell mahrez for say 80 million, buy a replacement for say 30 million and he would be nowhere near as good for us.  Like the disappointing nacho, slimani, musa etc.

 

What we best off doing is buying 10 prospects at low prices from french 2nd division or other similar leagues and just hope one has promise, then when mahrez eventually leaves (perhaps when one year left on contract), we have at least half a replacement.

Weve only conceded two less than Swansea and he's been personally at fault for a number of goals. He has some way to go to be worth 3/4 times what we paid for him already

He wasn't worth what we paid for him in the first place. We got a serious bargain in this market.

Doesn't matter what either player is worth in today's market it's an irrelevance. If we sold them then sure we make a massive profit but where do we get that quality of replacement? It's like finding out how much your house is worth compared to how much you paid for it and then realised all the other houses have gone up as much and you would need all the money to spend on your next house.

Yeah, and when you are willing to pay out a fortune for that new house, you realise you aren’t quite wanted on that neighbourhood.

Serves you right for wanting to be wanted I'd say.

But lately it’s not just the value of the player that’s gone completely Doolally it’s also their weekly wages, as with rumours that Sanchez is going to Manure on a reported £500k per week that’s just obscene and in the future it’s only going worse now somebplayers and clubs will take this as a benchmark !!

Clubs like ManU drive prices up & it's acceptable if they win something. Hard for young players to sign for top six though as opportunity will be limited. The league needs another outsider to shake up the top six & do it with some young homegrown talent.

No such thing as a player value. It's all utterly meaningless. 

 

Dean Ashton (who comes across as quite intelligent and articulate) hit the nail on the head on Talk Sport a few weeks ago when he likened transfer fees to the prices of fine art or vintage cars: they will go for what price somebody is willing to pay on a given day.

 

It's true, and even more so in this mad era of Virgil Van Dijk going for £70m. 

 

I actually wish transfer fees were all undisclosed, because it's all such bollocks and, frankly, none of our ****ing business. The price that one club is willing to pay to release a player out of his existing contract is of absolutely no consequence to anybody.

Very good post. I suspect it is due to the residual notion that we somehow 'pay their wages'.

Some clubs do it to show the fans what they’ve spent, and a ‘show of force’ to rivals.
