      "Big Team" squad values
      Jan 08, 2009 04:18:55 am
      Well, well, well ...

      You'd expect the squad with the highest value to be top of the League, wouldn't you? After all, why pay all that money for players if they can't perform?

      #     Team                            Value
      #1 - Chelsea FC                    €386.7m / ~£380.4m
      #2 - Manchester United FC    €386.2m / ~£380m
      #3 - Liverpool FC                  €301.05m / ~£297m
      #4 - Arsenal FC                    €246.85m / ~£242.5m

      And just for the crack, let's put Villa and Everton in:

      #5 - Everton FC                   â‚¬150.93m / ~£147.5m
      #6 - Aston Villa FC               â‚¬132.5m / ~£130m

      http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/wettbewerb/GB1/premier-league/uebersicht/startseite.html


      Funny, ain't it? :laugh:


      Got bored and had a look at the other "European Titans", too:

             
      #1 - FC Barcelona                 â‚¬396.7m / ~£391m   
      #2 - Real Madrid CF               â‚¬371m / ~£367m
      #3 - Internazionale Milan       â‚¬343.1m / ~£339.5m
      #4 - AC Milan                        €328.9 / ~£325.8m

      So RAFA is not doing a bad job after all,it makes it more important that the owners get his contract sorted out pronto.

      £83m behind Manure - that's 2/3 world class players.  And they're behind us?

      You'd think it would be impossible to compete with two teams who each have squads worth over £80 million more than ours, but it just goes to show that football is much more complicated than that! I've stated in the past that money is important - it's a crucial part of building a quality team - but there is more to the game than that!

      Chelsea are a great example of money being a part of success, but not a guarantee of it. When you put together a squad of famous, big-named (and, more often than not, extremely egotistical) players, they can play some wonderful football. When everything was going their way, Chelsea were close to unbeatable. However, knock their confidence a bit, a few poor results, and the egos clash and the results go out of the window.

      Aside from big names, of which we have a few, Liverpool has a tremendous spirit, and players rarely clash on or off the pitch. This has shown this season, with our great comebacks and grinding out of results, and I hope our battling, never-say-die will to win is rewarded at the end of the season with the silverware we merit.

      Moved this in to The Kop board.

      Interesting valuations there on some of our players.

      Pepe valued at 14.4 million
      Carra at 17 million
      Gerrard at 43 million
      Pennant at 8 million
      Torres at 38 million
      Insua at 560,000 ?

      Just proves all this money talk is a load of sh*te!

      What you need is a good manager and a mix of stars and those prepared to graft.

      Those allstar type teams always F**k-up when they come up against a team prepared to fight.

      I bet none of the German teams are prepared to pay six million for soft lad Voronin are they!

      what ? how can insua be worth that little are you sure it wasnt 5,600,000 because there has always been teams intrested in him and he has always performed well for us in the reserves and its not like he plays poor when he plays for argentina i think its safe to say if we were to ever sell insua ( which i hope we dont) we will get alot more money than this !

      He's only just begun to get games for us - a player's valuation won't go up if he isn't consistent in his performances.

      As he's only had 7 games so far, there's no telling whether or not he is consistent.

      Plus he's only 19.

      usually being younger increases your value i can think of plenty of 19 year olds that would be worth a lot more and it doesnt matter how many games hes had with us hes proven his quality with argentina and boca already

      That doesn't matter. Boca Juniors and Argentina U19's are hardly high-profile sides.

      You have to keep in mind that as much as we know he's a quality left-back, others don't - so his valuation will not be high just yet.

      Plus, he's mostly been in the reserves with us, and other teams will be saying, "they won't ask for that much for him then".

      Rafa would probably stick a £15m price-tag on him anyway if clubs were interested.

      Haha, always thought Real Madrid had the highest value, but it's that Catalonian arse team haha ;D (not to insult fans of Barca, but I just hate both these teams; I hate Barca as much as Real, I prefer Villarreal (divide the values of Barca and Real by two or more and you have the value of Villarreal I guess)

      Well, well, well. In previous years we've finished behind the likes of United and Chelsea, the excuse is always "we can't compete with their money" which is obviously sh*te because we can. I've always said I don't believe money as a viable excuse, been slaughtered for saying such things by certain members on here.

      Money doesn't win football matches, FACT.

      Very true, especially here in the Netherlands. Ajax has by far the highest squad value, but they often play as sh*te... but not as sh*te as PiSVee (PSV) or Feijenooit (Feyenoord)

      be interresting to compare the value of the top 4 teams in each league, as prem always does well CL is that the money? well barca are ahead of us in that repect. Is it the top managers we have, as much as i hate SAF u gotta admit hes a good manger, same with Arsene n Big Phil. I reckon its the way we play the game, fast n physical, to simplfiy, the italeins cant keep up, n the spainash just get pushed off the ball. the only other compareable team in europe is bayern Muinch but id doubt their more than £200 million

      some i agree with some i don't i personally like to see the young lads coming through and doin well look at Gerrard and carra they cost us nowt yet they are 2 of our most consistant performers money can buy the best but it don't guarantee they gunna perform we seen it time and again over the years but then you look at what players like Alonso and Pepe have cost us and its a drop in the ocean compared to some

      In terms of domestic football they are.
