Tom Inces new valuation.

I'd have put this in the Thomas Ince or Ince or Coutinho thread but they've both been locked so I'll bang it in here in the hope of a re-open and move to one of them two.

So, Inces Daddy has come out and insisted that his li'l boys valuation should now be £25m. I'll pass.

 

Thomas Ince worth £25m - Blackpool boss & father Paul Ince

       Blackpool winger Thomas Ince could be worth as much as £25m in the current market, according to his father Paul.
    The 21-year-old was a January target for both Liverpool and Reading.
    And Seasiders manager Ince said Manchester United's signing of Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha should be a benchmark for his son's valuation.
    "If you're talking £15m for Zaha, Thomas has got to be £25m. If you compare the two, Thomas should cost more," he told BBC Radio Lancashire.
    Youngster Ince, who began his career at Liverpool and was strongly linked with a move back to Anfield earlier this season, collected the Young Player of the Year prize at the Football League awards last month.
    Ince has scored 18 goals in the Championship in 2012-13. Only Glenn Murray, Charlie Austin, Jordan Rhodes and Matej Vydra have found the net on more occasions in the division this term.

        Wide man Zaha has been one of the star performers in the second tier this season and was rewarded for his excellent form with a first full cap for England against Sweden in November.
    Blackpool boss Ince, who has said he does not want to sell his star player, continued: "Zaha is a fantastic player, don't get me wrong. Zaha's a stronger runner and does a lot of tricks, whereas Thomas is more direct, he makes things happen and he scores goals.
    "You've got a kid playing in the Championship who has scored 18 goals. When you look at the leading scorers, they're all strikers, and he's there amongst them.
    "Potentially, I think he can reach that value. If Palace want £15m for Zaha who has scored six goals, it makes you wonder what price he's going to be.
    "You're not going to get it because he's not proven in the Premier League, but if United are paying £15m for Zaha, on the stats you'd have to say Thomas is worth a lot more than that. That's my opinion."
    Meanwhile, striker Gary Taylor-Fletcher is nearing a return to first-team action after recovering from a torn hamstring and on-loan forward Marko Futacs has gone back to parent club Leicester City. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22038525

I wonder what Mrs Ince values her boy at ?

Using his logic he has a point. Ince has done more than Zaha is worth 15m.

Wouldn't have him for 10 though.

Coutinho must be worth 30 million then at that rate.
Don't tell Inter.

Indeed crouchy and I gotta be worth a few hundred thousand but it's whether or not some daft f**ker will pay it that is the problem.

Nothing wrong with bigging up your son or one of your players so I won't be reading too much into it.

Priceless, awww.

There goes my chance, if you're worth a few hundred grand cash converters wouldn't even touch me.

As for the thread, I thought it had a few comedy legs.

I forgot to include "in my hay-day" to be fair. And that steel plate in your napper has to be of some worth mate - don't put yourself down.

Steel? Titanium if you please and that was weighed in a long time ago.

F**k - your head must look like the bottom of a micro-waved mince pie.

It's been compared to worse, Katie Prices beef curtains being one. I soldier on.

Come summer time it doesn't matter what you think, Paul!

FA Tribunal will decide his price.

Even 9 million is too much considering he was a youth player here.
Still angers me seeing Paul Ince commenting on prices when he got his lad a move in the first place.

Option for a third season?

Couple of sources saying it will go down to the Tribunal and they will decide his market value. I have no idea what the third year option is? Tom's option or the teams?

I only know he signed a 2 year deal with an option for a 3rd.

10 years ago £25m and there abouts was what the truly world class players were going for, the likes of Ronaldo and Figo. Today it is being touted for a player who probably wont become much of a world beater at all.

Hahaha found this hilarious! Paul Ince can F**k off! I would be debating to buy him for 6 or 7mil never mind 25  Coutinho most be worth 50mil in that case! I think we should pass on Ince like all british players overrated and overpriced!

Even 35m

Couldnt agree more! Money in football is going mad! imagine in 50 years what players like Ince would be going for! MADNESS!

I would still love to have Tom Ince back, but even Paul knows he's never going to get £25M for Tom.

To be fair I think what Paul is saying is United paid way too much a Championship player that hasn't had as good a season as his son. Just a little valuation joke, he knows he'll get a fraction of that. Doubt he'd want his son having a huge price tag hanging over his head anyway, that's a lot of pressure.

mmm yes pity that's not how things work paul
