Are there such things as objective valuations in football? Surely there will always be an element of subjectivity for various reasons

As said above a few times, a player's valuation is quite simply whatever somebody is prepared to pay for him. You can try & compare against other transfer fees all you like, but ultimately it's totally theoretical.You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

It's the added bonuses and add-ons that massively bump up the prices to make them seem ridiculously high.

I think Ned having premier league experience, being english, decent age, captain experience and hence leadership experience (as much as some wanting to take away from it) will be enough to up the value beyond a purely talent based standpoint.
The thing about these valuations to consider is that they are valued on a global market. To a foreign club, British Homegrown players aren't valued as highly as we would value them. Hence why you can take the Wells valuation as a lowest case. Going to an english club, a homegrown players value immediately should shoot up.
As for Ned himself, I think I'd value him at 3.5mil-4mil to sell. We don't need to get rid of him, he's a great asset at this level and with all the cost cutting in other areas, his wages become manageable. With all the inflation from prem money, if a prem team comes for him, we have to negotiate it to hell."What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value. The idea that I trust my eyes more than the stats, I just don't buy that because I've seen magicians pull rabbits out of hats and I know I just know that rabbit's not in there." - Billy Beane

Any premier league team I think they would expect to pay more than a million, we should be getting 3-5 for him comfortably from Bournemouth. Any less and I cant see why we would sell, uunless JFH thinks we have enough defenders, just not worth it as cant bring in anyone else as good for a.million.

Originally posted by Stanley View PostI agree to a point. I think these valuation algorithms provide a ball-park figure, so they're a useful starting point (and as Nass says, they're based on the global market, not the inflated UK one). Clubs then always raise the figure depending on how highly they value a player. The supply/demand principle is obviously also factored in.
What do you disagree with mate?

The virtual world and the real one seem further apart every day.
Just like anyone else, a footballer is worth what someone is prepared to pay for their services. The problem being that back on earth the variable parameters are massive: agents, stakeholders, percentages, brand promotion deals, markets and holdings all contribute.
