redsquirrel Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 how are these calculated? ie,who decides what a player is valued at? why are they free when their contract runs out? is it purely down to the selling clubs evaluation of what they stand to lose in terms of performance? i cant get my head round how a player can be worth 7m 1 year and 1.5 the next? (random figures unrelated to anyone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Do The Dziekanowski Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Contract length is a big factor. Usually it is how much the player is valued by the club, so the fee compensates the player leaving. RVP last year of contract but a big asset to arsenal so left for 25m same as Micky Naynard last 6 months of contract so value dropped but still valued by us so still a large fee was paid. So basically Owners and mangers determine the worth of a player Hope that answered your question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride of the west Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 A player is worth what someone is prepared to pay like anything in life. A player becomes a free agent due to the bosman ruling. Surely youve heard of that. Going back to my 1st point. If a player is free in 6 months time then a team arnt going to be prepared to pay as much as they would have done 12 months previous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 yes,ive heard of the bosman ruling. never looked it up or been that interested in doing so before but im getting more into the footy now other than just the results and trying to figure how it all works. a bit late in life i know but hey ho,keeps the grey matter moving. Jake,thank you,that was what i was looking for,the bosman thing sort of screws it up for the clubs investing large sums doesnt it.hardly an investment when players can go for nothing.

redsince1994 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Basically how it works is if a player is young and english they can be sold at any price... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
