Ashely Young, whats he worth?

[finlaych]

After his recent transfer i was wondering what you'd say he's worth?

 

[MORTY]

130k a week

 

[northernblue]

I would probably say he is worth just about what United have paid! 16-20 mil!! good player but not a world beater!

 

[northernblue]

And definitely NOT worth 130k a week, that is insane!!!

 

[severnside gull]

well if you read the press.......£17m transfer fee plus £130K per week for 5 years makes him worth £50m all-in

 

[KZNSeagull]

About 50p when he is playing for England, I would think.

 

[Shammo]

About 50p when he is playing for England, I would think.

This!

 

[OSRGull]

It's a good move for him, he was stuck in a Villa side who were achieving f*** all and I think it's about time he got his chance at a bigger club, 130k a week though? The only people who are worth earning that much money are the soldiers out there.

 

[crodonilson]

Who do you compare him to??

If Henderson is worth £20m then I'd say he's twice the player he is and if Carroll is worth £35m I'd say Young is streets ahead of him so at £18m Man Utd have got a snip.

 

[Rookie]

Whatever someone is willing to pay for him? The transfer market is ridiculous at the moment silly money is being passed around

 

[Silent Bob]

About 50p when he is playing for England, I would think.

He's been the only player who has looked half decent for England lately though?
After FINALLY getting a chance, about 5 years late.
I think he's quality, £15m is a good deal for him.

 

[Westdene Wonder]

Looks good at times but poor final ball/shot, should improve at Man U but would not pay more than £10 million

 

[Albumen]

Shame United got him, I quite liked him. To answer the question I reckon around 25m if he had more than one year left. He'll fill a giggs shaped hole. I may re-word that . . .

 

[Spun Cuppa]

Nice to see the big clubs buying English players. Don't know if it would have been the same story without the new quota system requiring them to. Hopefully it will have a positive knock on effect on the national team...

 

[Sloe Joe]

A set of trackies and an AmEx ST if he's lucky.
Who cares

 

[Leekbrookgull]

About 50p when he is playing for England, I would think.

Serious ? As much as that ?

 

[DT Withdean]

He's been the only player who has looked half decent for England lately though?
After FINALLY getting a chance, about 5 years late.
I think he's quality, £15m is a good deal for him.

But Xavi, Iniesta & Messi will remain 2 massive notches above him and them in class.

 

[seagullondon]

46 million. he is basically messi

 

[DT Withdean]

Who do you compare him to??

If Henderson is worth £20m then I'd say he's twice the player he is and if Carroll is worth £35m I'd say Young is streets ahead of him so at £18m Man Utd have got a snip.

25 year old Young is far further developed and into his career, hence why, on some days he might seem the more finished article than the youngsters.

Not anti-Liverpool by any chance?

The £31m on Berbatov or £7.4m on Bebe don't earn a mention, in relating the value of Young.

Turns out Henderson was £16m. The £20m was the usual english media rounding-up generously to the nearest £5m.

And Luiz Suarez at £22m. Watched thaty guy play yet?

Anyway, Abramovich kindly paid for Suarez and Carroll (with a little top up from the Ryan Babel cash).


Then of course build in the wages to give the true cash flows:
Young on £120k a week now, youngsters Carroll and Henderson on far far less.

In real life term's he's worth £300 a week. In Football Cuckoo lands he's Apparently worth 130k a week. A soldier earns £300 a week. Ashley young trains for an hour a day 4 days a week with the with the odd 90min match on the saturday or midweek for 130k a week. Whats he worth? More than a soldier away from his/her family risking their lives every day and night? I dont think so. This country has gone money mad when it come's to football.
