[Albion] What was the value of our bench today?

I was less loving of that, it all felt a bit unnecessary.

They clearly enjoyed themselves when on, it may well have shaken off some 'weight' they've been carrying since Wembley, so in hindsight great move.

But at the time I thought it was a flex that was asking for trouble.

It would have been to give them a 30 min run out to stretch their legs and keep them sharp in what had turned into a training game for us. Not sure what the science behind it is, but the one time I've stayed behind after the final whistle the non-playing subs all did some warm down exercises on the pitch for about half an hour afterwards.

My guesses of might be accepted if offered this summer. This is not me saying someone would pay that.

1 Sánchez - 35 million
10 Mac Allister - 75 million
22 Mitoma - 60 million
25 Caicedo - 85 million
26 Ayari - 40 million (no one will offer that)
29 van Hecke - 20 million
40 Buonanotte - 35 million (no one will offer)
42 Offiah - dunno really.

What’s that? About 450?

Exciting prospects as they are, I don't think that Ayari or Goodnight have done anything to warrant a valuation of higher than what we paid yet.

Although our recruitment is so highly regarded at the moment that it could be argued that simply signing for Brighton doubles a player's value!
