Having seen Jordan Henderson spazz around the pitch on numerous occasions in the past few years AND with imminent signing of Ramirez in the offing, I just wondered what some of our previous players would be valued at in todays market?

 

I'll begin;

 

Neil Maddison, £6m.

 

Barry Horne -£8.5m of anyone's money.

[mynameisthehulk]

Rideout 6m

Ruddock 6m

Dodd 4.5m

[Elmore]

Monkou - £7m

[Saint Stimp]

Kevin Davies the first time around? £18 million at least.

Unless you add a date or say when the player was at his peak it doesn't really make sense.

 

For example Le Tissier in 1994/95 was a lot better than Le Tissier in 2001/02.

 

I have no idea why some people dislike you. What could it be?

 

Richard Hall - £7.5m (when he was England under 21 player for you MLG)

[angelman]

Gareth Bale - £30m

Theo Walcott - £5m

And West Ham would be even more fooked. Alas.

[Turkish]

Scott Marshall - still nothing

WOW ..Ted Bates did do a good deal didn't he ?

 

Remember thinking Ted must be a taking a real risk to splash this sort of money out for a relatively unknown player.

 

What a bargain Big Ron turned out to be

 

Interesting to find out that RPI has increased by a factor of 15 between 1966 and 2012 so this accounts for the relatively modest transfer value of £800k +

 

Of course this is out of kilter with the actual transfer value which would certainly now be over £20m, perhaps much more, if Ron was capable of scoring as freely as he did with Saints in the 60's

 

Interesting to compare admission charges which have gone up by a factor of approx 120 since 1966 although most clubs benefit from decent stadia (there are some noteworthy exceptions!!)

Using same link - adult price to Milton Road terrace then - 4/6d.

 

Worth now £3.43.

 

In other words it cost the equivalent of £3.43 to attend a top flight match in 1966.

 

And people wonder why we couldn't sell out on Saturday.

According to this article the average wage in 1966 was £23pw - so relatively ticket prices prices are less than they were.

No, sorry that doesn't work.

 

Average wage now is about £500 a week - or around 22 times what it was in 1966.

 

Therefore as the price of admission in 1966 was about 23p, relatively it should now be 22 times 23p = £5.06.

 

I think we'd have sold out on Saturday if the tickets were a fiver each.

You're right - I added inflation twice, erk

....and he obviously hopes that no-one has noticed Butland's performances since then .........
