Is Jay Rod Now A £20mill+ Player?

Would anyone agree that Rodriguez is now worth over £20mill? A 24yr old striker who's now regularly scoring in the Prem is pretty hard to come by, let alone an English one. If he can hit 15+ this and next season he'll surely be our most financially valuable player? £7mill is starting to look a hell of a bargain for him.

Hard to say really, obvious as it sounds, a player is only worth what someone is willing to pay for them.

 

£20m? Who knows, possibly. I don't expect us to sell him anytime soon, but would be surprised if it was for anything less than £15m, given the reasons stated above.

Look at what Liverpool have paid for English players in recent years. JRod wouldn't be good enough for Chelsea or City, but I could see Liverpool, Arsenal or Spurs being interested if he keeps up the form. Think he'll stay next season though.

 

If he's 20m, I'd put Shaw as the most valuable at 30m.

 

Lovren has been good enough to double his value already and many have noticed, so you'd expect at least 15m there.

 

Wanyama has shown he can do it in this league and his value won't have gone down, so probably 15 m again, and I'd put Schneiderlin at that level as he's been a consistent top flight performer.

 

Lallana is a good age and has been so consistently good and is such a rare talent for an English player he'd have to be towards 20m.

 

Clyne doesn't get as much publicity as Shaw but is better than Glen Johnson IMO and will play for England after the World Cup, so will certainly be 10m+.

 

I still like Ramirez and Osvaldo while some don't. Don't think they've lost much value and if they get playing a bit more it could go up, especially Ramirez.

 

We've certainly never had such a valuable squad.

 

I agree and think he is better than Johnson.

 

Something I will say that will probably be unpopular - I think Walker is better, and should be England's 1st choice RB.

I don't think we'd sell him for that, meaning that to us at least his value is higher. What other clubs would actually pay for him is another matter, but his value to them is less relevant than his value to us.

 

Yep, I was thinking more about his 'market value' rather than what we'd probably be prepared to sell him for (if at all)

Jay is probably worth in the 7-10m bracket, wouldn't expect to get much more than what we paid at this stage.

 

Potentially will be worth more though.

 

Really? He is easily worth £15m in the current market.

 

Since he joined us having never played PL football he has pushed himself towards the Eng squad and must be one of the highest scoring English players this season. Still got improvement in his game plus young, top injury record and great attitude.

 

If people talk about a joker like Rhodes for 8m then Jay is easily worth double.

Lets put it this way, if JRod wss plying his trade in the Championship now, how much would we expect pay based on his current form? Not £20m...I would argue more like £5m to be honest.

 

But he is playing in the PL. Not sure what you mean?

 

He has been superb this season. Need to extend his contract. Excellent modern forward.

 

Same league goals as Giroud, Negredo, Lukaku, Hazard and Rooney and also does loads of tracking back.

£10-12 million ish, he still needs to work on his technique IMO, his first touch at times is poor and his shooting can be poor, lots of scuffed efforts.

 

Got a lot going for him though pace, good dribbling, decent physique etc. but still a little rough around the edges

Dunno, haven't seen enough of him but both are miles better than Johnson. Walker has been part of some awful team defensive displays this season but doubt that's his fault.

 

Very fair point.

 

Clyne has been for us too though, both last season and this ;) (tongue in cheek).

 

Just my opinion, I think Walker should be #1 right now. Clyne can go on to be better. Don't think there's a great deal in it though.

 

Anyways, JRod is quality. Hard to value him, as I think we'd only entertain silly offers. I think MP rates him, as he sees to have a more prominent role than under NA (though one may legitimately argue that was in part to J settling into the club & PL). He seemed to be the player most improved since MPs arrival, certainly in the immediate period after mp came in.

For all his weaknesses he's still one of the top scorers in the league in a team that creates not very many clear cut chances. It's not about goals missed, no striker scores very chance, it's about the ones you put in the net

Hard to keep up with the price rises at the top end, but I'm not sure Rodriguez is top end. He is great for us, turning defence into attack and being in the right place at the right time, but there is loads of room for improvement.

Value is pretty much meaningless as it depends on who is buying and selling. A couple of years ago Carroll was 'worth' £35m at a similar age to JRod and with a similar scoring record. Jay won't be worth £35m because Liverpool haven't sold anyone for £50m this week.

 

I doubt the club would sell him for less than £20m so you could argue he is worth that.

When people say he seemed a more clinical finisher at Burnley......is that because you actually watched a lot of Burnley games or did you watch highlight shows on TV showing those goal that he actually scored that you really dont know how many he might have missed??

2 or 3 times that soft side foot finish through on goal has worked. 10+ times it hasn't! Most his goals look like great finishes but his decision making is poor overall. He seemed a more instinctual finisher at Burnley.

 

I dunno, perhaps, just perhaps, he seemed like that becuase he was up against a lower level of defender? Don't get me wrong, I think he's got a lot of potential and he's certainly improved with MoPo, but he's worth nowhere near £20m at the moment.

He's worth as much as someone is willing to pay for him. Some very pointless arguments in here comparing him to Negredo, sometimes you get lucky. City have wasted enough money on other players over the last few years.

 

Maybe a better way to look at it would be is he worth £3m more than Osvaldo? I'd say yes but only on this seasons performance.

Jesus. In what world did I say that?

 

You made the utterly bizarre statement 'If JRod was playing his trade in the Championship, how much would we pay for him?'.

 

I said if Negredo was, how much would he be worth. This isn't suggesting JRod and Negredo are comparable. It's saying that you can make your statement about any Premier League player and make as much sense.

 

If Negredo plying his trade in the Championship, we wouldn't be the famous Man City striker you know. He'd be as famous as Danny Ings. I didn't think I'd have to spell this one out, but scoring goals in the Premier League increases your reputation and value and proves more quality than doing it in the Championship.

 

I feel like someone has dialled down the intelligence tonight.

 

You see you've made your usual mistake of not reading exactly what you've quoted. You said I made a ststement when in fact I asked a question - so if anyone has demonstrated a lack of intelligence, I'm afraid you've scored an own goal there fella. And you did try to shoot down my comment by comparing Negredo...but that's ok I can understand why you would be embarrassed by that. Anyway, point I was attempting to get over was that IF JRod was back in the Championship now, he would not be worth anywhere near the suggested £20m even though he might appear to be better than he is now.

Walker is better, well, he was, certainly not on this seasons form though he is starting to step up again a tad. Johnson isnt as bad as people make out anyway, Id take Johnson and one of Walker or Clyne to the WC and on current form itll be clyne

Im not entirely sure where your going with this fella.... Adrian wasnt the only one that thought it was bizarre and his Negredo comment was basically the same as you you wrote.

 

'How much would J Rod be worth if he was still in the Championship and on current form ?'

 

Well, he is in good form but obviously less as its the championship..... Not that I see how thats relevant TBH
