The CIES Football Observatory values Declan Rice for a transfer fee of between £43m and £60m (€50m to €70m) saying he represents 22.4% of the entire West Ham squad value.
The Football Observatory website claims to have developed a powerful algorithm to assess the transfer value of professional football players on a scientific basis.
Issue number 330 of the Weekly Post presents the top valued footballer for each of the 98 teams from the five major European leagues, as well as the percentage that the value of the most expensive player represents out of the total estimated transfer value of his owner club.
With an estimated transfer value of more than £129.5m (€150m) Marcus Rashford from Manchester United is rated with the most expensive transfer valuation . The Englishman represents almost 15% of the entire Manchester United’s estimated transfer value.
David Moyes has previously mentioned it would take a ‘Bank of England’ sum to tempt the club to part with their star asset with bids under £100m a non-starter.
They can value what they like – starting at priceless!!
So Rashford is worth 150 to 200 million . And ahead of Kane ! JOKE Survey as far I’m concerned. Saka ?????
I have a powerful tool called a brain that declares this alogrithm as a load of old (and Im using the word as a non vulgar interjection) ………
Transfer fees are set by the selling club or by the outgoing player having little time left on their contract.
Football is no different to other industries and is subject to the same rules if supply and demand, if one doesn’t understand that go get that algorithm.

Seems to me to be as exact as putting a wet finger in the air to see which way the wind is blowing. Absolutely no different authenticity of analysis method to any of us pulling figures out of the air. All relative valuations and all subject to weighted input delivering a list.
So right. Garbage in, garbage out.
I am not sure why we haven’t tied him down to a new contract with a buyout clause, he is the jewel in the crown, so we may aswell go to £150m with the price for Tottenham being £300m someone will buy him and for sure if the big teams feel a threat from us they will buy him to destabilise our threat, thats what happened with Leicester, Spurs, Everton etc in recent years.
