I'm not sure how many of you get involved with the site (transfermarkt.de/transfermarkt.co.uk), but it's very useful for all kind of stats. There have been some updates today and according to that our complete squad is now worth around €685m. For comparison, before Poch arrived, it was valued at around €300m. Of course, it's down to inflation as well, but it's great to see, and this is my opinion, that we actually have some of the world's best players in our team at the moment. And it's not just Kane.

Here are all the new values (in €): Tottenham Hotspur - Vereinsprofil

The 'big winners' are:
  • Sanchez; up to €35m
  • Dier; up to €40m
  • Wanyama; up to €30m
  • Winks; up to €15m
  • Dele; up to €80m
  • Eriksen; up to €70m
  • Son; up to €35m
  • Kane; up to €120m
 
Value is subjective, and anyway treating it as unitary is obsolete. each good has a WTP and WTA value, I would pay 15mil for Winks but be willing to sell for nothing short than 25mil.
 
Sanchez 'up to' 35m... when we paid 42m for him already?

What these sites and blogs don't understand is that a players' value is exactly what somebody is willing to pay for them. Not some mathematical formula...

The problem with sites like this is they will always lag behind the true market value - prices are increasing and they haven't worked out a proper way to account for that. They merely use comparative historical data with performance data to approximate value. This is evident in their valuation charts for individual players, not so coincidentally most times when a player sells to a big club there's a significant correction to their value to reflect the price they were sold for. If they were truly able to calculate a player's value on the market, there would be no correction needed.

Here they've tried to mask the correction to Sanchez's value by marking a significant uptick to his value at the time of the sell as part of his "Ajax" time. But if you look at that his value has nearly tripled since he last turned out for Ajax, clearly he isn't worth 3 times what he was in May based on what he's done at Spurs - he'd have to be turning in world XI performances for that kind of uptick. Instead, he's moved for a hefty fee and now plays in a top league - more of a known quantity, so they've corrected his value.

For comparison sake, it's relatively interesting and occasionally useful. But they've no real way of calculating a player's real world value.
 
This week's CIES Football Observatory has 7 of our players (Kane, Alli, Eriksen, Dier, Son, Sanchez, Alderweireld) in the top 100 of transfer values, calculated according to their own criteria. Based on their measuring, these seven players are worth a combined total of over €750m! (~£664m at time of writing.)
