So, 10 games in and a very good start indeed - with us sitting pretty in 8th and I think most would've been over the moon if offered that in the summer.
I don't think we could say anyone would be now worth any less than what we bought them for, or what they were worth in the summer - it's not like anyone has had a disaster. Even Robinson has scored at Chelsea and is still getting in the Ireland team, so his 7mil valuation would probably stand.
Think it's a good time to judge players as we now have a decent yardstick of how they're taking to the Prem and proving themselves in this moneypit of a division.
In my opinion the big winners in this area are probably Baldock, Lundstram and Mousset, who'd now cost any potential buyers considerably more than they would've in the summer.
You can say all of the defence have been superb, so why aren't they worth more? Well in truth I wouldn't have taken any less than £25mil for Jack or John given what Adam Webster and Tyrone Mings went for in the summer so I can't honestly say with any conviction that they're worth more than that at this stage, in my opinion at least. Despite the fact they've took to this division like a duck to water.
Regarding in my opinion the big winners - I'd say Lundstram is the obvious one, gone from a player we'd have struggled to get a million for in the summer (and that's being generous) to what seems to be so far a very decent Premier League box to box midfielder, at 24 there is still room for growth and he is indeed two footed. I think you're looking at probably £7mil minimum if any prospective buyer came in.
Baldock, I don't need to give reasons, we've all seen his performances, £10mil minimum. Compared to (apparent) talk of £3mil bids from Celtic which would've surely been laughed out of town in the summer.
Mousse we signed for about £7mil, he'd now be a snip at the £10mil reported, probably quite a bit more.
It's nice to know how much our players are worth, I think it's a brilliant story for any young pro what can be done if you're willing to work fucking hard and put in the hard yards, even take a risk and drop down a division, in the long run you might just turn from a Brentford reserve to a £30mil Premier League proven defender.
Any more for any more?
