I saw, or read something about this recently. Someone wanted to hazard a guess at past players possible valuation, so I thought I would join in -- which any of you are also welcome to, such is the very nature of this, and indeed, many other forums.
Paul Allen: £8m - A far better player than he is remembered for but one who many will remember fondly. Probably a player more appreciated by his own fans and mostly ignored by all others.
Richard Gough: £20m - If only we were able to hold on to him for longer than one season. He was a fantastic player and would easily cope with football now as he did 25 years ago such was his reading of the game.
Pat van den Hauwe: £5m - Was probably better than he is given credit for but he'll always be thought of as a 'tough' tackler.
Ilie Dumitrescu: £15m - and sold for £3m within five months....or loaned back from whence he came.
Nicky Barmby: £22m at 19 - £8m at 27 - his wife was a busy bird - just saying.
That is an odd selection of players.
