You forgot Victor, Moose, Kyle, Danny, Toby, Jan, Eric and Hugo!It's just incredible how much talent we have in the squad, Eriksen, Alli, Kane being the standouts
First they ridicule you, then they call you a one season wonder, then they call you a stat padding fraud, then they make up bullshit rumours because deep down they wish you played for their tinpot franchise.
Won't ever happen, so funny to laugh at.
Could pretty much name anybody in the squad. It's crazy to think how many good players we have, most complete team in my memoryYou forgot Victor, Moose, Kyle, Danny, Toby, Jan, Eric and Hugo!

Since they're being so realistic, why not take Dele, Toby, Dembele, Eriksen and Dier while they're at it, too.In the replies they're discussing getting Pochettino.
So basically they want to be us?
I honestly wouldn't take a single player of theirs except for Sanchez.So basically they want to be us?
And maybe Cech to compete with Vorm on the benchI honestly wouldn't take a single player of theirs except for Sanchez.
Here is the article. Dele Alli valued as 9th as well.....
Neymar is by far the big-5 league player with the highest transfer value. The Brazilian prodigy outranks Lionel Messi and Paul Pogba. Data presented in issue number 172 of the Weekly Post is computed by means of the exclusive CIES Football Observatory transfer value algorithm.
Since 2012, the CIES Football Observatory research team has developed a unique approach to estimate on a scientific basis the transfer value of professional football players. The statistical model through which fair prices are calculated includes multiple variables on player performance (minutes, goals, etc.) and characteristics (age, contract, etc.), as well as data on employer clubs and potential recruiting ones.
The big-5 league player with the highest estimated transfer value is Neymar: 246.8 million €. The Barcelona's forward is clearly ahead teammate Lionel Messi (170.5 M €) and Paul Pogba (155.3 M €). Ten players have an estimated value of more than 100 M €. In the top 100 list are 42 players from the English Premier League.
The highest values per position were recorded for Jan Oblak among goalkeepers (59.8 M €), Raphaël Varane among centre backs (64 M €), Héctor Bellerín among full backs (70.3 M €), Paul Pogba among central midfielders (155.3 M €), Dele Alli among attacking midfielders (110.5 M €) and Neymar among forwards (246.8 M €).
The list isn't based on individually analysing the transfer value of each player. They've looked at all major transfers done over the last 6 years in the top 5 European leagues, and developed a mathematical algorithm based on a set of different factors that can predict (apparently with 80% accuracy) the transfer fee of a hypothetical player with any given combination of the factors analysed. Then they've input the corresponding factors for all the players in their list in order to generate a prediction of their hypothetical transfer value. In Pogba's case, I guess the increase from what Utd paid is down to the fact that he's locked down to a significantly longer contract now than when they signed him and playing in a better league.Any list that values Pogba at more than Utd paid for him after yesterday lacks credibility
