walcott

Walcott is a fantastic player,a bolt-on certainty for Brazil next year. I would love to see him in our team, but it isn't going to happen. I would value him at £45M+.

JimmyTheRed

£45m

What on earth have you taken Jimmy. £20m tops IMO

Henderson £18M
Downing £20M

Walcott is probably £35/40M in that case

Transfer fees never have and never will work like that.

Based on the fact that Walcott (goals and assists) is one of the most productive players in the league (obviously when he isn't injured), is on a long contract, and is still young, certainly if he left tomorrow you would to start the bidding at £25m and probably end up around £35m.

He certainly isn't worth more than £20-25m, even including the English player VAT. I like Walcott but for £40-45m you expect an established world class player, which Walcott is not and never will be. I know we spunked £35m on Carroll but let's face it, any team who wants Walcott that desperately probably doesn't have that kind of money.

Castor Troy - Sturridge: £12m. Walcott is probably worth about £7m in that case.

Walcott is easily worth £35m in the current market.

He's entering his prime, is experienced at the highest level, has unteachable qualities (pace & instinctive finishing), years left on his deal and has a marketable 'look'.

Players like Lamela, Milner & Fernandinho all went for circa £30m - so TW14 is worth £35m+.

Also, he's far better than Sturridge, who's just a CFC & MCFC reject going through a purple patch. We've seen many mediocre English strikers score more heavily before: A Johnson, Marcus Stewart, K Phillips, Michael Ricketts etc.

Sturridge will keep scoring many league goals. I fear he may have a bit of Andy Cole about him when it comes to the top level. His scoring is certainly no purple patch though as when he is played he has always scored.

He could get better but I don't think he will particularly.

Sending out Sterling on loan is a terrible idea whoever we sign.

You make some good points SM it's just a shame you had to ruin it by slipping in a wum about Sturridge, hardly a reject considering City did not want to lose him and he'd walk into Chelsea's team now. Sturridge is a better striker than Walcott imo but Walcott does have other qualities as well as being more versatile. Just ask any Liverpool fan if they'd swap Sturridge for Walcott, I doubt you'll find one who would.

I guess there are too many variables when valuating players, it just sounds ridiculous considering many Arsenal fans were adamant that Suarez was worth no more than £50m in the summer. £35m? I don't see it, but I don't think it's too far fetched.
