I think it’s quite accurate?

A few might be wrong?

Just made off one person's opinion.
Because our team is 90% youth academy players. So how do you actually value them.

Although its in order of what id expect with regards to biggest teams etc

It was only worth about £2 million before Barry-Murphy, but he’s proved just how good those academy lads really are. Now you’re talking players like Kapio, Ashford, Lawler, Mafico, and the Colwills being valued in the millions.

I think this is really very accurate and, with a year under the belts, with lots of wins, next year (in the Championship) these lads will be both confident and skillful - and worth substantially more.

This of course has good points and bad - the bad being that Tan might want to wait before selling.

Won't it push up the value of club as they're classed as assets and anyone buying club can sell them at big profit above price of club?

100%, the club is worth far more than it was back in May. Tan needs to back him, though. Just look at Trott, what an asset he is. Barry-Murphy won’t waste money; he’ll invest in players as assets and grow their value.

Kapacio and Lawler just call into the Welsh squad again, you can probably add a few million to £34Million.

Yes this is exactly our points on the thread about Tan not selling at start of season. He is thinking he can make good progress this season with very little outlay. And as stated likes of kpakio lawlor etc improved values. Possibly championship club next season. Bigger price.
I said back then businesses buy stock low sell high. And that's how he sees it this season
