How would toures value compare to big 5 strikers?

 

[patjennings]

With Robertson omitted and several recent national team defections — developments I believe many fans are deeply unhappy about — Popovic has placed significant pressure on himself. If Australia fail to progress from the group, his position should come under serious scrutiny. Longer term, I fear the team will be weaker as a result of what I see as a series of baffling decisions.

When I look at the current squad - the defence was built by Arnold, the attack by Veart and Popovic has bastardised the midfield. I still think we can get out of the group but further progression depends on the position.

Add 50 million if Circati were Italian. Transfermarkt is flawed and a rough indicator as good as a horse form guide.

Would have been some birthday present for Segecic if Popa wasn't a stubborn mule...

Interesting to note the sudden change in Sega's value once he transitioned into a Croat.

Bos at only 12m is a fucking joke.

Bos at only 12m is a fucking joke.

Jordan Bos should see his market value increase next season when he's playing Champions League football with Feyenoord though.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Jason Geria out of those. He's not a bad player and I think he could do better but he's currently playing in the J2 League. Ideally our squad should all be playing consistently well at the highest level possible (meaning Max Balard, Dan Bennie, Alex Robertson, Zac Sapsford and Ante Šuto should all have been included in the final squad).

Alex Robertson definitely should have been included in the final playing list for the Socceroos given his remarkable form for Cardiff City this season in addition to the fact that he ranks highly in chance creation so will be good at progressing the ball downfield as a playmaker.

How would toures value compare to big 5 strikers?

Using some random examples:

Hwang Hee-chan	Wolves (Premier League)	South Korea	€8,000,000
Mo Touré	Norwich (Championship)	Australia	€4,000,000
Toni Martínez	Alavés (La Liga)	Spain	€4,000,000
Rob Glatzel	Hamburg (Bundesliga)	Germany	€1,500,000
Andrea Belotti	Cagliari (Serie A)	Italy	€1,500,000
Alimami Gory	Paris FC (Ligue 1)	France	€1,200,000

Interesting players to compare to the socceroos' players

Khusanov Man city CB & Uzbekistan

Circati is about €10 m ( latest update in March)


Ueda (striker)- Eredivisie top scorer (25 goals) & Japan

Jordan Bos is €12 m


Chris Wood (Striker)- Forrest's main striker in EPL & New Zealand

Mo Toure is € 8 m

Mo Toure is € 8 m

The last two are both much older than Mo Touré so there's a good chance he comes close or even surpasses them in the future.

Interesting Socceroos legends


Mark Viduka's highest market value is €16 m in 2004
Maybe equivalent to €90 m in today


Harry Kewell highest market value is €20 m in 2004
Maybe equivalent to €120 in today

***
1.Ronaldinho (Highest in 2004 €50 m)
2. R9 :€45 m


Tim Cahill highest market value is €16 m in 2009
Maybe equivalent to €60 m in today

I think Beach, Borrello and it's got to be Geria, Rowles or Degenek.

I'll be livid if we drop Devlin.

I agree, if he drops Devlin, it will be so disheartening, considering the other non-selections Popa has made.

 

[Mr Cleansheets]

This season he is an above average player on a mid table team in Eerste division.
He could be underrated, get picked and do really well. But it isn't baffling and it isn't a Popa thing. A selection from this team, in this league would be a surprise.

Popa watched Nizzy dismantle his Victory team in the second half of the AL GF three seasons ago. The same season he was Johnny Warren medalist and led the Mariners to a treble including an Asian trophy. He had just been picked a couple of times by Arnie and immediately changed the game when he came on against (I think) Indonesia.

He's playing in those lesser leagues because he's had to prove the doubters wrong (regarding his height) his entire career - but the OS doubters can be forgiven as they'd not seen first hand what he's capable of - especially with other decent players around him.

Popa has, and the fact he's not featured in any team under Popa is a national disgrace.

CRISTIAN FUCKING VOLPATO IS IN THE TRAIN-ON SQUAD WTFFF

CRISTIAN FUCKING VOLPATO IS IN THE TRAIN-ON SQUAD WTFFF

Football Australia has lodged all the necessary paperwork to FIFA and received a release letter from the Italian federation, which means now we just play the waiting game for Volpato to jump ship and lock him in to the green and gold jersey for life.

 

[Bbouy]

That is a massive win for us, after losing McGree and Segecic.

Volpato is exactly who we need.

Sassuolo's final game against Parma a few days ago, Circati must've had a word.

The Socceroos just got a lot better...
