What do you guys think?

Neymar and Hulk do NOT belong in that list. They are both over-priced.

Robin van Persie is also over-priced for a soon-to-be 30-year-old.

And I feel as if Luis Suarez ought to be a bit higher up the list as well. But I guess it's okay since he's not paid THAT much by Liverpool.

Sergio Busquets is a good player but he's defintitely overpriced. Just 5 million less than neymar and bale !!

@ZeShenanigans

As your name suggests, what you say is complete shenanigans. Busquets is the ultimate link between midfield and defense for Barcelona (formerly the best club in the world), and Spain (the best national team in the world). He is actually UNDERRATED in WF, and I find his price here to be completely justifiable.

I think I still can't beleive I'm on this planet 0.o

Don't mean to single any one out because i think there are plenty overpriced but 42 for Hazard?

I remember Barça sold Yaya Toure 38M to city Busquets worth at least that price, 38M could be the right price for a club like Man utd, 50M for Chelsea or Psg and 70M for Monaco :) yeaah there is no price tag on players only bargaining :).

@Tacuachillo

It's because Hazard is only 22, is paid very large sums of money by Roman, and was one of the BPL Player of the Year contenders. His raw skill and potential (as well as wage) make him worth that much. Not to mention that he was bought for 37.500.000 Euros, which shows that his transfer value is bound to increase. But @Tiki_taka, you got it spot on. If United bought RVP for 24.000.000 Pounds, PSG or Monaco would value him at 50.000.000 pounds. It's the bargaining capabilities and willingness of a club and it's owners which decide the final sum of money paid for a transfer in the end.

How in the world Lewandowski is 25th? We must in the top 10. He is not overrated, according to this he's underrated. He needs to have more value because it is his real player value. I understand that Sergio Busquets is a nice player ( a hell of a diver, though) but he is nowhere near 45million

No way... just few of those are ok price.

@expert

Lewa is 25th because he only has one year remaining on his contract, and his wages are not that high. After he moves to Bayern and signs a new contract, his price will skyrocket up. And I think I already explained above why Sergio Busquets is worth 45.000.000 Euros...

Sergio Busquets? Are you joking?

@expertfootball: My parents are polish, so i usually watch every game of the polish national team and i can tell you that Lewandowski is not underrated at all, he's actually overrated in my opinion. He always plays really, really bad for the national team, he's a completely different player than in matches of Borussia Dortmund. He depends on his teammates from BVB, but although two of them are also polish (Blaszczykowski & Piszczek), he just can't shine in the national team.

To anyone: Before you respond with "what you say is BS, he scored four times against Real Madrid" etc., I suggest you watch a match from the polish national team first. I'm also not saying that he's not good, but he's only world class for Dortmund.

@Dynastian98, calling RVP overpriced is frankly one of the stupidest things I've heard in a while. One of the biggest fallacies in football is that if a player is old, their value should be lower. Generally, that is true I admit. But RVP is a different. He was the sole reason why we won the league last year. If every club were one 24 million pound signing away from winning the league, they would sure as heck pay it no matter how old the player is. Frankly, he should be at least in the top ten given what he brings to a premier league team (30+ goals a season). And as I recall, in the 06-07 season R. Madrid signed a certain 30 year-old Ruud Van Nistelrooy for upwards of 20 million pounds to help them win La Liga. The main point is, as of right now RVP is one of the greatest assets in world football, one that United got for a bargain, and his current value is completely justified.

@Keisuke he's better than you think. Watch La Liga for once.

@TheGame

But you're not looking at the big picture here. RVP is worth (according to transfermarkt) 45.000.000 Euros. That's 39.000.000 Pounds. You're saying now that a team is willing to pay 40 million pounds for a 30-year-old striker?

How long will RVP's goal-scoring abilities last? He's not the fastest of players, and as he's approaching 30 it means that his legs will only get slower. Do you honestly think that 40 million pounds on a 30-year-old forward is worth it? NO. That's the kind of money you spend on long-term projects, like Eden Hazard or Javi Martinez. As I recall, Hazard was 21 at the time of his purchase, and Martinez 24.

RVP was 29 when United bought him for 24 million pounds. In his last season with Arsenal, he scored 37 goals in 48 games. His first season with United brought home 30 goals in the SAME NUMBER of appearances. So what does this mean? RVP is on the decline. He even had a considerably better team in United than Arsenal, and he still couldn't reach the goal-scoring heights he set with Arsenal.

You're saying that his transfer value ought to be close to 40 million pounds when he's going to score less and less goals every year? Don't be ridiculous. He ought to be worth around 20 million pounds, like RVN was when Madrid purchased him. RVP may be one of the greatest assets in WF right now, but unlike Hazard or Busquets, he's not going to get any better than this. He's past his prime.

" In his last season with Arsenal, he scored 37 goals in 48 games. His first season with United brought home 30 goals in the SAME NUMBER of appearances. So what does this mean? RVP is on the decline.

I'm sorry to butt in Dynastian (and far be it from me to defend the treacherous cretin) ... but that has to be one of the most ill-thought out responses you've ever had on here.

First off, he was the ONLY true striker in Arsenal. EVERYTHING was funneled through him up front so he obviously was going to have more goals with less competition. Moreover, Arsenal had a pretty good midfield to supply him (IMO United's isn't that superior). Lastly, scoring 30 goals in 48 games is OUTRAGEOUSLY good.

To be clear, I AGREE with your overall point that 40m pounds isn't his market value. However I disagree with your reasoning.

It's not because he will become poor since he's slowing down. He is one of the most technically gifted forwards in the world and that will help him with ageing. If anything, I think he is underrated (if that's possible). In a world where Hulk was bought for 40m pounds (albeit that's not the norm) RVP for 24m was an absolute bargain (not that he left us much of an option).

RVP's having less goals this season is not due to being on the decline. That's far from the truth. Firstly, the reason why he got less goals this season was because of the fact that United have far more proven goalscorers on their team than Arsenal. So the goal tally was spread out a bit more. Why do you think a player like Demba Ba does so well for Newcastle but is abysmal at Chelsea? It is simply because the ball went to him more often at Newcastle and there was more over-reliance. That's why looking only at the goal tally can be deceiving, because RVP had exactly 30 less shots (162 to 132), 15 less crosses (64 to 49) and still contributed 3 more assists (15 to 12) in the PL this season compared to last.

Secondly, look at the some of the highest transfer fees ever paid for a player and you'll see names like Zidane (aged 29) for 46 million pounds, Ibrahimovic for 59 million pounds (age 28), Kaka (age 27) for 56 million pounds, Figo (age 28) for 55 million pounds. These players aren't young by any means and saying that you only pay upwards of 40 million pounds for long-term projects is pretty much against the reality of this matter. When a player is worth it, he is worth it.

Lastly, no one is disputing that as you get older, your body and legs tend to slow down. What I am saying is that if you look at what RVP brings to any team in the world PRESENTLY, you can't disagree that he is worth that amount PRESENTLY. If City bought him instead, I can almost guarantee the ribbons on the PL trophy this season would have been blue.

@TheGame

Have to say, you have a solid point there. You win. :)

I'm still not fully convinced that RVP is worth that much, but your logic makes sense, and given the previous transfers, they don't seem all that bad. Except for the fact that neither Figo nor Kaka worked out very well. Ibra didn't work out because Pep didn't want him to, but he did do well with Milan and PSG. And Zidane was just Zidane. And of course, those prices were all inflated by Perez and Rossell, who bought all four of the players you mentioned. O:)

If QPR could take one player of that list, they have never been relegated excepted if it was Busquets!

TheGame and Footaholic are spot on.

He really was a steal for 24m, and not recognized enough for his technique, because he doesn't play at the Bernabeu or the Camp Nou.
