Thinking about Mainoo's predicament, where he needs midfielders around him on or even above his level, the thought of just how much such players would cost crossed my mind. Following on from that, the thought of how much Kobbie himself would be valued at by the club loomed large.
Our standing has plummeted since the last time one of these threads was done (that I can remember), so I wondered what our entire squad would be valued at by our own fans in the middle of this catastrophic season. If we opened up the squad to open bidding, how much do you think each player is currently worth?
