Current contract, age, league, position, is the player in your plans or unwanted, then you stick all that into a pot and pull a number out your bottom. Dont get me wrong being a full international at a top country will help increase value but Ireland are not that. Wasn't long ago Conor Sammon was a regular in their squad. FIFA rankings are a horrendous way showing the top countries, as of now Chile are 4th and Columbia 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIFA rankings are a horrendous way showing the top countries, as of now Chile are 4th and Columbia 5th. So when one of players gets an international call we shouldn't really bother getting excited about that unless it is for England, France, Germany, Argentina or Brazil - is that what you are suggesting? I accept all the factors you suggest are relevant. Richard Keogh is an established international who has captained his country are you suggesting that should not also impact? If the FIFA rankings are a horrendous way of showing the top countries I will ask again, what criteria would you suggest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking about Keogh's valuation and what I am saying is playing for Ireland won't effect his valuation. He's almost a 31 year old Championship defender, comparing him to Flint is pointless. We have no idea if Rowett even wants to sell which also effects the valuation. Top countries are easy to spot, they have squads of players that compete at the top level. Germany, France, Italy England, Argentina, Brazil, squads full of players in playing at the top level, Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and the Champions League. Ireland have a squad full of Championship players, a couple of friendlies which Keogh has captained. Coleman is the captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just thinking about his age. We payed similar for Jason Shackell after he had a fantastic season in the Premier League, albeit as part of a relegated Burnley side.

No, I'm just wondering how much his 15 games for Ireland played a part in your valuation. I'm in danger of looking anti Irish in this thread which isn't the case, I have 0.01% Irish blood I believe, Grandads Dad think it it was, that makes me eligible to Captain them as well. Just trying to drag you down with me basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
