Current Squad Value
So after asset-stripping
the club for more than half a decade what’s
left of the Forest squad?
Paul Smith: Signed for an undisclosed
fee. Estimate £200,000
Luke Chambers: Signed for an undisclosed fee. Estimate
£175,000
Wes Morgan: Academy graduate
Ian Breckin: £350,000
Nathan Tyson: £675,000
Scott Dobie: £550,000
Grant Holt: £300,000
Sammy Clingan: Signed for an undisclosed nominal fee.
Estimate £100,000
James Perch: Academy graduate
Junior Agogo: Signed for an undisclosed fee. Estimate
£125,000
Julian Bennett: Signed for an undisclosed fee. Estimate
£100,000
Spencer Weir-Daley: Academy graduate
Dale Roberts: Academy Graduate. Yet to make a first
team appearance
Paddy Gamble: Academy Graduate. Yet to make a first
team appearance
Brendan Moloney: Academy graduate. Yet to start a first
team game
Felix Bastians: Academy graduate.
Lewis McGugan: Academy graduate
Shane Redmond: Academy graduate. Yet to make a first
team appearance
Hamza Bencherif: Academy graduate. Yet to make a first
team apperance
Alan Power: Academy graduate. Yet to make a first team
appearance
Total Cost of Squad: £2.6 million
Now place that alongside almost
£20 million
worth of players which the club has sold off since 2001-02
season. Whatever investment Doughty has
put into the club it clearly hasn’t gone into
the squad.
Finally consider this: the Forest
squad now possibly carries the lowest value attached
to a Forest squad for more than THREE DECADES
and that ignores the rampant inflation which has distinguished
the game since.
