Erm, what rising assets, Defoe, Davis,King, Arfield??? I could go on but your team is stuffed with loanees & aged players with no resale value, as are my mob but we have no debts & have a creditworthy BOD living within our means. Granted, Morelos seems to have screwed the nut & will be worth a fortune if he keeps it up but you really need to take a dispassionate look at what is going on at your club and evaluate accordingly.
The age of balance of our squad is pretty good. 28 players and an average of 27 with a good spread of ages. Yes we have some older players but they are all contributing significantly. The players contracted further than next season have an average age of 24 which must be one of the youngest squads in the league.
Rising assets is indisputably true. We aren't comparing our squad to that of Leicester City or RB Salzburg but just ourselves 6/12/18/24 months past. We had 7 players on loan last season. This time only 3. We've basically replaced those loan players with younger players on permanent signings. Helander and Edmundson for Worrall and McAuley. Aribo and Kamara for Coulibaly and Ejaria. Kent on a permanent with Kent on loan. That's going to increase the value of the squad on it's own. Then on top of that it's clear that there are players we already had who will be worth more with Morelos the clearest example.
