Ryan Kent's Valuation

[ranger_syntax 3,777]

Recent discussion has got me wondering.

 

What valuation, based on performance so far, should we place on Ryan Kent?

[Bill 13,717]

The difference between his purchase price + salary and his likely resale value is probably already quite neutral, suggesting he's been worth as much as nothing so far. 

 

(It's a joke ffs)

When on form, 2nd best player in league behind Alfredo. As for his value, better reviewed at end of season when the prizes have been handed out. 

 

Given his injuries, his season has been stop start but seen enough to tell me he can develop into a very special player and hopefully one that can help us win honours going forward.

No need to be so patient.

Like all players he's only worth what another club is prepared to pay

I'd suggest it's went up slightly.

 

£7m or thereabouts for the lad was a big outlay given he's still largely unproven.  However, he's shown again since returning from injury when he first arrived that he's capable of top quality play and can score very important goals.  There are some very good players in this Rangers team but Kent excites me the most when he's on form.

 

Sure he's still far from the finished article: he needs to improve his decision-making on the ball, improve his shooting and try to avoid dropping too deep in games but I think those  virtues will come with more experience and his value will rise incrementally as a result.

 

There's arguably a middle ground to be found between signing a Jones or a Barker for free compared to £7m for an unfinished player like Kent but sometimes I'd suggest the bigger fee is worth it as the eventual sale will be bigger.

Not to sure about his Peaky blinders haircut though ✂️
