Is what I reckon they'd each go for now
My guestimates.
Gomez = £50m (City paid £61m for Dias who is a fixture in the Portuguese side and Gomez' stock has dropped slightly after some indifferent performances back end of last and beginning of this season. Will rise again if he shows he performs well without VVD)
Lookman = £15m (re-building career and has to prove he can do it consistently but Leipzig won't want to take too big a hit on the £22.5m they paid))
Grant = £15m (what WBA paid for him)
Konsa _ £20m (will still only be 23 in a few days time and has been instrumental this season in Villa keeping four clean sheets this season)
Aribo - £10m (established himself in the SPL)
And we actually got
Pope. £1M. (Plus sell on worth £6m if sold for the above)
Gomez. £3.5M
Grant. £4M. (inc sell on 20%)
Konsa. £1.5M
Aribo. £0
Total £18M (plus Pope sell on). So somewhere between 10-15% of their value today.
In a couple of years time you can lob in the zero fees for, Abraham, Sarmiento, Kasey Palmer, Taylor and that keeper that passed through (although maybe he was on loan?) who is now playing in Champions League. Plus low fees for Phillips and Gudmundsson and possible Doughty too if he does not resign.
What a miserable load of transfers. Appreciate we are L1/Championship at time of transfers but we should have been aiming for 30-50%.
Pope for example was decent for us, but never in a million years did I think he was England quality, so some of that has to be because of improvement he's made at Burnley
I've long excepted that we will never be able to keep a top quality player these days. But to give them away as we have been doing for the last 10 years is crazy.
Lets hope TS can get a grip on this soon.

Stephens (Burnley)
Aribo ( Glasgow)
Taylor (Notts Forest ), M.Smith (Rotherham)
Bonne (QPR)
I defer to others on the valuations but 21 of 29 departures were under Duchatelet and ESI. I include Bonne and Phillips who were effectively sold to the inherited situation.
Just 8 pre date their involvement.
The list excludes the likes of Kermorgant, Elliott, who have retired or are unattached
Mr Jackson, I believe, will have been in the building for 23/ 24 of those transactions.

Gomez - Konsa - Ajayi
Gallagher - Gudmunson - Shelvey - Stephens - Lookman
Grant - Kane
Subs : Randolph - Werner - TAA - Robertson
appreciate there's a few non Charlton faces in there but i couldn't fill the squad, annoyingly I can't have field in as there are already 3 west brom players too..lets see how we get on this season
I wouldn't include Bonne as a Roland/ESI sale though, that was Bowyer's choice as the player was under contract for another 2 years, and we didn't need the money. Ditto Stevenson, who we could have kept on
Stephens and Hamer are both the fault of the Spivs for letting their contracts run down. Henderson is only in the PL as a non playing 3rd keeper, I wouldn't pick him over Amos
Where we've been terrible is managing contracts and getting good fees, as all non PL sides lose lots of players. Sheffield United produced and sold Kyle Walker, Maguire and Calvert-Lewin. They got £2.5m for Maguire and £1.5m for Calvert-Lewin
