Does every player still have a price?With the game awash with TV money, are clubs still under pressure to sell players?
Not that Boro are in a position where they will be tempted to cash in at the minute.
After winning promotion to the Premier League, Aitor Karanka and Steve Gibson's priority will be adding to the squad, not losing key players.
Which is why reports linking Newcastle United with a move for Daniel Ayala were widely laughed off this week.
The club value Ayala at £15m, according to reports.
But can you put a valuation on Boro's players before they play in the Premier League?

When Boro have a Saturday off during the football season, Anthony Vickers paces around his living room kicking his heels.But is a lack of Saturday 3pm kick-offs something we're going to have to get used to in the Premier League.
The new TV deal - coming into operation this coming season - ensures live games will be kicking off here, there and everywhere during the weekends.
But then again, how many times will Boro be on the box now they're in the Premier League? Surely it won't be a weekly occurrence like it was towards the end of the time in the Championship.
Our writers discuss the increased revenue and that new TV deal in this week's podcast.
And talk also turns to how life in the top flight will mean increased scrutiny on Aitor Karanka and the Boro squad. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

So there was an early strike for Boro with the addition of Viktor Fischer, an intriguing and exciting signing from Ajax who arrives with pedigree and admirers aplenty.And it's the kind of signing which could see Boro reaping the rewards of their scouting system, says Anthony Vickers.
He uses Victor Lindelof as an example. OK, Boro didn't get the deal over the line in January but the fact they almost signed a player for £3m who is now being linked with a £20m move to Manchester United shows the ability of Boro's scouting and recruitment team to pick out a player.
The Gazette's Boro editor Philip Tallentire believes "everything about the transfer policy at the minute is heartening".
So who else can we expect through the door this summer? And what's the time scale for signings?
Dominic Shaw is joined by Anthony, Philip and Jonathon Taylor for this week's podcast, where next year's season card prices are also on the agenda. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
