Without the usual we will sell him for nothing, what do you think he could potentially bring us? 2-5mill or 5-10? All ifs and buts but I would think after todays game and how Spurs operate, he surely will be in their minds!!
Would depend upon who we sell to. If he goes to a traditional top six side, then we should go for as big an initial fee as possible. Were we to sell to an Everton, WestHam type of club, then I’d be happier with a John Stones type of deal with appearance add ons and a decent sell on clause. It’s all academical, as the fee will be UNDISCLOSED.
I’d imagine that when he does go, we may get a slightly smaller fee with a big sell on clause. AKA John Stones. I wouldn’t want to guess a fee though. Hopefully we see him in action for us a bit more now before he does leave though.
If his deal runs out he could sign for an overseas club like Porto or Benfica for free as it would get around the compensation we would be owed for him being under 24.
I think near 10 million for Kitching and Anderson is a step in the right direction as valuing our players correctly is concerned.
That’s a rather shouty NEVER………they’ve got a lot of things wrong but the sale of recent players has been spot on
I hope we are attempting to get him under contract with a steep release clause, which might see him playing out the season here under decent money. It would not stop us taking a lower fee, with sell on, if the deal seemed right. What we do need to be doing is playing him every game now. With McAtee injured, it seems a no brainer to put him in the number 10 position. If he keeps performing he'll have a lot of offers in the summer. There's no way he'd step into a Premier League side, or the likes of Benfica, Sporting, Porto, etc at the minute. Some game time & some goals in men's football would make sense for all parties.
If we keep thinking of him as a monetary asset then it will be nominal as he'll leave in the summer. If we invest in him as a player and give him the necessary support and pathway he needs to develop then potentially we might receive a good sum in the future. Though I can see him and/or his agent asking for a percentage of any future transfer fee as a condition of signing a new contract as well as a low(ish) buy out clause and obviously there are the risks or injury and/or limited development that may further impact this.
Jalo is only 18. And he’s made their youth team look daft. I’m not saying they are going to sign him based off 1 game but I’d be surprised if they haven’t taken more notice of him now.
