DKD - £3 million.

Selling DKD and the other players we'd get cash for then giving some of the money to the current DoF and recruitment team to rebuild the squad will lead to L2
The chairman may as well make a pile of the cash in the center circle at Oakwell and set fire to it and save the bother of waiting all summer for Sormaz to waste it.

 

Plus he is a 3rd division striker who will be 28 at the start of the new season.
Odds on teams will know our financial position and will cash in.
We have done this previously to other teams.

 

That, or Rob Staton and Andy Giddings know about a deal already being in place and the value of it …

 

Correct, there also aren't many championship clubs awash with the figures sine are quoting prepared to take a punt on someone who hasn't played above the 3rd tier.
Sense of realism required.

 

And this is where clubs need to remind players what a contract is! I personally would be sticking out details in the press that he's going nowhere for any less than £5m and rather than bring in absolute turd players on £3000 per week, I would make him captain and increase his wages - I would rather have DKD on £9000 a week than 3 bang average ones on £3000 p/w - we need to build a squad around such as him

 

Here we go again...

 

Given the alleged estimated £10million loss i'd say that any bid for any player at the club will be considered.

 

This is obviously speculation, rumour etc. But were it to prove truthful, I don’t think you could complain about a profit of that size. Nobody who has watched him over the last nine months will want him to depart, but the club must get back to that previously successful strategy of buying players to make three and four times the profit on within 12 to 24 months.

That goes for any of the others who may attract interest too.

 

Seems to me someone has thrown some seed down for the birds to start pecking.

 

That's a fair point when you put it like that!

 

Let's be honest...if you was DKD would you want to stay or move to a better club for more money.

 

I thought we over paid in the summer and thankfully I was wrong. The joy with DKD - apart from the goals - is he's still learning and it appears he wants to improve and I feel he ended the season a better player especially his work without the ball. I think there is more to come.

We're in a good position, as he's under contract and I think we should try and offload other players first, but I'll understand if we need to sell him though I think the starting price should be £5M.

 

Don't forget, Mansfield will probably have a 50% sell on clause.

 

I agree but we are desperate for cash and other clubs know that.

 

Usually Agents

 

I have been looking into it and there is no mention or suggestion of a sell on clause.

 

£3million sounds about right, but don’t expect any of that to be reinvested into the squad via transfer fee’s. Maybe a a very small percentage for wages, no thanks to the board’s incompetence over the last few years.

 

If you ask for £10M, you might get £8M.

Ask for £3M, you might get £2.4M
