KaKa Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I like the move for McCormack. I like to see someone coming of a great year in the Championship, get a chance in the premier league. However, this is usually impossible, because their prices sky rocket, especially as they are usually from these shores. McCormack is in the last year of his deal though, and so his price seems reasonable as it's looking like somewhere between £6 and £8 million, which is fair I think. He's only 27 too, which is a good age. I wouldn't be against it, but we'd still need one more upfront. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 £6-8m is a fair price for a decent Championship striker almost out of contract? You're clinically insane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 He's not nearly out of contract like, it literally states it in the article although reading (and names) aren't as easy as they used to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillClinton Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Is he actually a striker? Thought he played more in a Nolan-type role.. He seems like one of those players who is too good for the championship but not good enough for the premier league. I'd rather go for Ings or Rhodes - if we have to buy an British player from the championship, I'd rather it be someone young... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heake Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 If the club aren't (Which they probably aren't) going all out to sign a proven top quality centre forward then they can tinker around with all the young up and coming hopefuls & lower league gambles till the cows come home....we will be relegated. Still, a couple of Leon Bests / Luque gambles will almost certainly be the order of the day come the end of August. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midstoon Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Wolves are after him aswell so he must be quality if such as Wolves are interested in him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 £6-8m is a fair price for a decent Championship striker almost out of contract? You're clinically insane. Exactly. 2.5 million tops I would say. Plus if we are interested I would imagine the contract situation is what's attractive to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 £6-8m is a fair price for a decent Championship striker almost out of contract? You're clinically insane. He was top scorer in the Championship last year, and is British, and so £6 to £8 million would be about what you'd expect to pay nowadays, yes. This is just reality, because typically anything British comes at a greater cost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just reality, because typically anything British comes at a greater cost. It's really not. He's soon to be 28 and the season before last he scored single figures, he has very little chance of improving as a player and Leeds are in a financial crisis. I think they would take anything around £3m for him and possibly even less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuy_O Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Wickham was young, highly rated, and you could argue the mackems were fleeced. Ross McCormack isn't worth 8mil , nor should he be valued at that imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Surely it's easy to see the difference in Wickham when he was bought and McCormack now. Age, potential, nationality are all of what Wickham had on his side that inflated his transfer fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
