All that's happened here is that someone supposedly in the know has said that he would cost Man U more than they paid for Wan-Bassika.

 

It's impossible to say what figure would clinch the deal, but at least it's heartening to know that the club have some idea of the player's value.

 

Having said that, I wouldn't sell him. For us, at this point, he's too important.

How on earth is it heartening to know that?

Well, it looks like there's no way they're going to sell him for £25m. It looks like there's a big gap between the value we place on him, and the price Man U are prepared to pay, and therefore there's some reasonable hope that we'll keep him.

[Shearergol]

Prepare for undisclosed bid to be accepted and then hidden in the accounts, which will be released a year late

[Guest chopey]

I think most of our players now have an imaginary release clause so really we HAVE to sell them, we have no choice.

Too important  he's played about 7 games and 0 goals and barely an assist? He was hardly pulling up trees in league 1 last year was he?

You've already admitted you've barely watched the lad play. He scored against Burnley as well as against Blackburn in the FA cup. He was quite often our best player during the run of games he started. He won the penalty against Man City. By all accounts he was brilliant for Blackpool.

A quick online search would have given you this information.

He is too important.  He is a local lad and the best prospect in a generation.  He is someone the fans will love and get behind - a potential world class player rising through the ranks adds a sense of pride to the fans.  This guy should be nurtured and be the heart of our team for a decade.  Instead he will be binned off for a few quid before we get to see the best of him.

Important for what.?

[Guest chopey]

He's a big bag on money like the rest of them

Fair one. I just hardly ever see anything of us these days. Thanks mike

I would seriously be so happy if every player handed in a transfer request today. Sell the lot. Don't care. Good luck to them all, they deserve a better club.

And ruin his career? Nah, he's better off somewhere else.

Precisely.

 

If I was a serious football professional (coach, physio, player, whatever) i'd look to leave NUFC. Not interested in improving at all

[Guest covmag]

Just watched his goals when on loan at Blackpool, he can hit a ball mind, looks every inch a top notch English midfielder.

 

£50 million or fuck off, not that I give a fuck mind.

I wonder which recently former poster they be?

[Decky]

If he goes for £50m+ that'll be what, £80m+ already on transfer fees plus the TV money. We're fucking loaded and we'll spend fuck all. If Ashley buys another dead high street chain I'll be fucking fuming. Draining our club to buy Game and Debenhams ffs.

Man U would be crackers to pay £50 million

Yet people still say hes not funneling money out of NUFC to buy these failing businesses

[Robster]

They made OGS Manager so anything is possible.

[BlueStar]

It's strange that the club do seem to understand the current market for players means that the like of Perez and Longstaff command fees of over £30m.  Strange they completely forget this knowledge when it comes to incoming players.

[Decky]

I disagree. He's a young talented English player who looked extremely comfortable in the Premier League last season even scoring a goal in the short amount of games he played. He has all the makings of a future England international.

 

Now I don't agree that he's worth £50m on a pure player quality level as he is so raw right now, but in this market clubs just simply aren't going to sell a player like this for less than that, so if Man Utd want him that's what they have to pay. Its a gamble for them but if he stays here he either won't work out or he will improve and be worth much more than £50m and might potentially leave to a rival.

 

Also, we have to remember that £50m is fuck all to Man Utd in the grand scheme of things.

even to man utd £50m is a fair chunk of money and to pay that for someone with less than 10 premier league appearances would be utterly insane

[jackyboy]

Apparantly he is 'deeply upset' about Rafas departure and is looking at his future

I doubt the likes of Brentford could afford him.
