Lush Vlad Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 On 29/01/2025 at 19:16, SteV said: Need to remember he’s only got 18 months left on his contract. His value is already depreciating. Expand Yeah. Can’t imagine he’d be worth much in the summer? I find it really hard to gauge what he is worth. As I am terrible at knowing what the going rate is these days and all transfers sound stupidly expensive to me. Like I haven’t adjusted from 2005 My view is perhaps somewhat skewed. As I don’t particularly rate him. But even then, you look at what other players have gone for. £12m does seem low. Especially when you factor in the amount of minutes he has had at this level, recently playing regularly for a team that finished 4th and 7th, CL games, PL goals etc. I also feel like we have outgrown him. To the point where recently, he seems to have fallen behind Miley and Willock in the pecking order and is now 6th choice CM. Albeit that is based on a very small sample size. Not to say his skillset wouldn’t be of more use elsewhere. I think he’d be a great fit for how Everton play. But I can already hear the Everton seagulls booing. If people think our fans are toxic at times towards him. Then imagine what they’ll be like when he decides to dive instead of making a decision or when he passes straight to the opposition for the second or third time in quick succession Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to be aiming for 20-25m imo. Expand It’s a double edged sword.

Smal Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 he’s been getting the Almiron frozen out treatment for about 6 weeks now hasn’t he? If we can get £12m for him now it’s probably worth taking because he’ll not get a fee at all come summer if his appearances are limited to 5 minutes every fortnight.

SAK Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Would be nice if our owners applied some joined up thinking regarding their “asset”. Other clubs happy for us to be held back but our owners keep helping them out by signing their players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

janpawel Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 If we sold Longstaff, I'd love it we managed to get Angel Gomes on a free We have an abundance of physicality in midfield, but he would give us a different dynamic in possession, I'm thinking when we play teams at home who sit back where the likes of Longstaff / Joelinton etc aren't as effective Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Kalvin Phillips cost West Ham £7-8m for a season loan on massive wages. Think he cost Ipswich £9m on loan with more to pay to make permanent. Longstaff probably cost you 1/3 the wages of Phillips so more could go into the fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
