Beth Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 6 minutes ago, Pata said: To Saudi Arabia? Nah. Neves is the most comparable player age-wise but he only had a year left on his contract and went for close to £50m iirc. Rumoured £40m for Fabinho too but ASM isn't a DMF but one of the most exciting wingers to watch in Europe in his prime. Too inconsistent and too injury prone to be worth anywhere near £50m.

Robbo2 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) Not a massive fan of this, but then again my favourite over the last decade is comfortably HBA - so I've got a soft spot for a troubled genius. Players like ASM make football interesting (particularly the Bruce years), so it's sad to see them move on, even if it's for the benefit of the team Edited July 18, 2023 by Robbo2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we would pay for him if he played for Brentford doesn't mean anything. If you can't see how we should be getting £50m for him from SA, I don't know what else to say.

Nope, that’s not how it works. PL will be all over this deal. What’s his fair market value? One of the most exciting wingers in Europe, should be about £70m?

Wouldn’t be surprised if eventually undisclosed depending on if we do Barnes deal before he is sold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqen Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Isn't Diaby rumoured to be going under £50m to Saudi? £50m is a lot for an injury prone player with 13 goals in 4 years. You'd hope for £35m if that's what we are paying for Barnes. Gives 30+m in profit in terms of FFP which is quite handy for this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 £30 million is about right, although I understand the disappointment of those who thought Saudi Arabia were going to sign him to pump extra money in to the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was PIF and they are spending close to £40-50m a piece for Neves and Fabinho, I would absolutely think £70m for ASM would be fair value and bit of a steal considering what they try to achieve with their league. Once again, I don't think anyone cares to watch it to see slow as fuck Fabinho injure players in midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobsonsWonderland Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Did someone say if we sell him for £40 million it allows us to buy 3 x £40 million players? If that's the case just buy him back as one of the £40 million pound players in a few weeks time... Hell let's just say £25 million buy back for laughs and giggles!

Barnes23 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 That's why a realistic medium would be 40m like I mentioned the other day. Will be disappointed if we don't at least raise that figure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) £30 million to £35 million is about right, but we should push for £40 million. Edited July 18, 2023 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
