fuchsntf Posted 13 May 2017 Posted 13 May 2017 If Weller and Worthington, were worth £100, 000. Then £98,000 for either Vardy or Mahrez..!!!.. Seriously though, these last 3 season, media and agents have been hyping the price. 90 mil for Pogba is silly...... 3 yrs ago 18-22 mil, might of been acceptable for Riyad. Now 50-60mil will be the price they might be touting . Squad/ fringe players, will now be costing 12-14 mil. A top CB, but still with no proven history 25mil. The clubs are letting themselves be dictated too. Again the smaller clubs in top divisions will suffer... Then we fans expect silly money for our own players.. then want, to buy players for next to nothing....!!!!!

Guest MattP Posted 13 May 2017 Posted 13 May 2017 He's probably the most talented and gifted player we have had. In today's market it's somewhere between 55-70million I'd say.
Samilktray Posted 13 May 2017 Posted 13 May 2017 Start the bidding at £70million but we need to do everything we can to keep the little magician.
fazzyfox Posted 13 May 2017 Posted 13 May 2017 We may be biased but last season he was the most exciting dribbler in the league. This season Hazard has rewoken, Mahrez has not been as effective as last season but I maintain part of the problem is that we're used to knowing what he can do and take it for granted, if he was a new £400,000 signing with his touch and skill we'd be raving about him again. I would offer as Exhibit A Stirlings transfer fee along with a DVD of Last seasons Man City away match. That gives the 65-70 million figure credibility. I would also use the logic that if a top six club want him to improve their sides flair players options they would need to spend more than 30 million to do so at a time where 15-20 million signings are appearing to be average functional footballers without the guilt edge, imagination, match changing....magic that Mahrez is capable of. It would be less harmful for us if he went abroad, if he is to go it would ideally be as early in the window as possible and hopefully with no nonsense - the reaction to being subbed at West Brom looked a little staged to me, he had been subbed at that stage in that kind of situation (hanging on to a slim lead) before, it was not a reflection of his having just missed a chance or his performance, whilst it's good to see he doesn't want to come off the fact the press incorporated it with his "wanting to leave" story in the following days it fealt like an agent reccomended stunt. If it was natural why had we not seen it before?
Finnegan Posted 13 May 2017 Posted 13 May 2017 You lot are going to be so disappointed when we sell Mahrez for only 5m more than we spend on Ben Gibson.
ROB-THE-BLUE Posted 13 May 2017 Posted 13 May 2017 I can see him going for £35-40m. We need to call in another Sven favour and get the Chinese involved to bump the price up!
Nick Posted 13 May 2017 Posted 13 May 2017 He's worth probably £50 million in the current market but I bet we sell him for 35-45. We'll spend 25 on Gibson and if we land Siggurdson that'll likely cost us 30!

pSinatra Posted 13 May 2017 Posted 13 May 2017 I think Shakey saying stuff about "no gentleman's agreement" is a warning to other clubs, that we are not interested in selling - but if we are, then you're going to have cough up. Spurs have a stadium to pay for & look like they may be losing some players themselves. Arsenal are twats, will want him on the cheap & won't be winning anything anytime soon. Man U, Man City, Liverpool & Chelsea all have more money than sense. I think we would be prepared to sell for silly money. He's inconsistent, but he's a match winner & that doesn't come cheap. We should start the bidding at £50 million.
ithuriel Posted 13 May 2017 Posted 13 May 2017 We should not play games, if anyone comes in for him and he is interested, tell them straight up a minimum of £60 million with an upfront payment of 50%.
LcFc_Smiv Posted 13 May 2017 Posted 13 May 2017 Above all this topic just shows how ludicrous the amount of money being thrown around in football is.
ZeGuy Posted 13 May 2017 Posted 13 May 2017 if he played like last season and with the insane prices on the market, I'd say £65-70M. Now I'd value at £35-40M top. It all depends on how the clubs who want him, see it. Either a good player to reinforce an (already) good squad or a star in the making who had an off season for various reasons. One is certain, he's actually got no chance to make it to the starting XI of a team like Barca.
Richmondfox Posted 13 May 2017 Posted 13 May 2017 £45m should be the starting value to get a bidding war going and add a sell on and add plenty of bonus targets like Monaco did with Martial. If it's a big European club we should also get a look at their players on loan. At least his agent isn't Mino Raiola as we would've been stiffed by now. I'm glad that he stayed this season and showed loyalty when he could've jumped at the first chance. I'm sure he feels that he will have to move on now and as much as I don't want him to go I understand.
mozartfox Posted 13 May 2017 Posted 13 May 2017 In Rudkin we trust. Fear not he will negotiate some ridiculous fee.
Danizen Posted 13 May 2017 Posted 13 May 2017 1 hour ago, st albans fox said: the way things are done nowadays, his agent will be negotiating with interested parties and they will put together the deal. it will involve a chunky s/o fee, a big wage (150k/week) and a nice dollop of dosh for the agent for delivering the player to the buying club. And then there is us - the selling club. We will be told what the fee is. in effect, the agent will have been told what budget the buying club have placed on the player for a four year deal. The agent will work out what is left over for the fee. By putting the deal together himself, the agent will have avoided several clubs becoming involved in an 'auction' which would benefit the selling club. This is the way it's done nowadays so that the player and agent benefit rather than the selling club. We then have to start playing hardball to get that raised. If the buying club will not move on their four year budget then the agent has to eek out the extra money by reducing salary and fees accordingly. Clearly that isn't going to end up being much more than five million. we can refuse to sell - as per stones to chelski , but keeping a player that doesn't want to be here is not going to do anyone any good. The owners would not do this with Riyad. I reckon we will do well to get 40m and it's possible it could be 35m. The lower it is, the more likely it is to end up being undisclosed at the time. We will get to find out in the end though. There is a small chance that a second club might come in late to try and hijack any deal with a bigger fee but it's unlikely to succeed as the player will want to go where he has the best deal arranged. sadly this is the reality of modern football where the player and the agent generally hold all the cards. And if that isn't enough of a slap in the face, we'll still have to pay Mahrez his loyalty bonus as he never technically asked for a transfer.
WinslowFox Posted 13 May 2017 Posted 13 May 2017 If Palace can slap a £40m price tag on Zaha, if we were to get less than £60m for Mahrez in this market, I would be gutted, let's not forget he is also a Premier League Champion
m4DD0gg Posted 13 May 2017 Posted 13 May 2017 No doubt we will get mugged off like always on players. Makes you think about our club. We have great fans, great team (currently), great owners but the bit in the middle that handles the player acquisition and divestment from a financial perspective is abysmal.
sdb Posted 13 May 2017 Posted 13 May 2017 Really difficult one. My housemates pissed themselves when I said he's worth more than £35 mill. I think we'll end up losing him for less than we think he's worth (sub 40) but of course in comparison to Sterling, Carroll, Sissoko, Fellaini fees he's clearly worth more than that. Will he and his agent allow us to play hard ball though?
murphy Posted 13 May 2017 Posted 13 May 2017 8 hours ago, themightyfin said: Funny how now everyone wants stupid money for him When all season so many people here here have been slating him all season. It is because he is such a brilliant player that people have been riding him hard this season. People want to see the Mahrez of last year that ripped the league up. We know he can do it. A penny less than 45mn and we will have been royally shafted. I would hope for more though.
crisp packet Posted 13 May 2017 Posted 13 May 2017 If Keane, deeney ,Gibson etc are valued at 30million for doing absolutely nothing other than being young English premier league players? Bolasise 25m sane 35m Foreign with premier pedigree. Done nothing again . Champions league experience , premier winner marherz 35m 10 goals 7 assists this season? Former PFA player of the year, current African player of the year.. Got to be valued at £50 -£55 million. Well get 35-40 joke!
foxy boxing Posted 13 May 2017 Posted 13 May 2017 He is worth upwards of forty million but whether we would get that, our best hope is a bidding war between clubs but he must be one of the bargains of all time at just £400,000 for what we have got out of him in the last few years.

st albans fox Posted 13 May 2017 Posted 13 May 2017 All of you talking about 'bidding wars' - didn't you read my post?? They don't happen any more. The agents are in control.
