I read a few weeks ago that Monaco fans were saying they got the better deal. They would rather have Silva than YT. I don't think we are going to spend 40M on one player so fingers crossed they do rate Silva at 15/20M. I don't think his game is suitable for the Prem and he needs to move on for the sake of both parties, so lets hope a deal can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They paid £20+ million for him, any release clause if there is one would be about double minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we're certain to make a loss on Silva, but the positives are: It enables us to sign Tielemans; we get some money back on Silva; it releases his not insubstantial wages which we spend on a new signing.

Don't think he's far off worth £15m to be honest, they paid £11m for Chadli and got £12m from us for a player they didn't even want. £15m is more than doable IMO.

Droo33 Posted 24 May 2019 Share Posted 24 May 2019 I know there’s a Premiership premium, but surely Monaco think Silva is worth more to them than Tielemans and vice versa. Why are we undervaluing Silva so much? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to consider the human element though. Silva is right for monaco as much as tielemans is right for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all fairness if the market value of Tielemans is £60 million, then a 50 - 50 split giving Monaco £30 million for Tielemans plus Silva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The £40m figure has cropped up in recent months. The club always knew from the moment of signing him in January that £40 million was the figure - it's one of the few and only bits of information I managed to get from someone at the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are we undervaluing Silva so much? You've got to consider sell-on value. Silva is 30 so his sell-on value is essentially zero - Monaco won't be able to sell him and he'll see out his contract before moving on. Any valuation at this stage is a completely sunk cost for them. On the other hand, Tielemans is young with a bright future. There's a high chance that he ends up getting sold in a few years for even more than we would have paid for him. In the long run this transfer could end up earning us money. With that in mind, valuations have to be moved up/down a little to compensate. ~£10m for Silva seems fair given the situation, but assuming that a swap is going to be part of the deal then the financials can become fairly complicated Game Theory as both clubs try to maximise their gain from the deal. Add-ons complicated that even further. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeg67 Posted 24 May 2019 Share Posted 24 May 2019 I agree with Xen. All things being equal, I think a 10 million valuation for Silva seems very much reasonable. And if Monaco don't see it that way and don't play ball on Tielemans, take Silva back and get some use out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 24 May 2019 Share Posted 24 May 2019 The thread that keeps on giving. Tielemans is worth so much more to us because he works in our system but he didn't in Monaco's. Silva is not worth so much more to them because he works in their system and he didn't in ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahnsouff Posted 24 May 2019 Share Posted 24 May 2019 Can we rename this thread to the "Tielemans (My opinion is better than yours)" thread Bit long, but a damn sight more accurate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
