Popular Post Finn Claw II Posted 20 July 2025 Popular Post Posted 20 July 2025 Start him in the championship, West Ham or some other team will buy him for a decent amount near the end of the window. Same with Bilal. Don’t sell out saleable assets who are probably on reasonable salaries for cheap. Faes, Coady, Vesty, Soumane, Kristiansen, BDR - take what you can get for them and move on. 7

But both seasons he’s tailed off after Christmas, and has had a few injuries already whilst here. Considering the mess we’re in with ffp and the fact keepers don’t really go for a lot 20m + say 5 mil for appearances etc and a sell on would be excellent business for where we are 4

Popular Post Big_Nige Posted 20 July 2025 Popular Post Posted 20 July 2025 If losing Mads means we’re not then pressured to sell Bilal then I’ll happy accept it’s time for him to go. Jakub is more then ready to be our number 1 But the short memory of some posters amaze me. Granted he was not the same after he returned early from injury last season. But prior to him going off in the Newcastle away game he was performing heroics week in week out, and he was by far the best keeper in the championship the season before. He’s a very good shot stopper and is very good with the ball at his feet. Keepers with those attributes are few and far between 21

A poor season in the Championship would mean he wouldn’t go for anywhere near what he will now, same with BEK, and that’s a huge risk for us in our situation. Sadly it’ll be the right time to sell, but will likely mean we miss his big transfer unless we put in a sell on fee. 1
st albans fox Posted 21 July 2025 Posted 21 July 2025 Good negotiating tactic to offer the loan with obligation as the starting point. Makes no difference to them on their accounts if the cost of the loan is 20% of the amortised value. However, it makes a massive difference to us and they know it. so they’ll offer a few million less to do the deal now and tell us choose between the two options. 1
Claudio Fannieri Posted 21 July 2025 Posted 21 July 2025 Looks to be gathering momentum, hopefully permanent deal sorted this week and this gives us some bandwidth to start moving a few both in and out of the club. 1
Jazzy_Jeff Posted 21 July 2025 Posted 21 July 2025 I’d say £30m is about right. Can see him doing well there and then getting a bigger move so a sell-on is an absolute must. Jakub, Begovic and youth team keepers would be strong enough for the coming season. 1

I don't think we'll get £30m. Yesterday it was being said Hammers only wanted to spend £20m and that was going to be a loan with obligation which is no use to us right now!

Yesterday it was being said Hammers only wanted to spend £20m and that was going to be a loan with obligation which is no use to us right now! I think it will end up being somewhere around £25m + some add ons. 5 year deal will only cost West Ham £5m per year PSR with a decent sell on potential
Popular Post Sol thewall Bamba Posted 21 July 2025 Popular Post Posted 21 July 2025 Depressing but the consequences of being run by idiots. The odd occasion we get a transfer right we have to let them go to pay for the leeches dragging the club down. 6
Realist Guy In The Room Posted 21 July 2025 Posted 21 July 2025 If we can get £20m, we should probably take it. Not sure why, but I get a feeling he could be another Fofana, always getting injured.
Popular Post Benji Posted 21 July 2025 Popular Post Posted 21 July 2025 Considering Petrovic has gone for around £25m to Bournemouth, we really shouldn't be accepting anything less than that (and arguably more). 9

Can’t see us getting a sell on unless we agree to 20m. We are in a weak position and everyone knows. The charade the club has embarked upon by pretending everything is fine and dandy won’t wash with buying clubs. And if we dig our heels in then we’ll just end up being screwed over by psr. we need to get a deal or two across the line before we start negotiating on mads and other valuable assets so we can then bluff. Trying to do it without having moved anyone on is pathetic. Edited 21 July 2025 by st albans fox 1
Devonfox1884 Posted 21 July 2025 Posted 21 July 2025 £20m + £5m in achievable add-ons will be about what he goes for I reckon.

Petrovic is a better keeper I'd say though. Fairly similar profile, but I think the extra height Petrovic has makes a difference and why they didn't go for Hermansen. I can see the deal around the 20 million mark, which I recon is about fair after the second half of the season Mads had.
Aleksz Posted 21 July 2025 Posted 21 July 2025 Accepted the fact we won't get as much for him as we probably should - but he's not going for a loan to buy. We need that money now, pay up.

Chelsea always seem to get inflated fees for their players, possibly partly due to the fact that their players are all signed to ridiculously long contracts (Petrovic signed a 7 year deal when he joined Chelsea in 2023). We, on the other hand, are negotiating from a position of weakness, due to us being relegated and constantly flirting with PSR difficulties. Kelleher had one-year left on his Liverpool deal and went to Brentford for £17m, so I think Mads, with 3-years left, will go for a fee somewhere in the middle of Kelleher and Petrovic. About £20-21m.
