What list?

Sigh. There was a list top ten gk transfers, 10 was ~25m but it was quite old, yet not one recent gk has dented the list.

 

 Seems to be slightly unrealistic valuations being placed on this guy.

You can sigh but I didn't say he should be in that list. As you stated.

Apologies, was not sighing at you, but at repeating

Where did anyone mention 20 million?

Yet no contemporary goalkeepers have touched the top ten, despite how prices must have inflated, but you still suggest our goalkeeper should be in that list?

 

This just gives people an excuse to moan when he does not go for a fantasy figure.

The fee Petrovic has gone for is a fair comparator. Maybe £5m less up front as we aren't in as strong negotiating position but with add ons and a % sell on should be up to £25m.

[DezFox]

I think regardless of what keepers have gone for in the past. 25 with a couple of add ons is fair for a keeper that is Brilliant with his feet and has a couple of teams chasing. Mads is on par with Petrovic and also more proven. Not to mention more important to us then he was to Chelsea with their 9 keepers. Anything below 25 is poor from us.

Seems on the upper end due to the weak position you mention, but fair enough.

Probably be £18m up front and £5m in add ons.

english and a PL club sale 

 

could be a buyback clause with a value already set 

[JimJams]

It's not buyback per se, Man City have a clause that they get priority if they match any fee offered, and that's what Newcastle offered.

Trafford fee includes English tax.

add also the fact they are a prem side in no desperation to sell…

[Tielemans63]

IF the (likely bullshit) rumour is true regarding interest from West Ham and Newcastle, he'd be far better off ignoring the bright lights of London and heading up to Newcastle. Better club, better manager, better fans....West Ham are such a nothing club in my opinion. 

[JimJams]

I'd be a little surprised if Newcastle were in for him though.  I know they're in the market for a keeper, but that's largely because Pope can never stay fit, so given Mads record last year you'd think they might be wary.

English tax or not Hermansen is a better goalkeeper and footballer

Let's face it, either is a great move for him. Not bothered which he goes to, so long as we get the best fee we can (we won't).

Actually They are starting in a terrible psr position and won’t be able to make many moves if they don’t bring in a big fee. 
 

PSR doing its job and forcing smaller clubs to cash in on players like this. Pre psr, no way he leaves.

 

Try to remember a promoted club selling a top player prior to psr, simply never happened

What are you basing this on?

 

Trafford’s Championship season he had 29 clean sheets, won the golden glove and had a save percentage of 84.5%. Hermansen had 13 clean sheets, was nowhere near the golden glove and had a save percentage down at 78%.

 

Neither has great numbers for the Premier League seasons but Trafford has 2 clean sheets to Hermansen’s 1 and a slightly higher save percentage.

 

Trafford’s numbers for distribution appear better from a quick look.

 

I personally don’t think there is that much in them but the numbers would suggest Trafford is a better goalkeeper and both are good on the ball. When you take into account Trafford is younger and home grown, as well as a better fitness record, it’s easy to understand why he would go for me. 

[Claudio Fannieri]

Unfortunately that is one of the impacts of relegation, as we saw with both Barnes and Maddison, relegation does have a negative impact to transfer fees, hence why now it’s more likely we end up with circa £20m + add ons from West Ham, our only hope now is Newcastle gazump the offer. 

[DJ Barry Hammond]

Noting Areola’s performance yesterday, we should probably be demanding at least a couple more million now 😂

[NewquayFox]

It will probably be £17.5 million with an extra add on of £2.5 million if West Ham win the treble…

[FrankieADZ]

if WHU want £30mil for Pequeta then i think we should be looking for a bit more than £20mil

and a sell on clause too
