st albans fox Posted 14 June 2025 Posted 14 June 2025 12/15m is a sell problem is I can see a foreign club offering a loan with commitment to buy set at £8m and we take it 2
Les-TA-Jon Posted 14 June 2025 Posted 14 June 2025 Book value of approx £4m I don’t think we have the money or the recruitment system to rely on a complete firesale but unfortunately we pretty much have to consider sales for any of our players, so long as the fee is ‘correct’

BeaumontFox Posted 14 June 2025 Posted 14 June 2025 Of all the players to sell, Stephy shouldn’t be an option. We’ve not exactly got a track record of good replacements coming in over the last year!
Haywood_6 Posted 14 June 2025 Posted 14 June 2025 Unless it's a huge offer over 20 million - don't want to know. We know Stephy delivers good numbers in the Champ. 1

BKLFox Posted 14 June 2025 Posted 14 June 2025 He won’t go abroad they won’t pay what we want and I’d guess he wants to stay in UK now anyway so unless a low end Prem team come in for him I’d expect him to be here come August.
DerbyshireFox Posted 14 June 2025 Posted 14 June 2025 Torn on this more than I thought I would be. Very much a streaky player who struggled with the step up, but was never really given much of a chance when he really should’ve been. When he had a point to prove, he caused problems. Can be very effective in the championship as seen by the last time we were there, but he does have games at that level where he does go missing - can be a feature levelled at a lot of wingers. I think he has a big role to play next season, but if we get an offer of £8-10m I think we’d consider it the position we are in. We paid £5m for him I think it was? I’d be surprised if someone paid triple that for him but I may be wrong. What would thoughts be if we sold Stephy for a profit on PSR, and brought in Poku on a free for example?
Buzzell Posted 14 June 2025 Posted 14 June 2025 He’ll be an important starter in the squad next season so unless it’s an offer too good to refuse then no. 2

I know you've just thrown Poku in for examples sake, but he's a right winger, so not like for like. Price wise makes a lot of sense obviously. I suppose a lot depends on available options and the fee we got. The ship has sailed on the likes of Rowe and Sainz (deal still not done though) of Norwich, who would be upgrades imo. Could probably talk to Villa about a Louie Barry loan to buy. Although he's still injured and buying from the Premier League sides isn't usually great value. Stephy is decent. So a decent sum would be required. Not really sure who is going to pay enough to make it happen. Also worth noting he probably wouldn't be immediately replaced, with the money generated maybe going on refreshing that midfield of ours. We've still got Ayew, BDR and Kasey who can play there, and even though that's underwhelming, it's still gonna be depth.
Jimmy Posted 14 June 2025 Posted 14 June 2025 anything North or £20m and you have to give it real consideration, I'd prefer to keep him but if sacrificing him means keeping Bilal I'd do it 2
James_lcfc Posted 14 June 2025 Posted 14 June 2025 I like Stephy, would be disappointed to see him go. Surely it would take a pretty decent offer for us to sell? We need him this year.

Gazza M Posted 14 June 2025 Posted 14 June 2025 I think realistically anybody is for sale in the squad at the minute. We could keep but know he didn't really prove he was Prem class. 15m plus and I would let him go.
Scotch Posted 14 June 2025 Posted 14 June 2025 I've always had mixed feelings on Stephy. Undoubtedly talented and exciting to watch but his decision making is so so poor. 2
jv1 Posted 14 June 2025 Posted 14 June 2025 Utter nonsense - not going anywhere- will tear the champ up

Not good enough for the Championship. We've got better first choice and up and coming youngsters that we don't want stifling by him. Not particularly fast, can't beat his man, poor positioning and often caught in two minds. Just another backwards and sideways merchant. Does however have a good attitude which is more than can be said for some of the others.
Claudio Fannieri Posted 15 June 2025 Posted 15 June 2025 I reckon £14m and we deal, that would be £10m profit which would be significant in current climate. You also have to factor in whether he really wants to stay and does he have the heart and desire for another season in the championship. last time around it was probably seen as a great opportunity to join a club at the start of an exciting new journey, now 2 years on it’s a very different picture.

I alway got the feeling he was a player looking for a home. 1
dooflip Posted 15 June 2025 Posted 15 June 2025 (edited) He’s a good player, and a starter in the championship. However, the reality is that we haven’t got two pennies to rub together, and we are stacked for wingers. Abdul and Kasey will be fine as starters if the money is right - 15m+. The young lads and the grandads to provide backup. Edited 15 June 2025 by dooflip
