You're probably right in terms of where the market is for him but we're demanding £10m for Ben Nelson and he hasn't just had a brilliant world cup campaign. Less than £2m seems like an absolute steal.

Would you pay a lot of money for someone who has spent nearly 2 years injured.

[DAS Boot]

He can fvck off.

2 years left on contract, just had a decent world cup, international defender in his prime. No way he goes for £2 million. Laughable.

A year left on his contract, has had 2 serious injuries and hasn’t yet played a consistent amount of games since returning, plays for a league 1 team who are financially ruined…

 

I could go on but this is the reality. He’s likely on more than £20k a week so it saves us another chunk on the wage bill.

Souttar has 2 years left on his LCFC contract. 2028. 

[AKCJ]

£2m is far too low. I know we already know we're in the shit but if we're accepting that then it's confirmation to what we already know... we're ****ed.

 

 

We should be able to get £5m. Especially considering we have released 10 big earners and have a made roughly £60m in sales.

Fair enough, my bad. So from a wage point of view double what I said then.

[Swarles Barkley]

If it was 2m you would have every club in the championship enquiring. 

[Silebyfox_89]

JR wouldn't go that low.

For that fee we might as well keep him

We may be desperate to get his wages off the books.

We paid 12m ish didn’t we - means his book value is around 5m unless I’m completely wrong - if so then absolutely no chance we book a loss at 2m - zero chance

This daft rumour has come from the @SecondTierScoop X account—an account which, despite having been set up more than two years ago and claiming to be the 'home of reliable rumours' for the Championship, has only 400 followers. Genuine insiders with actual information tend to build up large numbers of followers very quickly. The fact that this account still has well less than 500 followers should tell you everything you need to know about the likely accuracy of this rumour.

What do you class as a lot of money in 2026? Can easily get into the 7-10M range with Souttar. Hes a very good player at Championship level

[TommyK]

I would imagine his wages are pretty hefty.

[FOXYTALK]

Got to be minimum book value plus change 

[FoxinNotts]

Sheffield Star news outlet, reporting that we're asking for £10m.

 

Quite right too. Everything considered, how he did at the WC, contract left, contracted wages left, injury record (negative) £10m is right.

 

Basically, if you want either Nelson or Souttar, pay up!

Given the business McCarron has done so far, I think £10m is achieveable, it may be the initial down payment is slightly less, but I think we get incentives and add-ons based on appearences due to his injury history.

That may be, but it's too rich for Sheff Utd, apparently. I'd think it'd be too much for many Championship clubs tbh. Maybe those that have just come down from the prem.

So £6m plus? Seems a bit optimistic

If Sheff Utd are to offload Sidy Peck as reported on some of their fan pages on social media, it could well be achieveable. However, I think a move somewhere else is more than likely.

 

A return to Stoke has also been touted, if they can go out and spend £10m on Galbraith then they may have some money in the coffers to bring Soutts back 

[teblin]

West Ham?

They paid around 10m to Luton for Mark McGuinness , and 5m for Japhet Tanganga last season.

I would have said the same, but a half decent WC does wonders.

Maybe a couple of seasons ago but the money flying around the leagues this season is insane (apart from us, obviously)

[Scotch]

IF he wants to go, I really don't care what we get for him. Obviously the club need to worry about that but I'm just sick of guys who don't want to be here poisoning the rest of the club and having to watch the result of it on the pitch every week. 

Not to say that I think he has a bad attitude but if he isn't committed, it shows. 

[RedSoxUK]

£10m for a sick note ahahahahahahaha. Not happening. He'll go for up to £5m to Sheffield United.
