BLRed Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 In light of MA comments Re: contract renewals and the fact times are tough financially so forthcoming contracts are about ‘timing’, Is anyone thinking that possibly the club are waiting to receive offers for players like nagy, (as an example who had interest from abroad recently), that would release the funds to tie down other players such as Walsh, fam et al? Or is MA simply playing poker with representatives to ensure we’re not paying over the odds for players we want to keep? what assets in relation to the nagy example do we have that could be deemed dispensable as a form of cash influx?

BCFCGav Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Bentley is easily a 10m+ keeper IMO. Semenyo could make us money. I think Bakinson could be worth a wedge if he consistently played how he started the season. I wouldn’t want to lose any of those three. Better to make money by letting the likes of Baker and O’Dowda go and saving wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not about how much each player is worth but who has value that is potentially dispensable to fund the aforementioned contract renewals. Would say bentley, semenyo and bakinson are indispensable IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that virtually, if not all Championship clubs and below are in the same financial straights due to lack of crowds and means that there’s very little available cash to wheel and deal. Deano did say that there has been interest in some of our players but no actual offers. No surprise there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe my glasses are just very rose tinted but if someone took him off us for 5 million I’d be gutted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeneys Penalties Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Bentley at £10m is fantasy in this climate of zero (or next to zero) income. only the very top clubs can afford fees of £10m and Football finance has been monopoly money for far too long, Covid is the cold wind that will blow reality in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Red Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 easily £10m to an EPL club. What i expect to see with no crowds and little money from media companies to bail football out in this country is Premier League clubs take their pick of Championship players for 'current prices' like little Burnley did with Brownhill and little Bomo did with Kelly etc. Champsionship clubs offer their players half their current rates to stay on, League 1 clubs struggle to play out next season and go part time and league 2 clubs go regional part-time and maybe merge with current non-league That way there are just two full time Professional leagues in England and this whittles down with a Euro Super league sponsored by the bookies in 2022/23 season. Easy to see this with no crowds and despite optimistic politicians i dont think any of us expect to see crowds in grounds before mid next season ie this time next year?

Don’t get me wrong pre covid and with Bentley playing the way he has been i’d have no doubt we would of got £10m for him, possibly even more in fact. As you have said though Covid will be a massive reality check for football worldwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s in the £5-10m bracket, but I’m not sure we’d get top end of that currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
