Mr Popodopolous Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) Dean Jones also seems to suggest that Bournemouth are out in front. https://www.givemesport.com/wolverhampton-wanderers-transfer-news-alex-scott-molineux/ He says Wolves still walking the line a bit FFP wise but mentions £20m or so- also suggests the £25m remains a bit off-putting.

Grey Fox Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 1 hour ago, nebristolred said: To be honest at that point he'd have 18 months left on his deal. I'd expect his value to drop rather than increase from £25m. There are many unknown factors other than remaining length of contract, such as his form, luck with injuries, and the needs of bidding clubs. At his age my bet woke he continues to improve , as Will his value. There is a strong case for keeping AS for this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if his value does drop, it’s worth the punt of keeping hold of him. But if he does have a decent season I’m more than willing to bet we would get less for him in Jan than now. And even less 6 months on from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 Given Wolves supposed precarious financial state, would it be a good move for Scotty? Without a big turn around with their new Manager, they could easily have gone down. Stay in BS3 and sign a new deal Alex. You'll get your move at some point.

Johnny Musicworks Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 It seems the club has played an absolute blinder so far. We have I think set a price a bit above his current worth so if we do lose him we will be adequately compensated. Having said that Alex is 19 and progressing rapidly and his worth if he stays (unlikely I know) will I believe well exceed £25m by the end of the season (barring serious injury). He is such an extraordinary talent that there is no way his value will depreciate. If he stays and we don’t challenge then he will go in January to one of any number of desperate clubs. If we have a successful season then many more clubs will be in the queue so there will be a bidding war. Simply put £25m now or £30m plus next summer. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Rs Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 Wrong topic Ik, but does anyone know if clubs have shown interest in TC. Looks the most natural goal scorer we’ve had since Tammy to me and he’s been electric so far this pre season. At only 20 years old if he continues this form into the season by next July he could be worth some serious money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) He's also in the final year of his contract next July ie it expires in summer 2025 as it stands...barring of course if it holds any kind of extension clause of some kind.

Does clearly show he’s got the ability to shoot from range though. The second one I thought was going in but was a spectacular save to be fair. Definitely not putting buyers off that’s for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of them are god awful & always have been, that Kaveh is an absolute weapon, just have a read of what Crystal Palace fans think of him. They are both part of the main reasons why sky sports news is such a joke these days and why you can’t trust a word of their “sources” when it comes to transfers - many years back sky sports were always the most reliable and trustworthy before those 2 got more involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t really matter though imo. With 18 months left, and definitely with 12, clubs know you risk losing your best asset for free in the not too distant future so have that extra bargaining power. Even with the season of his life, his value won’t be above £25m in January purely for that fact. I could be wrong but purely from a transfer value perspective, this is the prime time to sell imo. Though I obviously hope we keep hold of him, who knows what we could achieve if we manage to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, how many other 19 year olds are out there that can do what Alex can do? The rarity value is such that clubs that want him will have to pay and , as I mentioned before, come January it's doubtful that there will be so many good midfielders on the market as there have been this summer for clubs looking to reinforce. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant really see, even with scott staying, that we will pull ourselves up 14 places based on the signings weve made?
