Mantra Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 £2million plus fossey seems to be a popular price-tag that people are bandying about. If that is the case - how much is Fossey worth? I'd be disappointed if we got less than £5m for Dapo to be honest. But maybe that's optimistic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s being plucked out of thin air, it all depends what the club value him at. Is he worth more to stay with us and us progress or a bag of cash? All speculation anyways and I think IE is putting him in the window. Edited March 11, 2022 by Rudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go around handing out bid contracts to kids because we get sentimental about them then we're screwed. Buy 'em cheap, improve them, sell them on. That's the model now and I'm fine with that! 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Zico Posted March 11, 2022 Moderators Share Posted March 11, 2022 Fulham sold an 18 year old to City for £12m who'd played 19 games He's been on loan to several clubs and think he's left on a free to Sunderland Which is why I'll be fucked off if we get £2m for him The whole "a player is worth what someone pays for them" argument is bollocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted March 11, 2022 Moderators Share Posted March 11, 2022 I.e. if PL team bid for Dapo, which is what they'll be in the summer, they can pay decent over the odds money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see that being the case with a player who’s never played above League One, will be 25 shortly after the start of next season and, going by some recent posts on here, isn’t even considered an automatic choice in our side (albeit partly due to the formation we play) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulhanley Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I think there's a lot more chance of a side who will be in the Championship next year coming in for Dapo - probably one with parachute payments. Norwich, Watford, WBA etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, ultimately, if someone pays a price then that's the cross point of what someone is willing to pay and what someone is willing to take. One side or the other, or both, may feel they've maxed out ... or feel stiffed but either way a deal is struck & a value can be extrapolated.

I'd say anyone who gets Salah on a free knows they've got a good deal Likewise if Liverpool decide to sell they may have to accept less than what he might be worth to them rather than risk getting nothing Chelsea got a good deal on Cahill and we all knew it the day he was sold I think Rob Holding was worth more than £2-2.5m but we were desperate for cash and Arsenal knew it Prices go up when City are in the frame No doubt Newcastle will find out this too in the summer Etc Just my opinion like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nantwichwhite Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Think Dapo will improve as he moves further up the leagues. He is being kicked to fuck in this one, with little or no protection from refs. Also he could end up nearer to the 20 mark goal wise. Which will raise his stock value.

BWFC_LOVE Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) Dapo is superb and I’ll be angry if he leaves for any less than £5m. I know the market has changed since, and I know he’s a few years older, but what did Charlton sell Lookman for at this level; £12m-£15m? Dapo has done a lot more this season than Lookman ever did for Charlton. Don’t buy into the theory that he’s not as good in this system either. His linkup play with Dion in the system has been fantastic. His current form is likely down to fatigue, niggly injuries, or perhaps even his head has been turned. It’s so nice to be in a position with genuine talent on our hands regardless. We don’t need to sell, and have the likes of Sadlier ready should we need to (or get an offer we can’t refuse). The club is in good hands and the future is bright. Edited March 12, 2022 by BWFC_LOVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be a shame if Dapo went for less. If I recall however, that Madine sale was a deadline day deal to a Cardiff team which was desperately chasing promotion. Their won’t be that same desperation in the summer imo but still think anything less than 5 million for Dapo, is a steal. evem if that’s 2 mill up front with add ons Edited March 12, 2022 by Mantra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose his pension will offset his wages somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
