barrycowdrill Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) Think the general feeling when this was discussed a bit back was £2m with add ons would be about right. There’s no way a player with 1 season L1 experience is going for any more than that and that’s a lot of money for us these days. Be used very shrewdly rangers are a pull to anyone. Don’t care what anyone says really. Yes it’s a shite league but you overlook that for the 4 humongous games and a go at Europe each season key point to it all is they’ve sounded out on the basis they’re expecting bids for their lads (which I imagine would be Kent). If those moves don’t happen Dapo might not Edited May 15, 2022 by barrycowdrill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering it’s a pub league those 3 players above will command fees of 40m plus between them and that’s with them all only having a year each left on current contract. But it’s no better than league one so these sort of fees for pub players confuses me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted May 15, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted May 15, 2022 His number of games does indeed suggest clubs wouldn't yet splash big. However, on the other hand, it may be worth someone offering a reasonably decent figure, before interest grows from other clubs. Investing in potential. Just doesn't sound enough.

barrycowdrill Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) He’s 25 this year and played 80 first team games. There is of course some potential in there and his peak years yet to arrive but I’d say not many clubs are willing to spend big on that track record. Be a calculated punt with a few mil max Edited May 15, 2022 by barrycowdrill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 If he does go we can certainly trust Evatt and co to adequately replace him. Theyve barely put a foot wrong and strengthened each window. All part of the moneyball plan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc505 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I definitely would trust Evatt and his team to find a decent replacement but if it does happen let's hope its not late July leaving us no time to react. I'd 100% prefer Dapo to stay though, I'm seeing some real disservice being done to him on twitter as if his type are ten a penny. He's unplayable at times, integral to us.

Site Supporter barryk32 Posted May 15, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted May 15, 2022 Theres fuckwits on Facebook who are saying they'll be kicking off at anything less than 10M. Ten million English pounds. Imagine being that deluded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s up there with the best in this league No doubt and we will stand a much better chance of getting out of it with him. Yes we should trust IE and his team to replace accordingly but he will be a big void to fill regardless of who else is in the squad I think some just need to taper their expectations in terms of what we should expect for him though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanu Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 MK apparently want 3-5M for Twine who's a few years younger that Dap, had a better G&A return whilst also winning the L1 POTS. Think we'd accept 2M with a few sell ons & bonuses for Dapo if that's the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshape Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Even 2 million doesn't seem quite enough to me. 3-4 I'd say. Might sound mad but that feels about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Cheese Posted May 15, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted May 15, 2022 Wouldn't accept anything less than £100M myself. Currently in the process of mocking up an Oladapo Afolayan Match Attax card for my lad to go in the front of his Match Attax book. Not wasting all that effort just for him to fuck off before I've finished it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Egg Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I dont care if it's different times, different divisions, different players etc but if someone was once daft enough to pay 3.5m for Clough and 6m for Madine, I want at least 8m for the much much better Dapo.

Members Rudy Posted May 15, 2022 Members Share Posted May 15, 2022 FV take out £500k from it Give IE £1m to spend I have every faith in thinking what IE and his team could do with reinvesting that. Spitball numbers FWIW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantra Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Few weeks or months ago 2 million seemed low, but more I think about it, the more it seems about right unfortunately because he's a talented lad and I think we could all see a possibility that in 3 years he goes for 10-15 million. Exciting summer window to come. As long as we have Evatt I'm pretty happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjhb Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 2M and he's gone. However it's probably nonsense considering they have a European final to prepare for, probably one of several players on their radar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
