I would value Tav at 7.5 plus add ons and Spence at 4 plus add ons. I think the club will value them at 5-6 and 2.5-3. Why? Our recent sales of decent assets don't suggest to me that we undervalue them or accept poor fees. Traore, Gibson, Bamford, Reach, Adomah all went for what I'd consider good fees for the players they were at the time. With Scott running the show now and knowing he gets to spend more if he brings in more I don't see why that would change? Seriously at £5m I'd rather take our chances at a tribunal if he ends up leaving on a free. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I remember that interest but I mean concrete premier league interest, it’s always rumoured but I’ve never seen anything genuine. Just because he’s a saleable asset doesn’t mean teams are desperate to sign him. Link to post Share on other sites

Naisby 736 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Can I ask for a bit of clarity on the Transfer situation. Balagun coming but covid acting as a delay. McGree going/gone to Celtic We have been linked with a lad from Rangers in Scottish Sun and another Rangers player last week. That lad from Brazil must have been speculation. A lad from under 23’s going to Burton. Link to post Share on other sites
p_mards 1,365 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 The Evening Gazette have drawn attention to our reported interest in Hamilton's Jamie Hamilton: https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/middlesbrough-transfer-kokolo-loan-exit-22705662. He's a CB that can also play at RB. There are loads of clubs linked with him, including Liverpool, so our chances of signing him are probably slim. The link originally came through Teamtalk: https://www.teamtalk.com/liverpool/michael-edwards-preparing-swoop-scottish-defender-jamie-hamilton-newcastle-keen. I haven't heard him linked before so I found it interesting that the Evening Gazette have highlighted it. It would fit into our new approach of looking for young players to develop with a clear pathway to the first team. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Crap, didn't want him anyway, etc etc I think we should avoid signing Scottish players, tbh Kokolo going to Burton Albion, worries that he's capable of playing at a higher level than that 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Eze was sold to Palace for around £18m wasn't he? I'd be using that deal as a bit of a benchmark. By that I'm not saying we'd get £18m, but comparatively we could work down from that figure. Him and Tav have similar championship appearances, but Eze has double the goals, obviously Eze also had a very good final season (think he got 15 league goals). As it stands I reckon £10m-£12m would be a fair price (obviously I'd want more). But if Tav could add more goals to his game that £18m starts to look more in reach. Link to post Share on other sites

He was born in March 1999. So when his contract ends in 2023, he will be 24. How would we get anything at a tribunal? Link to post Share on other sites

Bamford - Low fee Traore - minimum release clause so we had no option Adomah scored goals and had much higher assists. Gibson - there is a story behind his move. Link to post Share on other sites
