TLF10 4,496 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I was just about to post this too @Blanco. What sort of fee do we think club would be looking at? Signed a new 3.5yr deal in Jan. If he ends up at a PL team i can see them loaning him out for a season. Link to post Share on other sites

It’s very difficult to put a price on it under the current circumstances @TLF10 Somewhere between 5-8m I would guess? Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,972 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Not sure we should be selling Tav, he's one of our best players. But I guess money talks 1 Link to post Share on other sites

oldman 155 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 22 hours ago, TLF10 said: I disagree. Replacing Britt is not the hard part imo. Getting a good fee for him under the current circumstances with 1yr left on his deal is the hard part. Ultimately we need to find a striker who gets between 12-15 goals a season as that is what we would lose with Britt. One of the ITK members on here said we are looking at Lyle Taylor who out of contract at end of season. He has 11 goals to his name and has missed a decent chunk of season. Other players include Nakhi Wells who cost Bristol £5m (same fee as we are maybe looking at for Britt) and has 15 goals. Hugill on loan at QPR has 11 goals Woodrow at Barnsely has 14 goals Out of contract Fletcher at Sheff Wed has 13 goals. I am not suggesting we should look at any of them but they have all offered better value for money than britt so getting more bang for your buck than we have from Britt is not hard. Might be for us due to our past incompetent scouting department but some other clubs managed it. Maybe we can this summer... Sadly we do not operate in a bubble and if there are good value strikers out there then others will be looking at them. Boro are not an attractive prospect for players to come to at present. As for your examples: - Nahki Wells is 30 and at a more successful club than Boro - Hugill was tried and failed and was very heavily criticised by large sections of the fans - Woodrow has had one good season in the championship with Barnsley but largely failed elsewhere - Fletcher is 33 If you look at past scoring records then Brit's was exemplary everywhere he played, less so at Boro. I am not trying to defend him or be overly negative but signing a great striker in the championship is very difficult. If we are to take a punt on someone unproven and cheap then keep Brit as he scores goals, so we are not left without options if the new lad fails Link to post Share on other sites
mj south 613 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Josh Murphy went to Cardiff for £11m, is Tav any worse than him? Link to post Share on other sites

Different circumstances, Norwich had a better foot to stand on IIRC, never mind the current situation with COVID undoubtedly affecting finances with clubs having less to spend and more desperate for money coming in than before. I'd not want to sell him either but weighing current circumstances into it, I would not be surprised to see a fee as low as £3m accepted, especially if we're relegated. I wonder if we are going to see a general downtrend in the average spend per player though which is my main consideration here. Before all this I'd have hoped closer to £10m, it's that bad.

A wholly different landscape now than one football was in when Murphy went for £11m. Murphy went at height of transfer fees being crazy. Tav, if he leaves, will be going on the back of the huge impact of covid-19 on football. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
mendieta420 1,007 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) I wouldn't sell Tav because there's so much more too come from him and his price only goes up.. Start with finding his correct position and putting the right players around him. Personally, I think he plays best from the left, especially on the counter. Whole host of clubs want Fry Boro one of the clubs tracking Lyle Taylor Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,734 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I don't believe the Lyle Taylor links. We've been consistently linked with him every single window ever since we genuinely tried to sign him after the Ramsdens Cup. Just strikes me as lazy journalism. Link to post Share on other sites

I'd definitely believe SDS more than the mainstream media. And Taylor Is going to be Out of Contract I suppose - but if the Prem interest is genuine, he'd likely give that a shot given he's 30 and mightn't get another chance. Typical Boro rumours though with the same old names doing the rounds! Rob Hulse will be next... Link to post Share on other sites

Can't blame him Link to post Share on other sites
