Denzel Zanzibar 6,972 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I would expect Randolph to be announced as a WHU player by teatime today. I agree that really we should be keeping Assombalonga but if we can get £7m or upwards for him it's a no brainer. Link to post Share on other sites

Forget his fee to us, current market value taking his goals, but his lack of no goal scoring effectiveness, I’d say anything over 5M would be a good result. For both the lads career and our club moving forward, I’d like him to be moving on ASAP. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Lurker 2,118 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Averages a goal every 210 minutes in the league for us. Career is a goal every 181 minutes. He's not been awful for us and the cost of some forwards it should be closer to £10m Link to post Share on other sites

Was just looking on Villas transfer page and they only seem to mention bigger signings, a lad from Milan. Nothing much said about Britt. Link to post Share on other sites

And If these impressive stats which are banded about are so compelling you’ve got to ask yourself why we’re not getting multiple offers (or at least tangible interest) from a number of clubs. That’s the true bench mark. Not what we all think on an online fans forum. Yes it’s early in the window but I’ll wager we won’t get a bidding war of 10M+ on Britt. Not in this window, not in any. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ManBearPig 1,853 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I think in the right team, he is a great asset to have. Unfortunately for us and him, we don't play to his strengths and therefore his ratio is suffering. He has missed easy chances but I think that his overall play is suited to a system which works for him. Unfortunately again, due to his injury, he wont fit the hustle and bustle type that Woodgate is after with a high press as he isn't mobile enough for that. We should have played him and Bamford together up front but heaven knows why that didnt happen more often. Link to post Share on other sites

Hence why he'd now be worth around 2/3s of his original price. He's only 27, injury record has been good since joining (only been injured the last month) and he's still a good goalscorer. If we're not getting at least £9-10m then I'd keep him. Link to post Share on other sites

I get it, I just don’t agree with you. It’s funny how he divides opinions. I by no means think he’s a bad player - clearly he’s not - but I just don’t see where he fits in and honestly, 5M I think was acceptable. 7M I think we’ve done amazing business! He’s on his way down imo.. totally understand your thinking and that you don’t agree... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

And if your only job is to hang around the box and poach goals and you don't expect him to do the other simple stuff that's expected from footballers then the returns you've mentioned simply arnt good enough. He does other stuff, it's a fallacy that Britt is lazy Link to post Share on other sites
