Ballard Bids

[cymruO]

Hope we can hold on to him for another season. If he scores another 15 - 20 goals he'd be showing that last season wasn't just a one off a la Kelman.The asking price would easily double.

[The Reverend]

If a bid of £3-4m came in, we’d snap their hand off.

Dom has at least made it to the start of pre season training. Didn’t Ethan last year? I know he was gone in the first week, before the game v Brentwood (as was Brown).

Seems a bit low to me. £5m should be the minimum. Did we get him on a free?

No, we paid "a six figure fee for him"

Thought to be £120,000 to £160,000

We paid about £200 k but Southampton have an agreed undisclosed percentage of the sell on fee.

Likely to be 20% as Bandy says.

I thought it was Higher but was stated by O's staff at the end of season gig it was closer to 20%

[Stan1972]

Weat Ham have cash to burn
Spurs paying Weat Ham £85m for their overrated relegated CM Fernandes

If they want Dom it should be £10m minimum

[Bandy Legs]

I just can't see it being that high from us, the three highest sales from a League One team apparently are Addemola Lookman for £11m, Will Grigg for £3.4m and Brayford for £2.3m.

I would say £6m is a fair price for a very good League One striker who is prolific but by the same standard of pricing he's had one season like that. Weimann had a season where he bagged 22 in 46 in the Championship and he was never consistently prolific, he averaged 9 a season in his other seasons with us which shows one season, especially a league below doesn't instantly make you a big price tag. Obviously age, potential and other factors are huge impactors and no team is going to give away a player but it all depends on who else is interested and willing to table a bid.

If 10 teams are interested but only 2 make bids and the best is for say £4m, then they simply can't get more than £4m and at that point have to make the decision to sell, gamble to see if he gets more offers before his contract runs out or possibly lose him on a free. I think our best hope is that they see our offer as "acceptable" and we hope that no-one else shows proper intent to buy so they're forced into a hard decision of accept less than they'd like to but enough to see it as bankable to invest.

Feck me they really are an Arrogant bunch !
Ok We will let his contract run down & let him go in 3 years with our consent !

Ivan Toney £6 million with sell-on from Peterborough to Brentford, says £5 million in the article but there's other ones saying £6 million. That's 2020 prices too so add a few million on top for inflation

The 24-year-old, who finished as League One's top scorer last season with 24 goals in 32 games, told Sky Sports News last month although he remains focused on Peterborough

6 Aug 2014 — Nottingham Forest have completed the signing of Peterborough United striker Britt Assombalonga for a club-record fee of about £5.5m.

The League One record transfer is Jay Stansfield's move from Fulham to Birmingham City in August 2024. The initial transfer fee was £15 million (around €17.8 million), with potential add-ons that could bring the total value of the deal to £20 million

Not sure where that comes from to be fair

[Bandy Legs]

Christ, O'Rourkes lagging behind the ball

[Omygawd]

At that price they can kiss our chuddies.

My uncle said don't forget your studies.
I said to him go and kiss my chuddies!
Great show that was.

[LittleMate]

Didn't Kone go for £5m last year and Kelman (who was strictly speaking a L1 player) was £3.5m

[gshaw]

Kone somewhere in that region after Wycombe turned down a larger bid in the January £7 million iirc)

Kelman yes £3.5 million with I think only 1 year left on his QPR contract at the time

[Bandy Legs]

Found the sell on fee is 22%

Football league world, so pretty sure thats rubbish then

[DelightInE10]

If Kone went for 7 mil, kelman for 3.5 mil, tolaj apparently for 5 mil, Ballard shouldn't go for any less than 8 mil. 3 more years left on his deal as well

Forget the 23 league goals
He won all 3 awards at the EFL awards for L1

[E10quence]
