durhamowl3 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Enough to get a keeper that is at least slightly better + funds for two years contract of an outfield player + level of compensation that BL is claiming + 500K for the debt + 100k for general funds + 100K for the inconvience of having to go looking.

Will Kirby Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Some people need to get a grip of reality! None of Carson, Robinson or Green went for £4m, so how on EARTH is anyone ever going to sell Grant (0 England caps, Championship experience) for £4m? If we get £2m then we've done really, really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glaser Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 well United quoted that they wanted at least £4 million for Paddy Kenny last season. Watford have said they will not sell Loach for less than 7 figures. So, basing Grant's valuation against those two, he surely has to be worth at least 3-4 million of anyones money. That is what he is WORTH, what we would accept is probably £2 - £2.5 mill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thetruthisoutthere Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 What?......even for Ben Foster and £27m? I stand corrected Ben Foster and 27m would do niceley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ripley Owl Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 In the present climate i would think that 1.75 mill would be acceptable as long as we had a replacement lined up , although i would rather keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Kirby Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I don't know, but I'm not a football manager. I'm sure Irvine will only sell if he feels it is in the best interests of the club as a whole. Ultimately, if you remove sentiment from this (and I like Grant as much as the next Owl), a club in our situation simply has to wheel and deal to move forwards, and that involves selling your better players sometimes, in order to bring in several others to strengthen overall. If its good enough for Wenger, its good enough for us! Incidentally, for all those that reckon we wouldn't be able to get as good a keeper as Grant for £2m, how much did Grant cost?

nebneeb Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I think putting a price on Grant is daft. The price we should accept, (as is the case with any player with years left on their contract) is the price that enables us to use the money to strengthen the squad. Goal keeper is a specific position, so the only way we can sell him is if we already have a replacement ready to sign. So instead of putting a figure on it, we need to sell him for enough to get a replacement in. If the replacement is considered better, then sell Grant for the same. If the replacement is the same, sell for slightly more and have a bit of profit. If the replacement isn't as good (but is considered good enough) sell for considerably more and strengthen other areas too. Otherwise there is absolutely no point in selling. He is tied to a long contract so can't leave, and selling him would be a step backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Boozinowl Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 no point sellin him for anything less then 5 million, we wont b able to get another class keeper with out proper amount of cash to re-invest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest catdog11211 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I would say he is worth around the 2mill mark but would want to accept anything lower than 3.5mill, dont want to end up in another gk merry go round so his sale must have enough to buy a decent keeper and some left over or its not worth it. Dont want to see him go mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd give it up - it doesn't seem to compute with many fans no matter how many examples you give them Grant's ex team-mate, Lee Camp (who is currently receiving the rave reviews of CCC keepers) has amassed £400k in fees during his career - obviously Grant himself was free It goes without saying there's no point selling Grant (whatever the fee within reason) if there isn't a plan in place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
