Spookone Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I've always thought that the value of Antonio to Reading isn't really that important - its the value of him to us, the buying club, that matters. The fact he will be in the last year of his contract or whether he is proven at Championship level is irrelevant - we know exactly how good he is, how much we need a quick winger and how much 'value' he would be to us if he helped us make it back to the riches of the Premiership. So, for me, he is worth 1 mil. Same as what Marshall went for. Read this after I had posted - spot on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshTheOwl Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 1.7 million for a player in the last year of his contract, unlikely to sign a new deal at his current club... You having a laugh?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Monkey Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Jones will find an able replacement who will probably end up being even better than Antonio. He will become a distant memory like the fella who signed for Leicester instead of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookone Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 This whole saga shows Reading up to be c*nts £400k is maximum tbh and £1 million is laughable. Where is your logic, why is he only worth £400k? He will go for far more than that - I hope it doesnt end up being a price we cant afford as I am sure Reading are partly drawing it out to alert other clubs and get as much as they can.

Guest JackswfcJones Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 what would his wages be do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTavowl Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Explosive and productive player. Home grown player. Great attitude. Young. Physically reliable. But in last year of contract and not going to be included in EPL squad. My answer is:- �750k guaranteed paid �250k now then two more payments to be made on anniversary of the deal. �500k if promoted to EPL. �250k if wins England cap. �100k per 50 appearances limited to 100 appearances 10% sell on. This therefore is a "�1.7m deal plus sell-on clause". Regards Lee My opinion.... 1 million tops! sod the add-ons.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will become a distant memory like the fella who signed for Leicester instead of us. Marshall in my opinion is a more rounded player, but we did very well to find a replacement like Antonio but I think we would be very lucky to do it 3 times in a row, finding the right player isn't as easy as that no matter how good our Manager is.

GlossyOwl Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 If this was Champ Man I'd take over Reading and sell him to Wednesday for 100k. And give them Dan Jones and Reynolds to get them off the wage bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls4effa Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 800' 000 tops then move on. This has gone on long enough now. We should have had him in for training by now if he was coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest justcraig Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 What's he worth eh? Well is he the final Piece of the jigsaw? Is he the difference between mid table obscurity and play off challengers? If so then he's worth £1m isn't he? You can't pay more simply for the fact he's in his last year, **** this rubbish about unproven! I saw enough last season to know this lad can be prolific at this level!

heppers Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Everytime the Antonio transfer is mentioned on Owlstalk it should be a £1 fine. We could pay £1m for him by the weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 antonio is not proven at championship level. His end product is inconsistent although it is an improvement on JJ's. 700k or move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddyowl Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I don't see many clubs rushing to buy him at Readings valuation, I can see him starring for reading reserves this coming season. We've offered a more than fair price for him, if It aint good enough then move on, shame.....but poo happens !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaton_Swfc Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 750k + 250k when we get promoted. Easy . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kiltonowl Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 For everyone saying sub £700k because he is unproven in the Championship....If someone cam in for Semedo or Madine (both unproven in Championship)....what would you want for either of them?

Guest Darth Sturrock Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 When have you ever been involved in a transfer? Leave this down to the pro's. £750k single payment. Nowt else. Regards Juror A bit harsh that mate, he's entitled to an opinion just like the rest of us. There's no need to have a little dig is there, really.........

Jackie Sewell Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 We keep saying he's not proven at this level but we all must have a pretty good idea cos we've had him "on approval" for 14 games albeit in a lower league and I bet most of us have a decent eye for a player. If the deal fell through now I'm not too sure we could just move on and pick up somebody else who would have to be another unproven winger for a modest fee or a proven one who I would suggest might cost around the million mark and still might be a flop with us. Then there's always loans again but whatever, if we don't have a winger ripping up the opposition and causing everyone to stand up when he gets the ball it'll be a massive disappointment.
