I presume they missed a nought off the end. If they really want him it will cost them a packet, we've no need to sell. Those days are gone. Well said mate.

steelowl Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 sorry just dont agree with the sell him posters we simply would not get what he's worth to us in the future who knows later on this or next season we'll get offered just a valuation of him now not our call but I'd much rather keep him and .....Everton pffft We are Sheffield Wednesday FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Just now, David1867 said: If Everton want him then I'm sure they will put up enough cash to take him. People talking about him "languishing in Everton reserves", if we sign Jordan Rhodes what exactly will he be doing here? Everton are a club with good values and are prepared to give young lads a chance. Look at their recent transfer dealings, it isn't all just for the here and now they are also signing plenty of quality young players to develop into first team players. If he was my son I'd encourage him to go, there are no certainties in football but the money he would earn probably would give him a very nice start in life. Why can't we do the same?

If they offer a big fee with add ons for making the 1st team, so many appearances, so many goals, full international appearances plus a percentage of any sell on fee then I'm afraid we'd have to seriously consider it. Bongo! Lump sum, Santa clauses galore, and a sell-on big enough to get Theresa May wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Think there's too much obsession with his dad. He's a different person and therefore should just be judged if he gets in the first team to be honest. Until then I'd hope we kept him until he can get a chance.

ChinaOwl Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I will give you a re-jig of the "Whatever it takes" Chansiri quote. If it takes selling a hot young prospect to fund the current needs of the club, I expect it to happen. Just like Barnsley had to let Hirst Snr. go all those years back for relative peanuts. Chansiri's mindset will be about getting to the Premier League as soon as possible and what is needed to do it. The future after that will be taking very much a back seat.

Hawkeye Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 If this is legit, and not agent spin (and it might), the only reason I can see Everton wanting to do a deal is because someone else is sniffing. Or, it's an in before the value shoots up bid. Either way, he should look at it. Everton academy is pretty reasonable, and he might find a route to top flight football there. Whereas unless he literally becomes the next David Hirst, there's no chance we are going to gamble on a young lad ahead of forestieri, hooper or winnall.

southportdc Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 If Everton want him, they'll get him. But if we can get some good money for a lad with barely any first team experience, it's not a disaster. It's a sign of how crap our academy has been that we're suddenly so flustered about having young players attract interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Owl Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 We are no longer a selling club and have the financial clout to back us up. Why sell one of the best home grown prospects we've had in years when we don't have to? Scousers can fòòk right off and any other interested parties for that matter. He's not for sale.

If we were a premier league team eyeing up a championship clubs young striker that has only played a few minutes at pro level, what would we say he was worth? A pittance probably. Lookman just went for 10 million, yes he played more in the first team ( in the pub league) but he has 2 years on George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beholder Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 He'll be playing for us in a year so why sell him. Unfortunately though everyone has their price. Depends how high they are prepared to go. Really hope we dont sell him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
