fred mciver Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Yeah, but Lee at right back for me, or right wing half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No 2 is r nilsson Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 35 minutes ago, fred mciver said: Given his new contract deal, I'd say a few clubs have come in for Lees, probably from EPL. If Brum paid £3.5 mill to Barnsley for that cart horse, we are looking at least £9 million to a club that's about to pocket £30 million for a former Man Utd reserve stopper. But Hanley and Lees would be brilliant together at Hillsborough. I agree. What a steal Lees was for nothing given the current crazy prices. In my opinion we can't sell him at any price. We'd find it hard to create a better partnership that Lees Loovens or Lees Hanley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANDY Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Though, according to the Daily Mail, they face a tough task luring Sheffield Wednesday centre-back Tom Lees to Wearside. The report claims that Middlesbrough, Derby County, Hull City and newly promoted Huddersfield Town all provide competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred mciver Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Let's keep Lees and not do a Mawson - yes , Barnsley got £5 million from Swansea but Spurs now in at £20 million. Similar, Mc Guire, Kyle Walker , etc , etc. Keep Lees , Hirsty et al - unless they really wanna go and we can get megabucks plus a good replacement. And a 50% sell on clause , plus buy back provision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually quite common to have a player watched for a season or longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handworth52 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 id say lees market value will be over 8 million but I wouldn't sell for under 12 million .what we need to be doing is getting squad trimmed down a little by clearing out nuhiu joao loovens pudil ,I like loovens but if he gets any slower he will be playing walking football ,age catches up with us all. cant be selling players like lees as its so difficult to prise top players off other clubs without getting fleeced ie 6 million adam reach 10 million Jordon Rhodes neither are worth half that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This misses the point. Back when we signed Lees we had just come off finishing 16th in the league, and our signings were much more speculative back then. We were trying to get to midtable and we took more risks than we did then. Our first team signings that summer were Lees, Hutch, Westwood, May, Kelhar, Dielna. Total about £1m. Turns out all Lees needed to turn his career around (he had a bad time at the end in Leeds) but it could have easily gone the other way. Now, we can't afford a project - we are tooling up for a genuine promotion run, and we need players we KNOW can hack it at the top of this league. Not sure how may of them you can get for £5m that other teams won't also be aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch McLovin Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 12 million id ask for with a sell on clause and an extra three if he makes an appearance for England while there. We are struggling to sign one CH at the moment and the dross were linked with Keogh Hanley Morrison etc doesn't fill me with any confidence we could sign two. Has his limits but would be a big loss.

And hadn't he been the subject of a 1 million quid bid from a Championship club just a few months before we bought him? And what does the fact he isn't a CB have anything to do with your argument? You stated we weren't in the speculative stage and I simply gave you a signing that really was. Can I have my goal posts back, please? You seem to have moved them and now I don't know where they are.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
