Bookies saying Fernando Forestieri is off to Fulham

[meggoisgod]

Still our best player

[trevdi9]

not fussed either way tbh he just doesent seem bothered anymore ,

 

[Mystic Neg]

I reckon people are dreaming thinking we'd get 10 million for him. 6 million at best for me.

 

We only value him so highly based on the fact that on his day he can be excellent. Unfortunately he doesn't have the consistency or attitude to have enough of those days or command anywhere near to an 8 figure fee.

Put £50 on him on Skybet . £125 Returns . Like printing money.

One thing you can say about bookies is that they are generally spot on with their odds/betting

No player in their right mind would splash out on a club themed table football game to have to buy a different one.

Not on your Nellie.

6 months ago I'd have agreed with you. 12 months ago I would definitely have agreed with you. 

 

This market is insane though. Bang average players going for huge money all over the place. 

 

£10m for a talented but temperamental player who can't even get in his own Championship team used to be unthinkable until quite recently. 

 

Whereas now it probably isn't too far off the going rate for a player who is still young-ish and has proven ability to win Championship games on his own if you get him going. 

 

I don't think he's worth £10m, but I would expect us to be asking for that kind of money.

With all due respect - Is your moniker a tribute to Jerry Lewis?

Best player at the club + rumoured bid = 

 

[Holmowl]

Not even a whisper on the Fulham forum. 

 

Non story.

[Guest Maxine]

Would be sad to loose a great player but if he cant settle here any more he cant be a great player for us anyway.

If you sell him now, fans will want the funds reinvesting in other players. DC wants to recoup some £'s and reduce the wage bill so, IMO, he'll be a transfer deadline day deal, just late enough for the club not to be able spend the transfer fee.

 

Undisclosed fee but thought to be £3-4m and a move to Yorkshire rivals, Leeds United.

Nice fishing attempt.

Lets forget the transfer fee for a minute and get in the real world.

 

 Any club looking at FF will take into account his age, his current form, his required contract length, his wage demands, the job lot. So lets assume he's on £35k at SWFC, that's an addition to the clubs wage bill of £1.8m per year, that will put a lot of clubs off. He's 28 in 4 months and will probably be wanting a three/ four year deal on those wages, that will put a lot of clubs off. His current form suggests he's struggling to regularly start games in the Championship, so again that may put a lot of clubs off.

 

So even before a transfer fee is discussed, the pool of clubs interested in him is small. Now add on a £7-8-9m+ transfer fee, a signing on fee, promotion and appearance bonuses and last but not least a £500k+ agents invoice and, in all seriousness, you've nobody left in for him.

 

FF is your FFP fall guy I'm afraid. Deemed surplus to requirements by the management. So a £3-4m fee and £1.8m off your annual wage bill will be deemed as good business by SWFC. Any higher than that and you're stuck with a player in limbo, draining your income.

 

Another example, Liam Bridcutt is a year older than FF but has PL playing experience and plenty of Championship experience. He was one of our highest earners on £20k per week, which NFFC will have had to match at least and as such we've had to practically give him away at £1m.

Best goal scoring record per minutes played, most assists, key game changer and  almost certainly get get the highest fee of all our players. Yes let's get rid.
