Bouncing Owl Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 He’s worth £15m in today’s market. If we are serious about promotion, we should not sell him or Bannan or Lees for that matter. Personally, I don’t think we will sell him or our other key players. If he stays and he’s fit all season, I can see us being top 6. Such a key player for us!

Agree with the first half of this sentence but the second half is conjecture IMO. If we get top dollar for him and reinvest prudently we could yet strengthen the group and still have a bit left to alleviate financial concerns. There are always future stars out there to be had. I'm not saying I want us to cash in but I'd only be really concerned if we sold him cheaply and didn't reinvest.

Yes, it is conjecture but after your first sentence the rest of your post is conjecture but having said that I'd prefer your conjecture came true instead of mine, should we come to sell him.

Agreed that's why I said if.... and could.... My point is that favourites come and go and new ones emerge.

Agree but they don't fall from trees doubt we could replace him without spending big. We all dream that you buy an unknown who comes good. Can't rely on such things.

Then again it could help provide funds to strengthen the overall unit plus help the club financially. Onlytime will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s equally as good or even better. I will knock some money off given his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might start at £15m, but nobody will pay it. Hes not good enough for premier league, and no one in championship is gonna sponk all their FFP budget on him.

Do you think the same teams will be interested in Forestieri? No they wont! That long list,consisted of two Leicester and Southampton. Explain how a kid who made his first team debut for Norwich in April last year as a sub by the way,who on the basis of his one and only full season is and can be valued at the price he is ? Now explain why you think a fella who has a history of playing in this league and is really good,can't go for £15 million ?

For the thousandth time - he is our BEST player & can win games on his own. Yes we'd get a few million for him (not the amount he's really worth) but unless we replace him, like for like, which I very much doubt we could, then we'd be weaker, less likely to get promoted. Forestieri is more important than any transfer fee - even if we amazingly got £18-20 million, that money wouldn't be reinvested well enough to replace our best asset. Don't sell!
