Wednesday_Jack Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 It’s part and parcel of been successful financially...£10m and we have to listen. it might even open up the door for a decent striker to come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outlaw pete Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 What ever John stones at Man City cost we should ask the same for Lorfa who is better than than the useless lump Stones, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) North of 10m and I’ll drive him there We can’t make this mistake again. Whatever we end up achieving won’t hinge on Iorfa staying. He’s a good player but let’s not be naive Edited September 25, 2020 by FreshOwl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iorfa has been a great player for us at a bargain price but our mistake in the past has been not listening to offers for our players and then seeing them leave for nothing or their value drops. Sell Iorfa to help balance books and reinvest into the team with a few more signings - this is the model we should use. Its one or the other and the accountants are in the driving seat.

Popular Post max_7654 Posted September 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2020 Also posted this in the transfer thread, A quick look at recent fees for championship CB's shows the following: Adam Webster – Bristol to Brighton (19/20) - £20m-£22m Tyrone Mings – Bournemouth to Villa (19/20) - £20m-£26.5m Ben Gibson – Boro to Burnley (18/19) - £15m Alfie Mawson – Swansea to Fulham (18/19) - £15m-£20m Chris Mepham – Brentford to Bournemouth (18/19) - £12m Ezri Konsa - Brentford to Villa (19/20) - £12m Tomas Kalas – Chelsea to Bristol (19/20) - £8m Iorfa still relatively young, experienced, english, pacy, physically imposing, good on the ball, good injury record etc; certainly competes with the above and ticks all the boxes for mid-lower prem teams (Leeds, Fulham, Burnley, Brighton, Newcastle etc.) Plenty of teams with money to spend are desperate for CB's with not many options around currently. As much as we need to learn from our recent mistakes with outgoings we should be taking advantage of the current market and ideally looking for at least £12m-£15m+ for Iorfa based on the above. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 If we get 10 million it's a no brainer. Bring in a striker . Centre halfs are alot cheaper I'm sure there's someone out there rotting in a prem reserves. I also think Liam Shaw isn't far off at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZicoSterland2 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 If we got offered10million we would be wise to sell. That sort of money would allow us to bring in 3 or 4 players of championship standard.Iorfa is a quality player at this level but centre half is a position we have plenty of cover for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was the case, would you still sell? Say we sold for £10m and have to give Wolves 25% so £2.5m that would still give us a nice £7.5m minus the small fee we paid.

FreshOwl Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Premier league club apparently in for him too. I reckon he’ll be off then. This is how you effectively run a football business, both on and off the field. On the field by using the finances to make some additions, and off the field by making a tidy profit. He’s a strong defender, but as I’ve said our season won’t hinge on him staying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a player on a free from Wigan, albeit he hasn't played since serious injury. Be disappointed if he left, more that the club would probably let him go for £200k or something like that!

If the above players went for more then he worth 10+ Easy? Isn’t that Sanderson at wolves a cb come rb ? Just like iorfa? Try for him enough change lest for at least one striker maybe 2? We HAVE to start selling players when we can for big fees? Iorfa could quite easily go the way of reach?
