ChapSmurf Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I mentioned this to a friend the other day, but I genuinely wouldn't sell him for less than £10M. I know how old he is, and I know how long he has left on his contract, but Bannan is one of our better players and most definately a play-maker. He can't keep us up on his own, but he will absolutely contribute towards it. If we sell him, we could get relagated and that could cost us £5-7M in lost revenue. And that is why I would price him at £10M. Take it or leave it suitors and at that price, I know you will leave it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree with it but it's not my club or money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quist Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Just read brentford made an enquiry but have made no bids for Bannan. They asked and when they heard Chansiris money counting machine whirring they went away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashley8 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Unless he is demanding to go and we get a fair few million at least..... wouldn't even consider it. Not going to get enough money to justify it. Only saying that because he's in the last year of his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like sheer stupidity They just made 30 million on Watkins and are on the verge of selling Benhrana for another 30. They can stump up more than a paltry 1.5 million for one of the more creative midfielders in the division, irrespective of age and contractual situation. Only person high as a kite is you thinking 1.5 million is excessive in today's market. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A midfield fulcrum that will be fit and first-pick close on 40 full games in a season. Even at 31 in December he’s worth more than £1.5m. That would be an absolute steel.

Stick im int back o'van mate. Save your back. Work smarter not harder I wouldn't worry, there is no way anyone will offer that much, and I think Chansiri would probably buckle around half that amount, if not before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see him assessing his options come January to see where we are in the league and not discuss contract until then. If we are still in the drop zone struggling I think he'll choose to leave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Glad we haven't sold him, especially at the price quoted in this thread. We would be weaker without him for sure. We are seemingly moving away from bumper contracts for senior players with no sell on value which is a good thing but selling Bannan now for the sake of 1.5M plus a few months saving on wages would decrease our chances of staying in this division, which is worth easily in excess of £7M. Not like he has bled us dry, rarely injured, never hides and is clearly valued by the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 6 hours ago, 83owl said: Only works if the players are deemed to be worth an over inflated price. Younger players who have proven to be good and can still possibly develop further then yes. 30 year olds-No If they want a player 30 year old or not then they must meet our valuation. If they don't we don't sell him. In this case Bannan is worth a lot to us and his value has increased considerably as the window wound down. If they had offered £2m early in the window when we might have been able to replace him, we might have accepted it. Very close to the deadline they might have tempted us with £5M. £1.5M might be his value to them, it wouldn't be enough for us. That's why the deal didn't get done.

Love to have a job in football journalism. Wake up, scratch arse, dream up a story, think up a follow-up story and repeat until the final position (if any) comes to light.
