You never go in with your best offer first & if the £1m is true, we might stretch another 3 or 4 hundred grand out of them. i'd hope anyway. I think anything above £1m is excellent business. He’s never set the Championship alight for either Wednesday or Wigan so I don’t think he’s someone I’m willing to lose sleep over. Good player that doesn’t fit into our system, started 3 league games, is coming back from serious injuries & most important only has 12 months on his deal left. I would snap their hand off. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 If we could push for a bit more I think that would be decent business. 1.5 would be a very good fee imo. To be honest 1 million isn’t bad for a player that spent last season injured and is out of contract next season. We could sign 1 or 2 good league one players for that.

Totally get what your saying pal. i'd just try it on a little before we agreed on a fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy Nickelarse Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 £1m is a good starting point. Personally think that, on balance, its in the low side but not by as much as some people might think. He's a good player but one who has virtually missed all of last season which must impact on his saleability. I would think that upwards of £1.25 maybe as much if £1.5m would represent fair value either side. If it were reinvested towards a unit up front and similar at the back it would represent sound business 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 17 minutes ago, prowl said: First rule of business...never accept the first offer. Everyone puts a low offer in first to test the water, everyone always asks more for an item than their minimum selling price. If they offer £1m and we say we want £2m then we start negotiating. We will meet somewhere between those figures or their maximum will be lower than our minimum asking price and we both decide a deal isn't possible. Psycholocically if you are buying a £200k house and you offer £190k and it gets accepted you will wonder if you could have got it for £180k, it leaves that little niggle in your mind that you might have over paid. I accept we might sell but there's more money to be had. Is that you do it? WOW he's us thinking they offer £1m we accept £0.5m, wish I had your insights. Amazing they offer a price and we ask for more, what a concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This £1m might be payable in 45 installments and linked to Windass winning Eurovision for all we know. Something just doesn’t seem right. I've got visions of another Lee Chapman style rip off.

edwinowl Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I’d squeeze a bit more out of them tbh. He is worth more than that but out of contract after this season ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIPPS_S.W.F.C Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 How much would it cost to replace him do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalmJimmers Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Anybody thinking we will get much more than £1m hasn't checked how much L1 strikers go for, especially one who is nearly 30 and hardly played in the last year. If we can push the price up a bit, great. If not, sell. Don't make the same mistakes as before. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kew Owl Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Never accept the first offer. We should ask for £2m and we prepared to meet halfway. I think £1.5m would be a good result for us for a player who is injury prone, with not long to go on his contract and who doesn’t particularly want to stay at the club. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinnssweetshop Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Sell, and if we make a profit. Good. He's a liability. It's like watching Hooper all over again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 This ‘don’t accept the first offer’, first rule of business nonsense. Balderdash. If it’s a good offer, take it. And ask for all the money up front. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trev Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 It will be installments and include all sorts of add ons. I would bet we won't get much actual cash up front let's put it that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing they offer a price and we ask for more, what a concept. You do realise there are a lot of posters quite happy to take £1m which is the first offer as far as we know.. AS a club we always seem to have under sold our players and over paid when buying. Nothing to do with DC, it goes back long before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
