Outgoing? Arblaster

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Marseille have made a loss on him.

Aye
So that begs the question
Did they overpay or did he underperform ?
No doubt some will say they played him out of position etc etc

New contract signed last season - would need to be over £30 million I reckon.

 

[ben1987]

Tell em to knob off

 

[JustLookin]

They can admire all they like.

 

[Brian Deane]

Fair enough, but you're splitting hairs.

I should have phrased it, since the Prince has been sole Chairman.

That ones on you for being a Pilchard

 

[NotFallowfieldBlade]

If someone offered 30 mill for arblaster I would drive him there

 

[Mouth of the South]

Interesting as I'm personally not sure he's quite ready for Prem level (yet!) - he'd take up quite a chunk of those clubs' budget and I'd have thought that especially Ipswich and Southampton would be better off going for more developed and experienced players given the challenges they'll both face this season.

That said, if Brentford's analysis have highlighted him as a suitable target, they obviously see quality and potential - they don't often get signings wrong!

 

[Berkshire Blade]

35 to 40 and i would seriously consider it

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

Unless it's a top 8 side and/or the price starts with a 3 - then i don't see any legs in this.

And Defo not those clubs... Imagine him signing for Ipswich and finishing bottom again after shipping 100+ goals as we pass him the other way!!!

That would only happen with add-ons.

Personally I would reluctantly take 20-25 mill plus addons tbh.

Been a tidy player for us but not to the point where he's taking games by the scruff of the neck and dominating the opposition.

 

[Gimli]

Brentford interested?

Well, in the words of our Bee friend Banana …

NO BIDS!!

 

[Zeblades34]

Not going anywhere

 

[Ricardo Mantelban]

Not going anywhere

Cheers Oli

Agree with all your points. More the lack of time to get a deal done for a replacement for me though. I don't think he's ever going to be a world beater so if we could get a bidding war now it might be his highest price imo

 

[Gimli]

NO BIDS confirmed!!!

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

It would be an unwise gamble to reject 25m

Peck could take his place

 

[Yogi]

We’d likely accept around 20 maybe with some add ons. To be clear I’m not in favour of selling Blaster at all

You can drive ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Another reason for me using public transport

 

[brownblade]

He's "not fucking leaving". He's a blade and he's a blade.

 

[SUFC Guy]

I admire and fancy Eva Green and we all know the rest....

 

[1987]

You have good players, they'll get attention. I know it's not really happened with us too much in recent memory .

But it doesn't mean the players are going. Though anything over 25, and you probably have to accept it.

 

[bertieblade]

His value will only increase, he is getting game time so no logic why he should want to leave and also why the club would be interested in selling him.
No doubt that clubs are interested but him wanting to leave and the club wanting to sell are totally different matters

Nah it needs to be Archie Gray sort of money before we even pick up the phone.

I love Oli, but he’d need an Archie Gray full season to get Archie Gray money.

 

[HeySethUTB]

£40 million or to fuck

 

[Rodley]

Agreed, he’s a step behind Archie IMHO

 

[Yogi]

Alex Scott is a better comparison for Blaster. Bristol got 25 after he’d had a full and impressive season.

We took 15 for Osula we’d take around 20 for Blaster this summer.

 

[BladeInIreland]

Hamer to move to blasters position and sign a LW and we may actually look better. Wouldn't do it for peanuts though.

 

[Thrice]

Clubs like Brentford know that his value will probably skyrocket after a good Championship season. So they want to act early. They're smart like that.

That's also why it would be unwise to sell him now though.
