Strikers - what price?

[steve26272]

Seen CW is out to get 2 mystery strikers - not saying he will return to BDTBL for any of ours, but what price would you put on the heads of our current lot?

2 months ago I didnt think we could give Brewster away, but despite been underwhelmed by PH's appointment, Brewster seems to be progressing this season, and PH I think is a good manager for him

Ive tried to base the numbers below on what I would say is an acceptable fee we would have to accept (without knowing the inner financials of the club)

Mousse & Billy I feel are the same worth to the team, Mousse is 10 years younger than Billy, but for me, it would take a million quid to be worth loosing him, whilst if someone offered a million for Mousse id snap their hand off!!



Brewster - contract till 2025 - JTW 22 value = £15m
Sharp - 2022 - JTW value = £1m
Mousset - 2022 - JTW value = £1m
McGoldrick - 2022 - JTW value = £1m
Burke - 2023 - JTW value = £2m
McBurnie - 2023 - JTW value = £5m

Personally think you've under-valued Burke and McBurnie.

Burke - Whilst he hasn't done much here, he has also not done much wrong. We might think he's bobbar but WBA did too when we bought him for the equivalent of 4-5 million, he still has another year on his contract and he's still only 24, for that reason i'd say he is worth at least £3 million to a club willing to take a punt on him, we might squeeze £4m if a bidding war commences

McBurnie -1 more year on contract and we bought him for £20 million. While he hasn't pulled up trees in the past couple of seasons, there is definitely potential for him to hit form again at another club. I think other clubs will see this and there's potential for us to get between £7 - £10 million if we transfer listed him. I could imagine a few clubs would be in for him like Rangers, as well as lower/promoted PL outfits looking for a target man squad option.

Thanks to Lundstram I don’t think Rangers will ever sign a player off us ever again.

 

[CPB]

I don't think Sharp would be looking to go unless PH said he can go and isn't part of the plans. Given he's still starting a bit and scoring I think and kinda hope he will be here beyond the summer too. Even as a bit part player he's damn useful to have around for me and technically has got better over the past few seasons alongside his fitness too.

I think there is a chance Wilder could be looking at McBurnie or Moussett if the prices are right but I doubt it. I think Wilder will be looking elsewhere.
Think before PH came in Basham was a possible target for Wilder though.
McBurnie if fit should be pushing the strikers more than I think he currently is at this level. He might get more chances now Brewster is injured.

Burke doesn't seem to really be anywhere and is likely to be surplus to requirements, feel harsh to say it but without letting him go for a small fee or free I'm not sure who would want him and could afford him. He would probably do very well at L1 level because of his sheer pace though.

Out of our current crop and based on how they are right at this minute (Because McBurnie, Moussett could get into form in theory) I would probably only see Sharp, Brewster and McGoldrick with Jebbison too in our key plans.

 

[Blade.com]

Assuming any team needs them.
Sharp & Mcgoldrick will be no fee, that way they will get wages they are after.
Brewster, will a Premier league team gamble? , maybe for £8/10 million .
Mcburnie, cannot see a premier league team showing interest ,meaning maybe a Championship side may gamble but there ain't a Championship club with or willing to pay maybe £4. ( Wilder?)?.
Mousset, £2/3 million but that will be abroad, cannot see any UK having any interest in him.
Burke,( difficult) he is one that could cost a scout his job?. If we are lucky and someone else stupid we could get £1.5 million, but we all know his worth. Again could Wilder come knocking,.

Agree with much of that.

The big money is in the PL.
Sharp, McGoldrick, Burke and McBurnie have shown they can be great in the Championship but struggle at PL level.

Mousset has proven he is up to PL level and CAN do a really job as impact sub there.
So I think PL clubs paying 5 million for a potential super sub is realistic.

Brewster is the wild card player.
He’s still young with a big reputation….think 10 to even 15 is still realistic….suppose it depends on the club.
The problem is due to potential covid lockdowns there might not be much spare cash in the PL this season…
meaning clubs aren’t prepared to gamble to pay big money on players with potential.

good point re costing a scout his job.............. who is responsible for bringing him in here?

If CW doesnt come back in for McB, Brewster, Burke etc, is he not in effect saying his initial opinion/valuation was incorrect

If thats so, is there any chance we can take him to court for dereliction of duty and sue him for, i dont know, about £4m

 

[Bashamed]

Scenes if we got 2 million for burke

They are some mental values. Brewster is injured and had just about crept to L1 levels. Moose can't stay fit. Didz and Bill are invaluable to us. McBurnie is barely able to get on the pitch.

Burke is the best one. The price will be zero with us paying at least 50% of his wages

 

[Kev Gee]

Sharp is going no were. I'm sure that he will want to finish his career here now.

Brewster before his injury was starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel. Would PA be willing to take a loss on him as it stands? He won't be going anywhere till summer at least with a bad injury to recover from.

DMG - again better with us for the rest of the season.

I would look to move on Burke and OMB either on loan or perm. Doesn't matter as they are not in the managers plans and a drain on wages.

I would then maybe bring in another CB and a nasty bastard midfield general. Either loan or perm.

 

[mancunianblade]

Not sure if people are suggesting January moves here, if so then Brewster doesnt currently have a return date does he? id expect Feb and the very earliest really

 

[Revolution]

Brewster is going nowhere because:

1. He has shown some improvement
2. He’s injured
3. He has to stay so when we don’t spend money in coming windows the club can point to him and say that they have spent money. Bettis did this in the press conference after Slav got sacked.

Well aye, that's a bit more realistic I'm afraid innit. Loads of sides would want Billy but quoting £1m for a 36 year old's daft....if he wanted to go we'd have to give him a free for his service. We love Didzy but he'd be lucky to pass a medical anywhere let alone fetch £1m.

£4m to £5m for McBurnie, I wouldn't sell Brewster until he's hit form for us or on loan somewhere else, then we might recoup summat....right now I'd dread to think how much we'd lose but he'll be good somewhere so don't sell. Mousset....fuck knows.

I love the "Burke hasn't done owt right, but he hasn't done owt wrong" it's cheered me up that. He's absolutely bona fide fucking wank. He featured in the most disastrous run we've ever had, missed countless chances, and can't get near the side in the Championship. Short of giving the whole squad Covid, scoring a hat trick of own goals or stealing any money we have and running off with Paul Woolhouse and Lord Lucan, what more could he have done wrong??? If he's worth £2m the dump I've just had is worth a good £200k

Jesus is that it for McBurnie? Do we have an option to extend? He's been an appalling waste of space since he's been here. Would be disappointing to lose him for nothing next Summer but it looks like that's where it's heading.

When you think of what we might have been able to do with the training ground etc. with his fee & wages... sickening.

 

[SouthportBlade]

The old boys have no real market Value, neither will leave in January. They are getting regular (ish) minutes at Championship level and imagine are both very settled in the area. Question over next year, but that will be about contract extention or releasing.

Brewster ain't going anyway, form and injury lay that to rest. In a few years he'll either go for +20m back to the Premier League having lived up to his billing, or a few million to another championship club.

Mousset we may recoup some funds on, think teams will always gamble on him staying fit. Maybe 3/4m tops, likely abroad.

Burke don't really see us getting a fee for him, he'll be in big wages so will likely fully subsidise any fee to get his wages off the books. Besides this he's a truly despicable footballer.

McBurnie is an odd one. Similar to Mousset I'm sure a few clubs would gamble on his to rediscover his Swansea form, maybe a newly relegated team or newly promoted team to take a punt. 18 months of contract left, anything above 5m would probably be good business.

Jebbison only one with genuine market Value, if he continues to improve / show good form you'd be hoping for at least 10m in the summer.

Realistically we need movement both in and out over the next 2 windows, through mixture of older players, lack of fitness or ability and high wages.

 

[Carlton Blade]

Nobody in the Championship has any money. Nobody in the PL would touch any of our forwards with a barge pole.

The fact that people still think anyone is going to give us real money for McBurnie, Moose or Burke is a bit concerning. Moose is going on a free in the summer or for 'undisclosed' (no more than £250k) in January. McBurnie is about to enter the last year of his deal, has had legal and fitness problems and hasn't scored a league goal in a year. If we were lucky we might be able to convince Swansea to send us someone they don't want as a swp.

Burke has breeze blocks for feet and is the least technically gifted professional footballer I've ever seen. We will have to subsidise his wages to get him out of the club

Sorry for reposting the same thing but I'm genuinely shocked that people think you can sell unwanted players for big fees in the middle of a pandemic to clubs who have no money

That's the fella, " nasty bastard midfield general" desperate for some steel in midfield. Not sure there's any about any more though, but we do need someone , even if it's just to dish the verbals out to the opo midfield . We never see our midfield in the face of opposition.

Burke's not a footballer, he's basically a bag of shite who can run fast possibly one of the most expensive failures we've ever signed and we've signed some shit over the years.

 

[Bert]

Mousset is out of contract in 6 months, probably on around £20k a week.

He's always injured, plus off field issues.

Nobody will pay a fee for him and even if somebody was daft enough to he wouldn't go.

Thanks Carlton. When I read Bongle's 2 million valuation of Burke, I almost laughed my mask off. Then thought I better check it's not Carlton saying that as I'd have to withdraw my endorsement of you as my spokesperson.

You've still got the (unpaid) job though. Carry on posting.

Please let it be Mc Burnie and Burke..pleeeeaaaase

 

[knowsnowt]

I'd let the drunk driver chav go on a free. He's fucking useless.
I'd drive Berk to Orkney and tie him to the old man of Hoy till he fell in the sea for seals. to eat, and have the seals charge me £9.99 for the favour.
Brewster needs to become a model and get out of football all together as he can then legitimately take a wage just off that stupid smile.
Billy and Didz, renew for a year.

I'd just be happy to lose him, I don't care if we get £0 for him, he just needs binning.

 

[blades78]

I'd be gobsmacked if any clubs paid a fee for Burke, McBurnie or Mousset at the moment. Clubs don't want to spend big in January, so its more likely we'll take a 6 month loan for these 3 and probably still pay part of their wages to get rid and free up some money for a loan player or two.

 

[Alan Birchenall's hair]

Nobody will pay for Sharp or Mcgoldrick as they're too old. The rest? A few buttons with some Tesco Clubcard points thrown in. Useless twats to a man....

 

[JOEYDEE]

Don't we have 12 month extension options on most of the afore mentioned?
