Even if we stay up this season I can’t see us holding onto to him, how much do you think we could sell him for?

Some people saying stupid fees of 10 mill plus I reckon around 6/7 is a fair price considering we got 3.5 for mcallum

I agree, if we get 6 million with add ons like Maddison’s deal then it would be good business.. I’d love to think we’d see some of that reinvested into the team but I can only see that happening if we stay up and even then it would be something silly like a million.. they’d use the excuse “we need it for the new stadium in Warwick Uni”

I think we will keep him till January, undoubted quality.
However temperament is an issue and he’s not been at his best the last 2 or 3 games
Would be great for fans and him to acknowledge each other though

I don’t think we’ve seen the best of him recently. I don’t think there will be any Premiership clubs knocking on the door just yet. Second season will be key to see how he kicks on.

If we stay up, it might not be the worst thing in the world if he keeps quiet for the rest of the season. Will give us more chance of keeping him.

What? No way on this earth will we get that. He's 4th choice striker, remember.

I genuinely think he’s knackered. Be good with Kelly james hamer sheaf Ohare all fit to let people play and get some minutes off.
Not sure id look to break the bank on him as an opposing manager. They’ll be nibbles from teams in top half of championship.

He's a really good player, but not quite as good as some on here were making out, with fees of £15m being bandied about.
I think around £5m would be about right. If he has a brilliant end to the season and keeps up with some great form then maybe we could get £7m or something.
I think he'll stay beyond the summer. But if not, Liam Walsh will be the perfect replacement

I doubt there will be big interest from premier teams unless one of the promoted teams grab him or even a relegated one I wouldn’t rule out overseas interest As for fee not sure can’t see much more than doubling what we paid so £3/4 million so that will mean about a third of that if we are lucky for the manager to find a replacement

Depends who’s bidding - If West Ham and Newcastle are involved the figure could be anything, they regularly spend huge sums for lesser players

Agreed, if there's PL interest could well be £8-10m - if not then i'm not sure we'd get any more than £4/5m, and if we stay up then I can't see why we'd accept that amount.

Depends, two weeks ago he was worth £15m or more to a Prem team but after the last couple of games he's now rubbish and Robins should be thinking of bomb squading him

But the value goes up as in terms of what being in this league means to us.
we run at what we make we can spend.His value will be the difference between what we make in league one and the championship.
i think we’ll make a play to give him a longer contract if we stay up. That’ll also dictate his value.

Lunatics valuation: £15m. Realists valuation: £5-6m

I dont think anyone has
Has anyone actually said 15m....?
He may well actually end up as leading goalscorer in the league if he kicks on with 10. That would be some return for a midfielder. But cant see that happening if Walker is fit.
Currently about £5-6m is right. Anything less imo he would be a bargain.
Hes done fantastic overall so far when you consider everything.

I'm regards to fees, most of us don't actually know, we've not had a player worth anything sold whilst we've been at this level for 10 years.. Gus has a lot of scope to keep improving, he's only 23 which is young and has bags of ability.
I still think 5 mill is generous personally, when you consider Norwich can turn down 16 mill for max arrons who dabo made look like a league 2 player when we played
Blues sold Bellingham for 25 million
Bournemouth sold Harry arter, 31 years old for 4.9 Mill
Huddersfield selling karlan grant for 15 Mill to West brom, doesn't hardly play for them.
You can demand the money at this level, it's not league 1 or league 2... plus gus has media hype around him, he's talked about at this level.
We've some value, I hope we don't release for pittance
He's worth more than 4 mill, remember he's playing in a struggling team, imagine him in a team that wasn't

Would he stand out in a non struggling team though?

That’s optimistic even - I doubt he will be on the radar of many clubs

He’s had an impact here but is ridiculously over hyped will be interesting to see how his second season pans out

Why would a club pay a significant fee for a player that has obvious talent but still clearly plenty to learn? If you're looking at him you'd probably be content to let him stay here, he's guaranteed game time in a side that tries to play football. Another season is another season of his contract out. It would be really strange if anybody offered any significant amount of money for him.

Some of the valuations suggested in this thread are hugely inflated. The club will have done incredibly well if they received a penny more than £4m if he was sold.
The pandemic has almost certainly instigated an attitude shift amongst clubs whereby the willingness to pay over the odds for players has diminished - for the time being anyway. PL clubs aren't going to have him on their radar and due to the above, most Championship clubs aren't going to have the reserves to pay significant fees this summer. This also applies to overseas clubs.
Unless the club force a sale in an attempt to recuperate the losses incurred over the past 12 months, I suspect he'll be here next season.

Ranks highly (compared to other Championship midfield players) on a lot of the key metrics that recruitment analysts use to scout players. I don't know what that means for his price, but it definitely means he'll be on the radar of all of the big Championship clubs and a lot of the Premier League clubs (outside of the big boys) too.

I suppose it would depend on if his previous club had a sell on clause inserted into the deal.
