It's not an under the odds offer really is it...
It's an idiotic tactic to accept under the odds really early in the window as well.
Who said that mate? It's madness to accept under what you think is a fair price just because someone has made that offer.It is also flawed logic to think if Coventry say he is worth £20 million clubs are going to open a with a bid more than that?
What is his value then? Surely his value is what someone is willing to pay for him.Who said that mate? It's madness to accept under what you think is a fair price just because someone has made that offer.
If we accept under value offers that is all we are going to get.
What does where he comes from have to do with anything? He has selected status so no work permits and he plays in the league as them.
It's insane to sell cheaply this early.
It is under what we think the player is worth so yes in the yes of the people who matter it is under the odds.It's not an under the odds offer really is it...
Ok, sparkyBecause English players command far more in fees than foreign signings.

What is this fair offer that’s on the table ?Agreed. It'd be remiss of the club to wait for interest that quite evidently isn't really there. Especially when there's already a fair offer on the table.
Not sure why fans can't grasp this.

It is under the value we think he is worth hence it is under the value we will accept. How is this hard for you to understand.It's not an under value offer if there isn't the interest to back it up.
It's pretty obvious, if the club are receiving active interest from PL clubs then they're entitled to wait to see if an improved offer comes in. If they don't and have been rebuffed following several initial enquiries and the only set in stone interest party is currently Sporting Lisbon then they should probably consider accepting their offer - which regardless of the idiotic rhetoric you spout is indeed a fair offer and relatively in line with what Championship strikers have sold for in the past.
Waiting until the end of the window for an inflated offer to come in is a ridiculous strategy. Especially when significant investment is needed fairly urgently to fund a squad rebuild.
You are going off on one missing the points that arevbeing made.
1. So far it is the only offer.
2. No one has said it should be accepted.
3. But how long do you wait in the hope of other offers coming in? (Which is what was alluded to).
4. Yes you can say he is worth more and hold onto a player that becomes disgruntled?
5. We might have a higher offer and he could say I'll stay and see my contract out. Then he goes where he wants for free next summer or it starts again in January when he is in a stronger position to make demands in January.
It really isn't just about the Coventry City picking a figure they want and sticking to it.
It is under the value we think he is worth hence it is under the value we will accept. How is this hard for you to understand.
It's like complaining that Tesco value product a at £2.50 and would accept offers of £2.00.
He is our player, we value him at x million so any offer under that is an under valuation offer. We may change our valuation but until then it's not rocket science.
If it means we can move on targets that will cost us +£1m before they go elsewhere, Yeah, there's an argument for doing that.So we should sell early in the window for less than we think a player is worth?
so far we only have 1 bidder and they haven't bid what we think is a fair price.It's football not Tesco. Basically an auction and so far we have one bidder. Yes others might join in or they may not. Sporting may increase their offer they may not. Sporting could lose patience and pull out? Or wait until January or next summer? What is his valuation then?
Yeah that would be fair argument but they are saying just because someone has bid it we should accept it.If it means we can move on targets that will cost us +£1m before they go elsewhere, Yeah, there's an argument for doing that. Opportunity cost, innit.
Yeah that would be fair argument but they are saying just because someone has bid it we should accept it.
That's madness
An initial enquiry will usually be made before a concrete offer is tabled otherwise they could just be wasting their time.
As mentioned in reality it's probably a case that PL clubs just aren't really all that interested and the club's valuation is beyond what they deem is acceptable. If SL have tabled a €20m package then the club should take it as they're unlikely to get a better offer.
Waiting in the hope that WH come in with a £25m bid is a ridiculous strategy.
I'm waiting for the buy Gyokeres, get Tavares free offer.It is under the value we think he is worth hence it is under the value we will accept. How is this hard for you to understand.

It isn't a ridiculous strategy at this stage. Again, we are seeing people getting nervous and wanting to sell him quickly. It's still very early in the window and only the club really know the level of interest from the wider market. To say there isn't enough and that we are charging too much isn't factual at all.
A lot of teams will be looking to move players on before they bring others in, they'll also be timing their apporaches; we have to be paitent and allow for that.
It makes zero sense to sell him immediately for a lower offer. It just smacks of panicking and a lack of experience. It certainly suggests limited business acumen, and if anything, our own fan base are the ones undervaluing him.
Yes and it is early days. But their position could strengthen in two weeks if no one else joins in? Because he only has worth in this window and we need time to reinvest the money in the squad.so far we only have 1 bidder and they haven't bid what we think is a fair price.

i have only said wait a week and see?Yes and it is early days. But their position could strengthen in two weeks if no one else joins in? Because he only has worth in this window and we need time to reinvest the money in the squad.
There will be a tipping point in the next two weeks. It may come down to Viks attitude when he returns? But at the moment it seems he wants to leave and where he wants to go to? Usually players win in that situation.
Yeah there's an argument that if selling Gyokeres allows you to bring in your top targets at the right price, you sell him quickly.It makes little sense waiting until late in the window given the extent of the rebuild that is necessary, and the relative weakening of our bargaining position as the window goes on. There is no guarantee at all that after Sporting's interest a PL will come in with a higher offer.
I said wait a week or can't you read?You do realise this is the exact strategy that Blackburn had with Brereton Diaz last summer and it failed miserably don't you?
Or were they just lacking in your awe inspiring business acumen?

Where has he gone ? I’d have him here.You do realise this is the exact strategy that Blackburn had with Brereton Diaz last summer and it failed miserably don't you?

Valencia.Where has he gone ? I’d have him here.
Since when?Valencia.
D'oh meant Villareal!Since when?
I said wait a week or can't you read?
I know you like to get things at massively under value after you had a hissy fit over being asked to pay th eusual rate of a championship box.
It's an idiotic tactic to accept under the odds really early in the window as well.
You've been babbling on in your posts about how it's far too early in the window to sell yet you're also claiming let's wait a week.
The hypocrisy of your argument is clearly lost on you.

Boosh learned his lesson on thatBrereton Diaz is an exception rather than the rule, but if it suits your bedwetting jump right in.
It's funny, I've offered anyone a charity bet that he will go for at least 20 million pounds this window, but no one seems to want to take me up on it. It says everything.
