Gyo you could easily hold on to until the summer and add a few million on to the price in the process. Hamer less so, he'll only stay beyond the summer if we do the unthinkable
The club is hardly in a position to be able to turn down that sort of money.
I love the optimism on here of people saying no as it might scupper our promotion chances. As a bit of a reality check we haven’t played a team inside the top 12 yet. Our fixtures have been as kind as they could be. Mid table finish and 25 mil in the bank for these 2 would be class

Erm QPR are 10th and Reading 9th?
That 3 year deal means we hold so much power in negotiations, which will definitely come if he scores 20

He won't be going anywhere in January unless we get a bonkers offer like that in the OP. Even then I'd think twice given that everybody would know we were in for a striker and had money to spend
Both boro and Cardiff will arguably get their shit together and finish top half too
He might have been promised a move if a massive club comes in for him and who’d begrudge itHe won't be going anywhere in January unless we get a bonkers offer like that in the OP. Even then I'd think twice given that everybody would know we were in for a striker and had money to spend
If we're top 6 by Christmas there will still be those saying 'yeah but we had an easy start'. There are no easy games in this league as any manager will testify

We had the same arguments in the league 1 season tbh .
First 10 games we played only 2 top half teams
They are solid championship sides , sides you'd need to beat to pull yourself upto the higher end of the tableMiddlesbrough being written off as an 'easy' side I don't really get especially.

Oh no not Jan, didn't read .. I expect bids in the summer will be plentiful if he bags 20 this year and only being 23 .
He has so many valuable assets
Very trueIt's what he was signed for ultimately

Beat these teams and get something from some of the 6 or 7 top sides then you won't be far off

Absolutely that’s what I think. It’s such nonsense to say we’ve had an easy ‘9’ games!Derby who we have at home after Fulham are proving very difficult to beat also and that siege mentality being created there probably adds to it. Every win in this league is hard earned
Ollie Watkins was sold for nearly £30 million just after he scored 25, and had 3 years left on his contract. If Gyo gets close to that then it isn't that ridiculous to think you could get offers north of £20m in the summer.

Which is why we shouldn't jump at a relatively low offer at the first opportunity. His value is hardly likely to drop. Prolific goal scorers at this level are like hens teeth
It’s an opportunity as is always is. Selling to cover debt is disastrous. Selling to run the club and increase the wage bill and invest in some more young and upcoming playersThis should only happen with MR's full approval. Sends out the wrong message to MR (from above), unless he is allowed to use that money (or a good chunk) to develop the team. as I would think there will come a pivotal moment where if he feels his on pitch work is being compromised, it will make the 'I've taken us as far as I can' point comes. He will definitely become the target for relegated teams (e.g. WBA, Norwich, if they decide to ditch their managers). He may make the move, regardless. I just find it disheartening as a fan to look at how everything will unravel at a point when we are having our day in the sun. Hopefully the club are future proofing for such eventualities.
Course that’s why Robins is being so balanced and humbleWe needed Fergie time to beat both Forest and Reading, Moore's ridiculous triple save kept it at 0-0 against Boro, Collins' howler for Cardiff etc. We're there on merit so far but a moment's complacency and we'll come down to Earth with a bang
From a business perspective they'd be crazy not to accept that kind of money.The owners puts investors first and the club a distinct second. If a huge upfront cash offer came for any player it would be failing it it’s primary objective of putting the bankers of the club first
So they would sell

Not sure about that. Depends on the interest rate on the debt and the appreciation rate of the asset.
We’ve seen many a time the club make less than it could have by accepting the first offer it gets.
£25 from 2 players and you think they wouldn't sell?Not sure about that. Depends on the interest rate on the debt and the appreciation rate of the asset.

Really?
Don’t think I said that. I said accepting the first offer wouldn’t necessarily be the best business sense.
The question was about accepting 25million, which they would most certainly do.Don’t think I said that. I said accepting the first offer wouldn’t necessarily be the best business sense.
Maddison and McCallum for sure in my view.I can’t think of any example other than Clarke Harris where there is evidence we lost out
Maddison and McCallum for sure in my view.
As it stands...1 League Cup game for Norwich isn’t it for McCallum? Looks a good deal as it stands
