TRL Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 £5 for their best striker? Yes please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasthevillan Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Next few seasons? Surely that is a bit long term. With regards Gabby he has been our best player this season and that is why he has played every minute, the guy is worth more than £10m now. sorry mate...10m is dreamland!! 1.5 to 2m max! Talk of him being called up by England, been the find of the season for many. If Dave Nugent is being talked of as being £5-6m I think it is safe to put a near £10m valuation to take him off MO'N. If we can sign players as good and fast as Gaby for £1.5-2m then please name them and I'm sure that Ian Storey Moore would be very interested, in fact he may be out of a job.

sam100 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 when i've seen nugent, yes he might not have the lightning pace but theres a bit of a gulf in class you would be foolish to spend 10 million on someone who has yet to prove if has anything more than pace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but can he run in an arc? Or is he all about the straights? Yeah definitely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasthevillan Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 But has Chambers scored 40 goals in a season for one of the country's best reserves? I have seen quite a bit of Nugent as I went to uni with a couple of PNE fans and he is very good but I would put money on Wenger taking Gabby over Nugent any day of the week!

Rocafella Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 would offer bad value for money at the moment. F*ck value, you are not the one to judge value when he hasn't even played one game for us. What if he goes on to score 15 goals every season? What is 5M in 2006? What is 5M for a "big club"? Nothing! £5 for their best striker? You are having a laugh! That would guarantee relegation and missing out on the TV deal wind fall next season. Seeing that economics is the study of choice and I'm an economist I think it's something I know a little bit about to be honest. We would be better offer paying £7m for Defoe than £12m for Bent which is the fee that I would expect you would need to pay. With the £5m you had left you could get Bale or Young, that should help result in more points accrued by the end of the season. The fee mentioned for Bent is 10M, obviously the 5M I am talking about is the maximum fee we have to pay above this (in worst case). I too am studying to be an economist and I am also quite certain they would not sell Bent for 5M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 If Charlton think Reid, Traore and Faye are worth £7m between them its fair to say they reckon Bent is worth one hell of a lot more than £5m. Whether he is or not I don't know, but I imagine they'd be looking around £8-10m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocafella Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT BENT AT 5M !!!!!!! I said risking 5M above his asking price at around 10M would be a gamble, which means 15M. My point is; who are we to judge his value before he has ever played a match for us? United paid 28M for Rooney, a kid that wasn't even better than Lee Hendrie at the time.

Don't even think about Darren Bent being a world beater and why pay £5m more than his value? Gago is going to Real for £13m. £5M is a large premium for us to pay when ou turnover is around £50-60m. You will know that price is determined by supply and demand, for £15m there are much better players around than Darren Bent. He could well be the next Michael Ricketts! Who?

Mr_Dogg Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Fresh links to Defoe and Bent reported today in the gossip pages. Aston Villa are set to make a £12m swoop for Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe in January. (The People) Villa are targeting Charlton striker Darren Bent and West Brom winger Zoltan Gera. (News of the World) And also: Midfielder James Milner is set to give Newcastle a boost by signing a new contract on his 21st birthday on 4 January.

Is it absolute bollocks when they said some months ago that 15M was the price they expected to get for him from Newcastle? I know they are pushing prices, but frankly does it matter? I am NOT saying we should pay 15M for Darren Bent, I think a reasonable price would be 11M or something. Not because of his value, that we do not know anything about before he has actually played and scored for this club on a regular basis. Based on what I believe we have available for transfers I wouldn't want to pay 15M. I remember Louis Saha going to United for around 12m and he was kind of the same type of player, playing good for a shitty club like Fulham. As well as Yorke. Didn't he leave for 12M? I think Darren Bent was better than Saha, and probably better than Yorke when he left us. It was when playing for United he really became a world-beater. Darren Bent is going to be sold for everything between 9M and 15M, depends on who and how many that is bidding for his services. Is it absolute bollocks? I do not believe so.

PauloBarnesi Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 United paid 28M for Rooney, a kid that wasn't even better than Lee Hendrie at the time. Much as I love Buggy Hendrie, he has never ever shown half the guile, skill and technical ability that Rooney has shown on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
