Not enough

Im not sure we could get a huge amount more, if we sell then we need to make sure there's a 12/15% sell on fee imo. The lads made it clear behind the scenes he wants to move on and his representatives have been touting him around for quite a while now. A few teams are interested in him, but the over riding feeling ATM is that they want to see him in this coming season with better players, pushing at the other end of the season and how he handles it before they pull the trigger.... This may force some hands though and push the price upwards

I'd heard he doesn't want to go just yet.

For £16m, hell, even £10m we could buy what would probably be the best winger in the Championship, so I wouldn't be worried about whether we could replace him. These players aren't going to be with us forever, at some point they will leave and that sort of money for a player that's only had one Championship season is pretty good.

Do we stick and hope he has an even better one, chancing that he doesn't pick up a horrible injury or has a mediocre to crap season, or do we bank the money and reinvest it? Will Brentford survive this season or will they go down?

Tough choice for Tan and Acun that.

I’d keep him on the basis he’s young and homegrown. It’s a reasonable offer. I get more enjoyment watching homegrown players doing well in ‘our’ team. He had a good season last season in a mediocre team, I’d like to see what he can do in our team with better players. A good season with better players could well double his valuation.

If Forss is part of that deal then the price is £25m. I’ve seen some poor strikers in my time, but he was utter gash.

I also think another year here and he’ll get far better offers than Brentford. No disrespect to Brentford.

Better than Jason Harris or Jamie Wood?

Just out of curiosity, who would you replace him with?

Mr Rodwell announced last week they were selling the Cottingham Training ground (possible housing development ?)
Think they want to build a new facility alongside the MKM near the Five a Side pitches

I hadn't heard that , I would have thought somewhere to the west of Hull with a lot of land would make more sense
for a new training facility. I agree the one in Cott is not really fit for purpose at this point in time though.

I don't think he'll ever be worth more than now for us anyway unless he signs a new deal.

The sun article says its £16m plus add ons. If that's legit, how do you turn it down?
