I agree between £2-3m is about right tbh.
lets get real about this £3m or £4m or £5m we knew when came on loan he was around the £4- £5m bracket
A 4 year contract [ maybe plus 1 as well ] but go on lets say £4,000,000 and over 4 years! but we want to pay just £3,000,000 so thats selling on a academy player raised player for around £250,000 each year to help pay the £1,000,000
Reality is those Academy players need likely to shown something in the first team to warrant the fee..........
Twine in the team ....and we will never know! IF .... BECAUSE OF HIM WE DO WELL AND FLOAT AROUND THE TOP 6 so gates are 24, 000 plus most weeks so has added an extra £300,000 each season then before contract ends has likely made up the difference?............. OF COURSE.... maybe after 1 season he has done very well and we get an offer for £6,000,000 - £8,000,000 then we havent lost out? WE MIGHT NOT sell at that of course, might be more...
AGAIN WE WILL NEVER KNOW .... but say we go 3 or 4 rounds in CARABAO ... Qtr's in FA cup .... but no Twine in team and we go out in rd 1 of both [ that we start at! ] ...... or in the league we hover down around 10th -12th gates at 21,000 ish! ................
£3.5 to £4.5m would be a good deal
