It'll be £20m each or we won't sell. I think we'll be trying to get the Greaves deal to be a club record one and I think that's completely fair.

Philogene is better than KLP, and has a longer contract so he's going to cost more. I think he'll end up at Palace once Olise goes but I think there'll be a fair bit of interest in Europe too. Tella has done well at Leverkusen, so I could see Bundesliga clubs scouting more in the Championship.
Personally I think the closer figures will be £15m for Greaves and £10m for Philogene. Greaves is improving but isn't a Premier League ready starter yet, he will be. Philogene needs more time at this level, playing for the team, he's too greedy at times and makes the wrong decisions, scouts will have seen this, he will be a Premier League starter at some point but not yet.

I think I’m in a minority, but I just feel that a lot of people are wearing black & amber tinted glasses when it comes to our players, mainly when it comes to Greaves.
A couple of years ago, he couldn’t defend at a corner without grabbing the opponent & holding or throwing them over.
Yes he’s a left footed CB who can also play LB, no doubt he’s improved by a mile when it comes to defending corners, but I still don’t think we’ll get huge money for him, at the best we’ll get Maguire money, 16-17 million IMO.
If both him & Philogene go, then 30-40 million combined would be what I’d expect, obviously hope for more, but expect that.
Also the problem with getting decent money for players, then gets selling clubs realising we have a bit of extra cash, so that 2 million player is now 3 million.
It could be a case of undisclosed figures in the media for safety.
He's the top rated Centre Half in the Championship this season, he's English, left footed and reliable. Four very big reasons why he will attract serious interest and, hopefully a very good fee. Not sure what else he is supposed to do and others who were no better have gone for very good money in the past.

Why would Philogene go for less than KLP?

If the highest offer we get for Philogene is £10m, then he’s going nowhere.

And though we need to cash in on at least one of them, I still expect Greaves fee will have to start with a 2 (or be very close to it).

I'd heard (3rd hand - so may or may not be true) that we'd take £18M for Greaves
 
If doncaster go up

Youd like to think we could arrange tlt to have another loan there at a higher level

Unfortunately clubs ( and agents ) know we need to sell so that really won't help, it's really important imo that if we're selling then it's done as early as possible, both for us to have adequate time to replace, but also because if it gets towards the end of the window and we haven't sold ( enough ) then we may be forced into accepting something lower

I think west ham was mentioned on here, Bowen seems to like Moyes. However Moyes is leaving, wonder if west ham are still the front runners

No doubt some clown will say if Moyes goes we may be able to get Bowen back here.<laugh>

He's admired by a fair few in the PREM and rightly so, A friend of mine who's currently working for a London club in the top 6 has said they are tracking what's happening. They don't see him as a week in week out prem player for them yet, but are considering it because they know if he does go into a lower PREM team and does well, his value will sky rocket, so do they get him cheaper now and nurture or risk having to pay big money later

either would be great moves, i see his pathway into the spurs teams easier than Arsenal's
