I think with values of our players, you have to look at what deals are being done between the Championship clubs and Premiership ones and work from there, nobody is paying £40m for a Championship player unless they are established internationals or have somehow proved they can play at a very elite level already ie a relegated side.
We saw this a bit with Jack Clarke, it was obvious to everyone on here he is worth £20m but we could only get that after add-ons because he is/was untested at that level.
The record for a player going from Championship to Premiership without top level experience is Ollie Watkins at £28m, Jude went from Birmingham to Dortmund for £25m, I'd argue this is the absolute cap as things stand.
It’s a fair and valid point. Few years since Ollie though so there’s the argument that ‘things go up’.
Gray is well over £30m if hits triggers.
