Alfie Mawson

David Moyes trying it on again, £3m is an insult. Why on earth would we sell so cheaply? Could be worth double that by January.

 

Really Huddersfield Red.

Honestly think 3 Millions a decent bid if it's true

 

Honestly I would not consider bids below £5m. These clubs have money to burn and are quit happy to pay big fees for unknown foreign players. His value is only going to increase, look at Stones, Holgate.

 

It's peanuts to a premier league club and an insult I suspect you know that, though.

 

Doesn't matter how much it means to them. They have business people at the top of every one of those clubs and they won't want to big more than the market value.

 

So what is his market value wise one?

 

If we accepted a £3m bid for Alfie Mawson it would be a step backwards for BFC and would undo a lot of the hard work done by PC and the club to get the fans on board.

 

Then they don't get him. It's that simple.

 

Sunderland paid £8 million for Papy Djilibogjiy (sp)

 

We really need to start playing hard ball. You want him you pay what we want or go look somewhere else.

 

Brilliant WUM there keep it up lad We got around that up front for John Stones as a ball playing CB with less than two dozen games for us. Alfie Mawson is a ball playing centre half who regular scores, has a full season behind him, two Wembley appearances and a promotion.

We should be talking 5-6 million up front and then a good sell on and even a clause for if he gets an England call up. TV money is even more mental now than when we sold Stones, so the value should relate to that.

 

Thought you said he was our premier centre back.


Make your mind up.

 

'market value'. That's an interesting one because I've heard Patrick crane say the same regarding players in the past. He said that a player is only worth what somebody is prepared to pay. I disagree.

I disagree because stating that a player is only worth what somebody is prepared to pay and calling that the 'market value' relies on one crucial detail. It relies on the fact that the club needs to sell the player. In other words it means that the player is financially a liability to the club and therefore his market value is determined by what another club is prepared to offer to offload the liability. What it fails to take into account is that a player can be an asset as well and the value of that asset can be determined by other factors rather than simply what another club offers for him. The club effectively owns the players (by owning the contract and their football registration) and what a random competitor offers to buy the asset from the club does not determine his value to bfc at all. I could call Linton up now and offer 20p for Adam Davies. I reckon I would be the only bid the club had received too but it certainly wouldn't be his 'market value'.

 

Sell on clause for Brentford ?

 

Maybe.

At the fans thing a few weeks ago the owner seemed pleased with the deal they'd got on Mawson. Never mentioned if there was anything else in the deal.

 

I thought that mate...

 

A minimum of £5 million with clauses or we tell them where to go.

 

If Mawson left would that make Roberts our premier centre back?

 

Cryne is adamant no one will bid £4 million for Alfie Mawson.
