If someone wants him then the range should be £15m to £20m with add ons.
I think you also have to consider that these teams can buy players from Europe quite easily for £10-15m. The Bissouma guy cost £15m, so I would say £10-15m plus add ons is more realistic
Or hands tied by Mr Park?

Another issue is - if they were to extend their contracts any bids would then have to be much higher than for players in their final year
That way - we still don't guarantee keeping them - but we should be able to guarantee getting a better fee for them -
Which in turn gives us more to spend on replacements
It's also a deterrent to paltry bids meantime & wards off the cheapskates
Letting any of our players go for a pittance gives other clubs the impression we're a soft touch driving down potential values of others
Allowing contracts to get this near to expiry with so many key players is the crime here IMO
To be fair Grigo, he said squad, not starting 11. He is good enough to have have had a place in Advocaats squad.
I do wonder how it all works behind the scenes. Our costs are going to be around £80m + this year. I’d imagine he is under pressure to reduce costs and can’t hand out the new contracts like he might want to. No sporting director wants to let players run down a contract on their watch. Players also need decent payrises as an incentive to sign up for longer.

I have no idea who runs the 4th Official account, but the Bear who is associated with the podcast and interviewed Firth last week has his own twitter and has lost his mind on transfers.

Yes agree.
Glen’s a very good player. I’d rather not lose him at all, but if we want more firepower, with limited funds, his sale could easily allow us to buy two players plus cash in the bank ?

With the number of years remaining on Kamara's contract I can't see him going for cheap.
I imagine the focus is on Morelos, Kent, Aribo, Bassey, and potential arrivals.
There is no need to focus on negotiations for Kamara. There will be a price already agreed that if it's bid we will accept. Until that's made I can't see us entertaining negotiations with so much else to concentrate on.

The scum have him on their books they’d be wanting a lot more than 15 million and so would their rancid fans.
Every single one of our players to devalue them from our own fans it’s either shite about his contract,his age or the league he plays in.
Blows the mind tbh

The Athletic is full of self importance guff.
An absolute joke of a publication.
It claims the Bundesliga is in decline, so as to downplay our outstanding achievements against RB and Dortmund, yet conveniently ignores middle of the table Eintracht pishing all over 7th placed in the EPL home and away in the semi final.

Because his value was never £15/20m in the first place.

Its brutal mate. We just got to a European final. We dont need major surgery. Ideally, we would like to sell the fringe players and add that money to the existing budget to find upgrades.
People trying to give away key players, for relative buttons, is crazy to me. Everyone on here accepts we are a selling club, but jesus, we are also trying to build something as well.

Agreed……in a way that’s what I’m getting at…..if they had been offered their top and only offer we would know where we stand at the moment (and a lot sooner). As it stands, we don’t know if the club are playing chicken with their offers, gambling they will eventually reach a sum suitable to everyone

I'll hold my hands up, I've made a bit of a lady's front bottom of myself with my stand on Kamara. I got shit wrong and took a stand on wrong information.
I stand by I think we'll struggle to get £15 million for Kamara but I made stupid arguments for it.
The thing that could drive it up though is Kamara is homegrown nation in England. I forgot about that until later on. Tbh that means a great deal in England due to the squad registrations (they need 8 HG for their 25 man squad) for every club in the Prem and drives up prices massively. It's why Grealish, Maguire, etc went well over their actual value. It's why Bassey will break the Scottish transfer record by a wide distance.
So who knows we could get £15 million.

100% mate! That's what people are missing about the Morelos valuation too, the French U21 " player that left them for Crystal Palace in the last year of his contract for circa £14m but a Colombian full international with so many European goals would go for €8m Euros? Laughable.
That account is usually fairly reliable tbh.
It was the english scout who said that. Not the Athletic, they just printed what he said.
That was kind of my point. The English clubs have a very low opinion of up here. The clubs seem to have an extreme arrogance about the English league.

The 'agents' in that article, if they really exist, came across as clueless arrogant wanks. I mean they had the cheek to say the German national side was on the decline, then Hungary go and thrash England.
Kamara is a full international who impresses just about every time at that level, he shines in Europe for us, he is on a long contract, he classes as English trained, there is apparently EPL interest yet we have , ahem, Rangers fans on here trying to talk down his value .

Why not? He’s an outstanding player who could play regularly in the EPL and in Europe.

Why wouldn’t his value be £15/20m? Not having a go just trying to figure out why he wouldn’t be worth that sort of value.

He would be 29/30 when his contract is up.
£12m would likely be a decent value for us, his age and his potential future value

Same, by a mile.
Although I think that poster is right they didn’t play as much together as I seemed to have remembered.
A large chunk of our support are blinded by what happened to us in 2012 and since then, if we want to be a big club we have to behave and conduct like one. Some in our support would have you think we're a mid table club desperate to get rid of players for a measly amount
Some on here would sell our players for peanuts
Kamara Morelos Kent or whoever else attracts interest from other clubs were they to leave will go for a lot more than the pish figures that some are posting on here

2.5 million euros is £2.15 million so maybe some credence in this report about Colak as we would be meeting them half way

These mental cases would sell the entire squad and happily replace them all with foreign sounding players they’ve never heard of.
They’d then hammer the entire lot in the match thread bi weekly.
Tbh I did think Scout 8 was a massive Celtic fan.
I mean isn't that the point. The English top league and the fans of their clubs have extremely arrogant and dismissive viewpoints on football outside England.
You just need to look at punditry to any English club vs even a top tier European side. Real were shite and out since playing Chelsea.

They also claim today is June 23rd. I checked a calendar anyway.
Is the £10 million release clause reported a while back accurate? Seems a weird clause to add in the final season.
Hopefully it isn't and we can't start a bidding war.

Still loved them together mate. I know Dick wasn’t an Albertz fan but I thought the balance in that midfield was terrific.

Still think we should be aiming lower than £2 million.
I suppose the plus point is the Itten fee pays the majority of it that's if a deal goes through.

We had some well respected posters trying to tell us that £7m for Morelos wasn’t a disaster last night.
The mind boggles.
This man speaks sense.
The worry would be replacing them all at once, but I'd assume that's why McGregor, Davis, Arfield were all renewed. To try and keep a good solid dressing room core. Of we lose any of Morelos, Kamara, Aribo or Kent it won't just be their influence on the field we lose it's in the dressing room and training ground we lose their influence aswell.
