The Tim Weah one is interesting. He played very little football for the filth and yet they still got £10m (PSG). Alfie was clearly better player in the SPL context....
Anything over 10 million for him would be like a genuine lottery win for us.
How obtuse do you want to be?
PSG sold a 25 year old striker to Utrecht last summer for nothing. I wonder how that works in your logic. And Celtic signing Edouard must be mind blowing.
In general, they will get better “market value” than we do. Of course. But that is one of many factors, and the quality of the player is surely the ultimate one.

We are an absolute nightmare at times. Morelos goes away with his missus and he has f*ked off from training.
Why would he want to play in China? More to the point why would an 18 year old Columbian who barely speaks any language other than Spanish would want to move to finland, scotland etc? Hes a professional trying to make money for his family.
Everyone stop being so dramatic or else I will have to give my missus my log in for here and she will fit in!
I don't really think its obtuse, to me it is just stating the obvious.
PSG are patently a far more cash rich club than us so thus their context and circumstance is just totally removed from us - the way they can trade in the market just doesn't compare in anyway to that in which Rangers do.
The players will clearly carry a higher value and premium than a Rangers player.
I genuinely wouldnt sell for £10million and I dont think the club will either.
I think gone are the days of us selling our prize assets under value.
Hate speaking about that rancid organisation however they are excellent at over-achieving on outgoing transfer fees and we need to take a leaf out of their book in this.
Roofe is similar in style to Wilson of Bournemouth but not as good. Doesn't posses the physicality of Morelos but does score goals.
You seen much of him then? Do you think he’d be a suitable replacement?
I think some have totally skewed their value of Morelos based on a supposed bid from China and what EPL teams spend on, what quite often is actually pretty genuine and proven quality from established leagues.
10 million or above for Morelos even in the current "market" which is only really teams in England and a select few in Europe is fucken mental money.
So if PSG sign Darren O’Dea on a free, he would be worth £8m the next day? They should do it more often!
I get what you’re saying, but when you can closely compare players like Weah and Morelos, or even Dembele, to say we would be lucky to get 10m is ridiculous.
Get what you are saying and do agree with parts of it however....
He is a young columbian internationalist who is only 23 and who is no doubt going to improve.
Think the key is having interest from more than 1 EPL team to drive the price up and I think there will be teams down there who are looking for a quality centre forward and will pay around £15million, even from a scottish club.
You really should pay attention to what people say. I said I was done responding to you just insulting me after you lost the debate. I’m certainly not done correcting you when you talk crap about my club.

Not entirely convinced - teams in England can go and buy what is known quality.
If interest does come from the EPL it will be a team looking to gamble which Morelos would be, all transfers are etc I get that but some are more than others and they (teams in England) don't have to do that as such, even Palace who are being linked they have had guys like Benteke and Batushyi on the park in recent years - that is the kind of quality teams in England can bring in
Benteke scored one league goal last season. Quality right enough.

I do think the want for a lot of interest from England is most likely to be us who drive it rather than numerous clubs actively bidding.
Love Morelos and want him to stay in all honesty - think he's potentially the best we've had at the club in years even with the discipline issues. My only worry is that if we don't sell him he might try and force a move or spit the dummy, Thoughts ?

He carried us at times the past season.There were games we were never scoring until he popped up.Im not saying he isn’t replaceable but it will take something special to get someone who will hit the ground running and giving us that kind of return.Believe it they fear him and want him gone.
I really disagree mate.
We have Defoe settled and just need to replace him.
For me - bottom line is he hasn’t won us a trophy so as good as he is. He is more than replaceable
Arfield & Tav Out too then ?
Arfield & Tav Out too then ?
Just when Leeds have been on TV and a couple of times when he was at Oxford in the FA cup.
30 goals is going to be very hard to replace whoever comes in.
However Tav has won trophies
Take arguments to PM and stop derailing the thread please folks.
We should stop this comparison with Dembele. He has played in EPL and CL. 1st OF hat trick for about 35 years. Same age as Alfie, played 50+ times for French youth teams.
Went for €20m to Lyon and scored 15 goals in 32 league matches. He's no diddy.
A player is only worth what teams are prepared to pay.

Good yin. Not top level trophies mate.
Old firm goals? managed to rack up a few against senderos & Kiernan must be a world beaterLyon paid 20 million for Dembele because he was ridiculously highly rated coming through Clarefontane as a kid and had established himself as one of the best players in the France 21's. Then there are his CL and Old Firm goals. If he didn't have the above that would have knocked about 10 million off his price tag easily.

I think this is pretty much the reality of the situation. I don't think Morelos wants to leave rangers as such but has dreams of playing in the EPL.Love Morelos and want him to stay in all honesty - think he's potentially the best we've had at the club in years even with the discipline issues. My only worry is that if we don't sell him he might try and force a move or spit the dummy, Thoughts ?
because he scored goals against Cardoso and Martin? Really?What the OP says is correct. It is why they were able to ask for so much.
That would also appear to include Steven Gerrard because he values him higher than £10m.I think some have totally skewed their value of Morelos based on a supposed bid from China and what EPL teams spend on, what quite often is actually pretty genuine and proven quality from established leagues.
10 million or above for Morelos even in the current "market" which is only really teams in England and a select few in Europe is fucken mental money.
