Knight and Sibbo aren't worth that much but because its Leeds there's a Bamford tax (quite literally in their case). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r4derby Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Let’s say the club need to sell this window. Leeds come in with an offer for Sibley and Knight. How much would be a reasonable price to expect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab a dab doo Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I think you may well be right. That way no one knows if we under or over sold the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s true, but then my post is more about people stating an acceptable and realistic amount. Are both players worth £20m + together? Is one worth more than the other?

Sparkle Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Sibley and knight will easily be sold for £40 million between them in their careers and we better be getting it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's that scum-sucking pondlife of a club then they can pay at least double what any other club would be paying......though I'd rather we simply told them that none of our players are available to them while they're still run and managed by cheats....

Anag Ram Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 New owners don't need him. There's already 1001 Arabian Knights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 6 hours ago, 86 Hair Islands said: Think it says all there is to say about young Jason Knight that no less than 4 Premiership clubs are showing interest. I'd hope a huge fee will be the result if he is allowed to leave though I'd very much hope that is not the case. With another year on his back he'll be a £20 million player all day long. Equally unimpressed with the idea of losing Sibbo to be honest. Me too. My feeling is that while Mel is wealthy he may have liquidity issues .. long term investments that he can’t cash in, a whole bunch of obligations outside DCFC - selling our new Crown Jewels might be the only option if the the Middle Eastern money isn’t there. He has had to raise via one means or another the hard cash money for the stadium .. presuming he’ll get a decent return on leasing it back to the new owners .. but ... oooops. Now what do we do boys ? A 10 Million sale is cash flow that pays the bills for 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 if the Watkins rumours are true then why can't we similarly quote them a ludicrous fee and if they pay it then, well, more fool them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I think we end up selling Knight for peanuts and buy Charlie Austin for a goal scorer and he will deliver 8 goals for us next season in League 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not a Bogle/Lowe type fee, but we seem desperate at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Ram Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 I have been quite vocal on here about confidently saying we will stay up. If we weaken the team by selling both Knight and Sibley and don’t replace them with new signings I think we could be in trouble... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Let’s just say he goes to Leeds .. forget the fee and the emotions ... isn’t Bielsa just the sort of manager who will make our Jason a prem player of quality ? I watch Knight and he really reminds me of Keane .. he has some skill .. not the ultimate trickery of a super star but he can control a ball and play a first time pass. Add in the innate desire, controlled aggression, timed runs, decent vision and forethought . Then dial in the ability to hit 7000 RPM and Max Torque at 90+3 ..... he is so top of the class at flipping 19 .. you really could build a team round an engine like his. Solid steel our Jason .. hope he stays - if he doesn’t I hope he goes to the right place and has a glittering career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to get the right fee for a change. 15 million minimum I would say.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
