What kind of valuation are Town likely to place on Downes? 17:18 - Jul 6 with 3394 viewsbournemouthblue

What are we likely to be asking for Downes

As with previous transfers, it's unlikely to be reinvested sadly, it just covers the losses from the previous season

Alcohol is the answer but I can't remember the question!

The brains trust at the club will hold out for at least 500k and a preseason friendly

Tough one. If he'd shone in the Championship for another year there's no reason why someone in the PL wouldn't be paying north of £10m for him.

But in L1, after the season we've had where he's not really been given a platform to shine?

I'd more expect a relegated PL team to come in and pay £3-4m for him as a Championship player than any large bids at the moment.

Pure guesswork though (I'm biased obviously, but I'd like to think he still has a substantial 'potential' premium).

I would guess they would offer 3-4 and we would want 8. We will then end up at 3.5 rising to 5

I honestly do not think we will sell him this season and if we go up then not next either.

Should be £7-£10m

Won’t be reinvested so it’s really irrelevant, could sell him for a fiver, will just cover pandemic losses.

Given the fact it will be Marcus Evans conducting the negotiations, we can expect a top-end deal of £2.5m potentially rising to £3.5m if the buying club win the Premier League and Downes makes over 250 appearances. There will also be the obligatory 10% sell-on clause.

I was trying to be optimistic, but I've got a fear that you're probably right. For every year in L1 and every year he gets older his stock drops. I thought he kicked on last season - not sure we've really seen the same jump in level this year to see his stock rise again. Not all his fault of course.

I hope nobody buys him, as I like him and personally would have him down as one of the first names on the team sheet.

Said this last year, we NEVER get big fees for the players we sell when you compare to other clubs.

Typical Ipswich to sell a player like Mings/Webster and then a year or two later they go for 4 x times what we sold them for.

Downes will go for £1.25m + top ups, half of which will never happen (England caps, Palace winning the FA Cup etc etc). So the fee will be incorrectly inflated to appease the fans.

My bad. Can't tell one tax haven from the other.

Although I need to point out in the interest of fairness that ME has relocated back to the UK. Whatever that means for his tax status.

6 months ago I would've thought we would want something close to £8m for him. Now I wouldn't be surprised if we have to take a hair cut on that, we're unlikely to be in much of a position to play hard ball. £5m? Something like that I would say.

If there was anyone with any common sense at P.R. We would loan him to a championship club for the season ,see how he performs aand at the end of season see what offers come in.

Not sure he’s got particularly bad deals for players.

Webster is probably one I think could have got significantly more for but the total received for that deal after sell on etc was still pretty good. He should have sold Bart long before.

Would say Wickham, Mings, Creswell and Waghorn were pretty good.

Depends on the offer on the table but yes potentially that is a good gamble. Mings would have been less than 15, possibly less than 10 pre loan to villa. He then went for 30. Other players see their value go yhrough the roof after a year playing well at a step up

If there was anyone with any sense, we'd start to build a team around the likes of him, Woolf and KVY, tell anyone who came sniffing to bog off and try to get back into the Championship ourselves.

And maybe that will happen. ME in fairness to him has rebuffed offers and backed managers when they've wanted to hold on to players.

Although in typical fashion, often at the wrong time (e.g. hold on to an injured Didz and release him just before he's ready to go a full season).

We got robbed for Creswell. £3.75m with a few clauses.

I know that was then, but it could be again..

And no one was interested in him at that price, he was due to go to Championship Fulham before Mick talked Big Sam into taking him to West Ham in the PL.
