“ The News understands that if Leicester were to sell the striker this summer, a fee in the region of £2m would be sought.” |  | | |  |

To be fair I don't think you can expect to pay much less than £2m for quality strikers these days.
If McKenna is adamant that he's the man for us then I'm sure we'll be prepared to pay it. |  |

A lot of money for a League 1 club.
I don't think the Hirst deal has any real legs anyway - don't think he'll want to be playing in L1 for at least another season. |  | | |

I don’t think the money aspect is an issue for us. I suspect we’d agree a deal in that region for him. But I suspect he’ll end up wanting to play Championship football, which I imagine he’ll get a move there. |  |

I'm not sure there are many Championship sides who can afford 2m these days. It's been said that there's a real lack of cash about in the Championship this summer. |  |

I think Leicester might struggle to get that sort of money for him out of a Championship club. He's 23, had half a good season in League One and for the less wealthy teams in that league, £2m is what you pay for first teamers rather than a squad player. If we're the ones who agree an asking price, then Championship teams might not come into it at all.
Given we seem to have sustained an interest all Summer, you'd also presume we've got at least a vague idea of his openness to the move. |  |

He's also played for a lot of the younger England age groups which will help his value. 2 million is a reasonable price for a player who's scored goals in League 1. |  | | |

2 million seems expensive for a player who scored 13 times from 40 games in league 1, only 23 years old so your hoping for improvement but will be improve that's the gamble. | | | |

One reference point played against us on Saturday. Millwall, a top half Championship team (if not necessarily by revenue) have just broken their transfer record by spending 1.7m on Zian Flemming, a 22 year old who is ex Ajax youth and had a reasonable scoring record for two consecutive seasons in the top Dutch league... | | | |

Not sure how much play your England U20 caps get when you're 23.
The biggest outgoing transfer from League One last year was £1.6m. There's a bit more money about this year but I do wonder if he's quite done enough for a rich enough club to decide he'll be their main man. [Post edited 25 Jul 2022 10:41]

Sweet. We can just use the Downes sell on. Cheers West Ham. |  | | |

Not personally sure he’s worth £2m, especially with one year left on his current deal.
You’re clearly buying his potential, but let’s not forget that he had a very similar season to Macauley Bonne last season, but finishing strong rather than starting strong.
Not my money, but not sure a League One club should be spending £2m on a player. | | | |

Hold out for £1.5m which will rise to £2m anyway with add-ons. I think LCFC are more desperate for a transfer war chest than we are to sign any particular striker. £2n is too much for lge 1. Let’s not forget we are a cash buyer and don’t need to sell to fund the move. Pompey can’t afford to buy him and if he ends up in the championship then so be it. We can move on. | | | |

on the caps it generally show's the pedigree of a player, he's only 23 has potential for a good re sale value if we get in the championship,and scored goals there he could be worth 10 million plus. Even in league 1 if he scores goals for us you would expect to get 2-4 million back.
Last year was coming out of Covid, crowds back, im not saying there will be plenty of money about but you suspect we will be one of the teams can can pay a fee of that stature if required. | | | |

here is a list off all time transfer fee (incoming only)
1 Will Grigg 18/19 Sunderland £3.06m
2 John Brayford 14/15 Sheffield United £2.07m
3 Britt Assombalonga 13/14 Peterborough £1.71m
4 John Marquis Portsmouth £1.53m
5 Mo Eisa MK Dons £1.35m
6 Will Grigg Wigan £1.27m
7 Jonson Clarke-Harris Peterborough £1.26m
8 Reece James Wigan £1.26m
9 José Fonte Southampton £1.26m
10 Gary Madine Sheff Wed £1.08m
11 Rickie Lambert Southampton £1.08m
Some decent strikers in that list. It would make Hirst the 3rd biggest in the leagues history. [Post edited 25 Jul 2022 11:20]

1 goal in 3 games isn't a bad return, when you consider some sub appearances and having to find his feet with loan moves... He started firing, once settled in at Pompey..
2m is a chunk.. But the dividend could be 4 or 5 times that, should he do well for a couple of seasons, including a good season at Champ' level..
Lots of ifs and buts. But then, that's the gamble you take, if you think you can improve a young player.. |  | | |

Jury must be out though on whether he is quality or just in the promising category. Personally I would have thought that we could get better value for money elsewhere. That said if the deal could be structured to pay some of the money on promotion that would make sense, because as has been said elsewhere his value is only likely to rise if we are in the Championship | |

Pretty sure he was predominantly a sub in the first half of the season. He's thought of highly because people are looking more at the 13 goals in 2425 mins.
(90×46)÷(2425÷13) = 22.19 across a full season
...or the reasons behind that, hopefully, so we don't get ourselves in another Pigott situation. |  |

Would be disappointed if we signed him for that amount. A rip off considering what he’s achieved so far. | |

I don't really know this guy but from one half decent season in League one, 2million sounds a lot.
England caps years ago for u20s doesn't man anything now hes 23.
I wouldn't be happy spending that much on him tbh | | | |
