Even if that’s the case, it puts Town in a sticky position. 32 in a few months, and with Saudi interest it’s going to cost us to renew now! |  |

I could be wrong, but this is O'Rourke's style. He did something similar with Walton, making up some guff about Boro being interested. |  | |  |
Morsy target for Saudi Clubs on 21:15 - Jul 20 with 2302 views | J2BLUE | When you look at the money they are throwing around we should demand a big fee. They clearly couldn't care less what they pay. This is like when Newcastle came for Murphy. We let him go cheaply when we should have held out. Hopefully it's 2+2=5 speculation but if not and he went for less than £5m I would be quite annoyed. |  |

I think given how young our squad is, we need him this season. We're not tight for cash and I'd be prepared to even let him go on a free next summer if it meant we had a solid season and even pushed for the top 6. Unless we're offered £5m+ which would enable us to buy a readymade replacement! But he's so important to our patterns of play IMO. |  | |  |

They’re ‘only’ paying £12m for Jordan Henderson. We’d get £2m tops. |  | |  |
Morsy target for Saudi Clubs on 21:21 - Jul 20 with 2175 views | IPSWICHINIO | His age is irrelevant, Morsy is our most important player heading into this season; his quality/leadership and Championship experience will be vital if we want to have a go at top 6. Yes, it was a friendly, but we dominated Preston's midfield yesterday and we wouldn't have done without him - he was the best player on the pitch first 45mins. If they want him, they can pay whatever it will cost us to replace him, which will probably be around the 5m+ mark |  | |  |
Morsy target for Saudi Clubs on 21:22 - Jul 20 with 2161 views | Daninthecampo | I like Sam but I'm not sure he has the quality they all seem to be buying at the moment so not convinced by the story, Egypt and Saudi aren't on the best of terms these days either! If they did offer him 25k plus per week it would be tempting for him |  | |  |

I suspect many of these cheap fees are clubs offloading high earners. Morsy is absolutely critical to us and would take a big fee to replace. The big problem could be if he just asks to go. After helping turn the club around we couldn't really say no but hopefully we could get enough money to replace him properly. |  |

Morsy target for Saudi Clubs on 20:58 - Jul 20 by JDB23 | Hope nothing comes of this but what do we think it would take to let him go? £3m? |
Have seen what they paid for Mahrez!!... he's 32 and they paid £30 million for him......now I know Sam is not worth that but I see Ashton not missing the opportunity to do some major "player trading" if this has any legs at all. |  | |  |

Plus a lot of add-ons to make it nearer the £20m Koulibaly went for |  |

Morsy target for Saudi Clubs on 21:25 - Jul 20 with 2121 views | burnbudgiesburn | £2-3m for a 32 year old who has played the majority of his career in the lower divisions would be nuts tbh. What did we pay? 300k? |  | |  |

Not a chance they'd let him go for that this close to the start of the season, we'd quote a crazy price... |  | |  |

You’re comparing a multi-time PL and Champions League winner to Morsy? I hope you are doing our negotiating! :) |  | |  |

His agent agitated for a new deal last season, and we increased his pay. There may be something in this but equally would not be surprised if this is agent talk. |  | |  |

He's a lot more reliable than Nixon who currently has a 0% strike rate in itfc stories. |  | |  |

But since then he’s been away for a week in Austria and literally played last night |  |

Town are nowhere near the same side if he’s not in it….. but I can see him leaving for the big bucks and I get it from his perspective. But for the squad / team, a disaster. |  |

I'd rather Ashton did it..... it just wouldn't suprise me if he came out of a deal with another stonking signing and sizeable change... im sure wages wise it wouldn't take a great deal of money( for them) to turn his head so MA might be able to leverage a deal for the benefit of the club |  | |  |

Morsy target for Saudi Clubs on 21:01 - Jul 20 by ElderGrizzly | What does he earn here? £10k a week? You could see them easily paying £50k a week and he’d be set for life off one final contract. |
Don’t think they’d pay him that much. Maybe 25k and a longer deal than he could secure over here. Would be gutting to lose him, especially two weeks out from the season starting! Our midfield would be lacking some serious bite. |  | |  |

Yep, there is that... I'm glad he went away to Austria and played last night too... As I say, just found him not playing against Maidenhead strange at the time... This is someone who would play every minute of every game if he could, even in pre season.. hope it's just agent talk |  | |  |

In that case, with 2 years left, I'd say £5m+ or f00k off, especially this close to the season. |  | |  |
