Going with the Fernandez rumours here. We've just signed him, he's doing very well and will definitely need replaced if sold. Let's stop selling ourselves short. Club should quite simply say 25m+ or don't even ask

Winning titles adds a lot of value to players. We win the league and Scottish Cup. I'd say we could argue 18m plus, but then again, look at Bassey.

I disagree, the quicker we can convert transfers, the better.
We need to improve our appeal as a pathway club to higher calibre players.
Taking a player from Peterborough and moving them to the Bundesliga in a season would make us significantly more attractive.
Keeping players for far too long has been our Achilles' heel.
That's why it's important we keep players like Souttar and Barron - who, although not world-beaters, are solid professionals and can provide a level of consistency as the spine of our squad.

To add to what EHL said, if you slap an unrealistic price tag on him and he wants the move, you're going to have an unhappy player.
You can argue he's signed a contract, etc., but that's the reality, and if a Bundesliga team comes in for him a season after leaving League One, I can't see him wanting to hang around too long.

Let's enjoy Fernandez a little. Too soon to be talking about selling. His value will rise for sure, but use him, then lose him for very good money.

Ehl, I must say I disagree. There is no point in having a player trading model if we just sell at the 1st opportunity.
Yes, it makes us look like an attractive stepping stone for players.
But, as a club, we will have no stability and are unlikely to be successful on the park.
We should be looking to get a minimum of 2yrs service out of a good player, but, hopefully, more likely 3-4.
Players will need to perform on the pitch and be successful to get those moves. Not just play minutes.

Zikos, I don't think he's saying sell at the first opportunity. He said the quicker we can turn them over the better. If someone comes in with a bid of 5mill, then don't turn them away, but if an offer of 15 million comes in, that's a very good deal.
League One to the German top division after one year at Rangers is a good look for the club and is an example you can use in future for other negotiations with top talent.
I know what you mean about stability, but not every player we sign is going to have that progression after one season. Raskin has been here for 4 seasons.

All very well holding out for £25M, but if he gets injured, has a severe drop-off in form, or even just is annoyed at not being sold, we might not even get the first decent price offered. If it meets our valuation (the club's), then take the money and reinvest it in 4 more Fernandes-type players. That is the player trading model we need.

Absolutely, Angus. ? We must sell at the correct time, and that applies to any of our players, as we'll have a valuation on each one. ? Remember the £30million or so we missed out on in not cashing in on Alfie and Kent at the correct time. ? That's the very harsh lesson here. ?
