Cardiff want double that money offer:

Thu May 02, 2024 6:36 am

Derby County have offered £300,000 to sign Cardiff midfielder Ebou Adams on a permanent deal this summer. Cardiff are willing to sell but want double that figure from the newly promoted Rams. #DCFC #ccfc

That's good, we've got someone they want, about time we played hardball with sales.

In today's market 1 million minimum, they clearly want him bad so we should say 1 mill or walk.

It will be nice for us to actually fight to get a good fee more than once in a while

It’s a gamble.
We say £1m, if they walk we’re left with a players wages on our books that we don’t want.

£300,000 is a figure I’d expect to receive for someone like Ollie Tanner ( could you see Derby wanting him :lol: )

£750,000 with add on incentives appears the going rate for a sought after championship player.

Nah, now he's in the shop window, sell him to somebody else else for £750k, he's £400k on Transfermkt and it will be be a bit of payback for Snowgate to see their best player gone.

:lol:

It's an odd one, as we signed him for free and he hardly set the world on fire before dropping a division with Derby County; so what makes us think he'll make the step up...?

If we don't want him, we should ask for £500k but take up the offer of £300k, if it means he is off the books and we get some of his wage layout back... :ayatollah:

1m and 2m?

Not a chance.

They are taking a punt on him making the step up, which he failed to do with us.

Its not just about the sale price, its about freeing up wages too.

Ask for = £1M ... and through in a few tonnes of grit to sort out any snow problems they might have over the winter ;)
