Would you take it in the summer ?
I think with add ons he's worth that, and I would be inclined to pay off a bit of debt and reinvest in the team. To compete we need to sell one development player a season.

Definitely not. Keep him another year and he could be worth £15 million plus and we might be in the Pemier League.r
Mon Feb 27, 2017 5:40 pm
No way at the moment.
May be our biggest asset if he can score 20 plus.
Then he will be a 15 million player.
Mon Feb 27, 2017 5:40 pm
I can't see it happening unless he carries on this great run until the end of the season. But even then I'd be shocked to see anyone bid £7m.
But I would say no, in hypothetical terms. Because his market value could increase if he scores double figures next season.

I've had faith in Zohore since the first few times I saw him play. But let's slow down a bit, he's had a good run, he needs to show this form over a longer time period, let's see if he can do it because there's guna be alot of expectations on him come August.

Normally, I would certainly agree with you,however, in today's market, the prices for forwards are astronomical...
No Cardiff City fan would have though Rudolph Gestede would have commanded two fees totalling in excess of £13m during his tenure here.
Interestingly, Fulham fans are raving about him, and they paid £11m for Ross McCormack.

At this moment in time with what he has done I'd take it in a heartbeat. NW can do a lot with it.
If he keeps scoring to the end of the season then no deal.

I love this site, always good for a laugh at times, £7 Million

, he's not worth £700,000 yet, he would need to do it consistently for a couple of season's before he was worth anything remotely close to that.
It's only a month or so ago the majority of our fans thought we would have to pay to get rid of him and that our squad as a whole was worth no more than £1.5-£2 Million. Fast forward a month and we have a £7 million player on our hands

My thoughts exactly! only at Cardiff I suppose.

I agree with you. people tend to go overboard on this forum. A couple of wins and we are heading for the play offs, a couple of defeats and we are on our way down. This player is finally showing some promise, but all he has done is to have had a decent run over a short period where he has netted a few goals. If he could do this consistently over a couple of seasons, then he may attract a decent price. I'm afraid showing a bit of form at this level over a couple of months and suddenly millions of pounds is mentioned is a joke.
Mon Feb 27, 2017 7:16 pm
A no from me..
Mon Feb 27, 2017 7:23 pm
He's not done anything to suggest to me that this run will be the norm from now on, so if that bid came in right now and Warnock could invest it in players he wants? I'd take it in a heartbeat.
He's doing well, and if he maintains it then we might have a goldmine on our hands, but he's not Warnock's ideal pick IMO, and I'm sure he'd swap him for a new player if he could.
But listen, he couldn't even get a shot on target a few months ago, so let's enjoy this ride and see how good he gets. This summer is key for his career, and he better hope he comes back in good shape else Warnock will rip him to shreds.

Ha ha, that's your opinion . if you listen to highly respected journalists such as Rob Phillips and Ian Walsh, they were discussing the exact same thing and Ian Walsh actually came out with a figure close to mine in his post match interview on Saturday.
Rather than try and ridicule the post, why don't you do a bit of research on current topics ( and I'm not talking about the 1960's 70's 80's or 90's ) then you will begin to realise what's been talked about in the media about him.
Even Warnock said the lad saved him £1.5m after just one game - so where's the logic in that valuation ?

I can only ever agree with you, can't you post something different!!! It's funny, I posted a few days ago similar. 25 goal a season?!?! Potentially yes, but at this present time he's just showing he can be capable and is in a rich veign of form. Even only a month ago he was strong and awkward but couldn't head the ball and was getting goals. He's proving. Lot of people wrong.
Having said all that and if he continues to impress this season, he could be the answer up top.
Mon Feb 27, 2017 7:47 pm
Zohore has already proved myself and thousands of other fans wrong and two of our previous managers.
If Zohore continues scoring the type of goals he has of late and with Warnock fully working with him, who would dare say he was not worth £mills come May.
Plus Zohore had just scored six goals in six games, remarkable
Good strikers in the Championship are worth £millions.
FOOTBALL IS A FUNNY OLD GAME AS THEY SAY
Mon Feb 27, 2017 7:48 pm
Not sure, but I would've taken £7 for him 2 months ago

What planet are you on? 1.5 Million is not 7 million is it and Warnock is talking in terms of what it would have cost him to bring in a quality striker, NOT what Zohore is worth, there is a massive difference there.
Its not just my opinion, its the opinion of 99.9% of this board and the majority of our fan base who only a month and a half or so ago thought the bloke was a complete and utter joke and that we would have to PAY HIM to get rid of him.
If you can link me to an article where Ian Walsh or Rob Philips have said Zohore is worth £7 million then I will gladly read it, and then I will have a drink of whatever they were drinking at the time they wrote/said it.
I reckon the kid has potential, but to say he's suddenly worth £7 million is absolutely crazy talk and up there with one of the craziest things I have ever read on this site, and theres been a few.

As a matter of interest how many threads did you post defending Zohore when the rest of us were slagging him off?
Mon Feb 27, 2017 8:06 pm
It was a hypothetical question to generate an informed discussion.
I also,said 7m with add ons Therefore if you know how football transfers work, then the initial figure is likely to be half that.
I also said in the summer, which would indicate he carries on his fantastic form until May.
With regards to Rob Phillips and Ian Walsh, the figure near to mine was quoted on the Radio Wales phone in. Perhaps you could listen on catch up later.
Mon Feb 27, 2017 8:45 pm
7 million does seem ridiculous but so have a lot of championship transfer fees. Scott Hogan 15 million only scored 21 championship goals and got a dodgy injury record. Alex Pritchard 7 million and spend most of the season on the bench. Henri Lansbury 3.5 million with only 6 months left on his contact.
If Zohore scores 6 or 7 till the end of the season we might get a crazy bid from a club desperate to go up.
Mon Feb 27, 2017 8:47 pm
I thinks his stats are fairly average at the moment. If he was worth 7.5m Warnock will have his work cut out during the Summer. Based on that figure for an average player, we would need to spend 20 million plus to bring in three fairly ordinary players. Personally, I don't think we would get 2 million if we were to sell right now. He has hit a bit of form over six games, I can't see many teams forking out mega bucks on a player who has had a handful of decent games, but who has scored 9 goals in 30 matches for his current club. Way too early to see which way he will turn out. Seen enough players over the years who flatter to deceive, we can only hope for the best and keep our fingers crossed that this one won't be a dud.
Mon Feb 27, 2017 9:05 pm
Once again one or two posts in here suggesting he's not even worth a million don't have a single clue about football nowadays.
Regardless if he has only turned a corner in his career with us since December he keeps scoring goals until the end of the season clubs will see the goal tally and will easily spend minimum 2 million, clubs don't take notice if a player has done it in previous seasons. He is currently more or less playing as a loan striker and playing out of his skin, getting goals now along the way.
I am sure Scott Hogan only got over 10 goals this season in his third season I think it is with Brentford.. bids flying up over 10 million coming in for him based on one real proper goal scoring season for Brentford.
Mon Feb 27, 2017 9:08 pm
West Brom are supposed to be looking at him, we don't Pullis pinching him for feck all, I would hate that !!!
Mon Feb 27, 2017 9:48 pm
Zohore always had the attributes, pace, power, good body strength and now he's utilising those attributes to full effect and scoring. It's been a dramatic turnaround and he's still an unknown quantity surprising opponents.
When seeing strikers like Kodjia join Villa for 11 million, I would disappointed if we sell Zohore for 7 million, as I believe he could become a much better player than Kodjia. Kodjia has reached his full potential but nobody knows how good Zohore can become.
The big test will be when Zohore gets more sussed out, will he still be able to keep up his phenomenal run of form? I just hope we keep supporting the boy as putting too much unnecessary pressure on the lad could have a negative effect.

Add me to the list of agreeing - with the above

I've always said from the off he has the physical attributes, speed, power. And during the rough patch when he first came into the team I blamed the lack of chances created and our style over him personally. I don't really take mental notes of figures of how many times I've defended him because I'm not so sad that I feel I have to prove myself to be telling the truth to someone I don't know.

Give the boy some leeway to develop first!
Plucking figures from thin air and then surmising at best!

Not saying zohore is worth £7mil yet but if strikers like Scott hogan, gestede and rhodes have gone for near the £10 mil mark, a 20 goal season next season may take him up to that
