Min £10M plus a player.

Tan MUST invest then. Preferably we hold out til Jan or end of season and get another 50% on top.

Lawlor has been plagued a little by injuries.

Anything less than £15m would be disappointing, because he has the potential to be worth that and more.

If someone did offer that, I could understand the club selling him but I would say we should insist on a sell on clause.

I put this on the transfer rumour thread but it's relevant here even more.

If this is all correct (and there's no reason to believe it isn't) what would people accept as an acceptable amount if they came in with an offer? 5, 10, 20 million? No amount whatsoever this summer? Everyone has their price.

I don't think we should be entertaining any offer below 10 million as a minimum. Do I think he's worth that? Not yet but he could be worth a lot more in the future.

Said this on the other thread.

I say £15m with a sell on clause, I think that's fair because he has the potential to be worth a lot more than that.

It's also not a huge figure when you consider Jude Bellingham was sold to Dortmund for £25m when he was a 17-year-old at Birmingham. Went on to be sold to Real Madrid for £100m.

Not saying that Lawlor is as talented as Bellingham but it's an example I've used to justify £15m being fair.

Oh yeah there has to be a sell on clause & what you say makes sense.

Sell on clause of about 50% because at £10m its cheap considering his latent value could be £50/60m if carry on developing

I agree. Don't really get them using Southampton as an example either, think they let Bale go for about £8m.

Would rather he stays with the rest of these young players and given a chance to step up to the Championship with Us .

£10M+ and he'll be gone. It'd be a shame, but it's the layer cake of football. He's going to the top, I have no doubts about it. We also need the money.

I'd agree with the majority and value him at £15M. He's established himself as a Wales starter and stood out in L1.

I think it's too soon though and he could do with another season with us. L1 to championship is a big jump in terms of opposition quality at the top end of the league. A move too soon may crush him and he may end up on the bench and then loaned to a Blackburn etc next season if West Ham go up.

He's 20 and yet to make 50 league appearances (currently on 39)....

I did post about this before. On Mansfield station after the game up there and got talking to a guy who it turned out was a scout for PSV ( i looked him up on line later and he was genuine) who was watching him. Funny thing was he wasn't impressed with his performance that day, but was there on the strength of his performances for Wales.

Minimum of 15m guaranteed.....plus decent additional clauses.

Personally I would keep and his value should continue to climb

In 2007, they sold Bale for an initial £5m (rising to £8m). Adjusted for Premier League football inflation, which completely outpaces regular inflation, that is worth a massive £35m to £49m in today’s market!

Southampton has a history of securing huge fees, and we need to hold that standard. I completely agree that £15m should be our absolute bare minimum, and we must push for a loan-back clause as part of the deal.

We sold Ramsey to Arsenal for £5million in 2008. Today, that would equate to £30million to £35Million, so £15Million may even end up cheap?

Fair point, was forgetting that it would be a lot more in today's market.
