PSR has changed everything and sale prices will be depressed compared to previous seasons. This will have a knock on effect on the sale prices and model of the final stepping stone clubs like us and those of the clubs we buy off.

If you want upwards of £70m now it has to be for an exceptional player. I'm not sure Joao Pedro fill this category yet. He has had quite a few injuries and he's not really making the Brazil side despite the fact they are struggling. His scoring record is decent, but not spectacular. Let's see how the rest of the season goes.

Anyone looking to buy him will likely be thinking, start at around £45m and maybe go to £55m. That's only a modest profit for us given the risk and outlay we put down. If we qualify for Europe i'm confident Tony would turn this down. Possibly if we don't then it's more attractive, especially as the replacement is at the club. But i'm still not totally convinced we'd be selling for that

The problem with people saying 80m+ is that nobody can afford to pay that, so something has to give. Either we accept a lesser offer because that's what the market can afford or we hold on to a potentially unhappy player although JP doesn't seem like the type to throw his toys out the pram.
Agree. Clubs will be more conservative in what they will pay, IMHO, in order to comply with the sustainability rules. Those huge transfer fees may well have peaked.
Also add in the Chelsea takeover factor. Huge sales like Cucurella and Caicedo were a perfect storm which is unlikely to be repeated.
So, how much for Pedro? Don't know, but I'm pretty sure it will be less than NSCers (or those on here at any rate) think it will be.

Pedro is a natural goalscorer

I personally think he is the best natural finisher we have had since Zamora

I don't agree with this at all, tbh.

Joao Pedro is a FANTASTIC player. Absolutely, one of the very best footballers we have ever had at the Albion. He is definitely not a natural finisher though.

Absolutely cannot sell him in January for any price. He's literally priceless in that window, more so if the bidder is a Premier League rival.

I can see him going in the summer for a shit ton of money leaving Georginho the starting 10 next season and us possibly getting in another striker or keeping one that we loaned out, depending on squad assessment. I don't reckon Tony would take less than 80 mill personally.
When are we going to sign Georginho?

If we start selling cheap because other sides cant afford our price then maybe they should prioritise their targets . Rangers baulked at a measly 8m for Abdullah Sima , yet paid similar fees to other clubs at the same time thinking they could roll us over on the cheap as they did with Goldson and Murphy .

Either we get what we ask for or our whole buy/sell system works for our opponents and not us .

If your right then we could see a lot more swaps with added money`s to a lot of deals ?

Just me that can see him being perfect for Arsenal? I think he could even be the missing piece of the puzzle for them, and I'd be surprised if Edu didn't have that on his radar when he was in post.

Not that I want him to bloody go or anything, obviously, just being realistic. Ideally we won't lose him at all, but if we are going to, a bit of a bidding war wouldn't go amiss.
