[Albion] How much is Joao Pedro worth?

[Cheggers]

Show me the queue. Or a credible rumour that anybody is eyeing him up. Just because we've got some eye-watering transfer fees lately, we'd be unwise to assume that every player we buy will double or treble in value after a year or two!
We won't be getting £100M for Ferguson either - or anything like it; not at the moment anyway.

Are you implying that no club is interested in buying JP?

 

[BluesRockDJ]

Just how much would it take to replace him?

Rutter cost £40K and has had to improve to get a regular starting position.

Oh yes and don't forget the penalties. They mean a lot.

£40,000 ?

Which ones?

 

[BluesRockDJ]

The worth of any player is judged by how much the buying club are prepared to pay ?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

More than we bought for him I reckon

 

[Triggaaar]

No more than the £ 30 m we paid for him, probably less now

Stick to films

 

[Triggaaar]

Maybe slightly more, but not much

I'm confident you're underestimating him.

 

[Weststander]

Your opinions please on the summer 2025 valuations of the following (mine given):

Baleba £65m (not as great a number as Caicedo, because he was more consistent imho and Boehly was railroaded into paying £25m more than a realistic sum).

Pedro £50m.

Hinshelwood £70m.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Baleba £60m - still learning hopefully he’ll stay another season, then likely to be £75m

Pedro £60m - goal scoring, adaptable forward

Hinsh £50m currently. Potentially a brilliant player, but experience wise early days.

I still think he’d be snapped up by anyone at 30m. Not good enough yet for the top 5 unless we’re 5th……. He’s 50m

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

£40,000 ?

Lol £40million. Just confirms I don't really know what I am writing about.

 

[GT49er]

I'm confident you're underestimating him.

We'll see. Obviously, things can change over time, but right now I see a good player who it's great to have in our squad (but not always in the starting XI) - but not one that we can sell on for a big profit.

He's not always in the starting 11 because he's been a bit out of form and kept out by Georgie, who is playing really well and worth more than the £40m we paid.

We won't be wanting to sell him on for a big profit, we'll be wanting to keep him. But if someone were to offer slightly more than £30m, we'd turn them down.

I do understand your reasoning.

He joined us as a quality Championship striker for £30m. His form hasn’t been consistent, he’s much to learn, but he has proven himself to be a PL level forward and finisher. I think Spurs or West Ham would benefit by having Pedro, possibly Chelsea.

No way 50m no way

 

[Simster]

I'm not sure you can easily tell what JP is worth. One thing is certain, he's worth more than the £30m we paid for him to us. As for the market, it really depends on circumstances. How happy JP is here, how desperate potential buyers are for a striker, and whether our club has a replacement lined up by then.

Would we? OK.

I thought the plan was always making marginal improvements - making a few quid on Pedro and spending less on a more than adequate replacement would be absolutely so Brighton.

Yes Spurs and West Ham probably would - not so sure that Chelsea fans would put up with any more Brighton! - besides, they've actually built quite well, and probably wouldn't benefit in the way you suggest.
However, none of them would want to pay much more than £30M - so they wouldn't, and there'd be no sale.

 

[Hiheidi]

Cunha has a £62.5 million release clause - surely we'd be looking for similar?

We didn't let Cuckoo, Caicedo, or Alexis go for a few quid profit did we. If we didn't think Pedro was any good and we could get our money back, or even a slight profit, then sure. But like other clubs, we'll think he's worth more than £30m, so we won't let him go that cheaply.
