Tomer Hemed on his way?

[sjamesb3466]

Most of the time I'm grateful there isn't a thumbs down button, until now.

OK, it's just a different opinion to you. It would be a boring world (and NSC) if we all agreed

Very true, but come on only £3m, for a goal scoring striker with plenty left on his contract.

I would obviously like more but I wouldn't be gutted if he left for £3m as I think we have proven a couple of times in the past that you can get good strikers from abroad for less than that. It would however depend on whether we had a replacement identified with a realistic chance of signing.

I don't have anything in particular against Hemed, he has just never wowed me and despite often playing well he has too many games where he just doesn't threaten. Saying that he is still easily the best striker than we own outright which still worries me for the season ahead

If we got £3m or more for him I would sell personally. Scored a decent number of goals this season but a fair few were from penalties. Never looks that convincing when presented with an opportunity and struggles to open up teams and really dominate a defence for a big man. Guess it would depend on whether we can get anyone better for the same/less money as a replacement

Signed for a few between £1.5mil to £2mil and you'd sell him for £3mil after a good first season with us? If he was to go the club would not sell for anything less than 4x what they paid for the player.

The sub plot is the Argus article stating we could break our club transfer record this summer.
If this is to be spent on a forward then a sale on one of the current crop would supplement such a deal.

Middlesbrough are in negotiation with Nelgrado from Spain (formerly Man City).
Jordan Rhodes knows he is not wanted by the manager who wanted McCormack.

I like your thinking

Yea because he's really going to take a 50% paycut and drop down a division.

Not a bad theory, but big spanner in the works is that Rhodes is supposedly on over 40K a week. Signing him would smash the clubs wage structure open.

If Boro were going to lose a striker would expect it to be Nugent.

I did think it slightly strange that he seemed to return to Tel Aviv from Tenerife and not come back here.

Good stirring chief. The entire squad have been given time off and have posted various photos in places other than Brighton. On this basis are we also to ascertain that Kayal is re-signing for Celtic (maybe not after tonight...) and Rosenior for a London based team?

 

[GreersElbow]

Oh damn it, no impending doom then disappointing.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Cantor has retweeted something from Raphael Gellar (BBC world football correspondent) stating he is 99.9% certain Tomer is going no where...no doubt some will now be hanging on that .01% and crying in there cornflakes..but I'm taking it he is going no where....feck least we have players people want to buy!

I don't get some supporters. Most clubs are after 17 goal strikers and yet you are happy to sell a player who had never played in England before this season and scored 17 goals in his first season for £3 million. Hemed may not have wowed you but he was one of the top Championship scorers last season.

How many Championship and even lower Premier league teams would miraculously find a spare £3m, should the Albion decide that was Tomer's market value.

 

[rocket rony]

read this morning that hemed rejects maccabis offer , but the negotiation isnt over yet.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

How many Championship and even lower Premier league teams would miraculously find a spare £3m, should the Albion decide that was Tomer's market value.

And it would cost 6-8 million to replace a 17 goal per season striker.

No chance Tony would take a 5 million net loss on him by selling for 3 million.

[The bid is] "Doomed to fail" says an Albion source speaking to the Argus.

Its not his value and they won't.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

It's a pretty lousy move by Tel Aviv, trying to poach Hemed, without even making a bid for him.

 

[Stat Brother]

Yes that's what we're all trying to tell sjames, who seems to think there are deals like Tomer's littered around the continent.

 

[Seasidesage]

I would think we wouldn't even consider it for less than £7m in this market. 17 goals in his 1st season in English football, played a number of games towards the end when dead on his feet too, which won't have helped his goals ratio. With a better and more consistent strike partner I would expect him to score 20+ this season...
