Yves Bissouma SINGS on a 5 (five) year deal

[macbeth]

Bissouma's value is relative to how much a replacement is.

If a house was once valued at £550K and is now on sale for £450K, it's okay providing all the other houses that you want to buy have also dropped in value.

Prices across Europe are all bound to be much lower.

That depends if we replace him externally or not. It could be that the club, rightly or wrongly, plan to cover his position using Moder and Caicedo. If we've already got the replacements in-house then that strengthens our position significantly.

Well the literal benefit is £30 million pounds.

We signed him for £15 million, so the net gain would be £15 million.

Then, when you factor in that staying in the Prem each season is worth £100 million (and having Biss helps us achieve that), we would be gaining £15 million and risking losing £200 million.

There's no doubt that Tony will have a fair price in mind and wont want to stand in a players way, but I feel his fair price would be more like £40m. If we're turning down £30/35m for Ben White, and buying a Championship player (Webster) for £22m then it seems strange to sell Biss, a decent Prem starting midfielder, for £30m.

In non covid times I think we'd want £50m, but with a covid discount £40m seems fair to me. If we sold him in the £25-30m bracket to Arsenal they would see that as an absolute steal considering they've previously spent £72m on Pepe and £50m on Partey,

Spot on.

Covid or otherwise Tony is an incredible business man in my opinion. His hardline stance will continue of refusing to let an asset go on the cheap.

If we’re turning down 30 odd million for Championship Ben White, there is no chance we’re accepting the same for a key player and one of the best PL players in his position. Biss is coveted by most of the top 6 clubs and is destined for Champions League football (and he can go up another level as a player at a top club).

I think Biss will go and we’ll get a good and fair deal. Otherwise it won’t happen. Also, reading between the lines I think a deal has already been done.

There is literally no benefit to us selling for £30 million. It would be more in our interest to keep him for the remaining 2 years of his contract and let him walk for free, than sell for £30 million.

Exactly [emoji106]

 

[Seagull's Return]

The model looks - to an uninformed outsider, anyway - like we want to (develop and) sell on talented young players; doing this will make us a more attractive proposition to such players who will see joining us as a progression route to bigger clubs. So are there strategic benefits to selling Bissouma, in terms of the message it sends to other players (current or potential)? In which case I'd certainly think Biss will be sold this summer. Apologies if this has already been said: I have looked through the thread and didn't think so, but hey - it's ever such a lot of pages.

Apparently Arsenal are one of the teams interested in Yves. I wonder if a deal may be done where we pick up £15-£20m and Ainsley Maitland Niles who has started to show what he can do on loan at West Brom. We were interested in him at the start of the season.

20 million plus AMN would be an incredible bit of business for us.

Bissouma doesn't guarantee we won't be relegated, So surely we are risking loosing £230 million in that scenario if we didn't sell him.

If covid reduces his fee by 10M or so, any incoming transfers will have the same affect. Swings and roundabouts.

And we saw tonight why clubs at the level of City and Liverpool will be going all out for him this summer.

Stunning player. Deserves to play at the very highest level.

And if we sold him for any less than £40 million, even £50 million, we would be taking the piss out of ourselves.

Smith got MOTM right in my opinion ...Biss was class

 

[CaptainDaveUK]

We turned down £30M for White so cant see we’d accept £40M for such an immense talent in the heart of our midfield. Genuinely hope he stays whatever we’re offered. UTA.

 

[gripper stebson]

A quick search for Bissouma on Twitter is revealing... he's v. popular.

 

[Billy in Bristol]

Well Sky have just sold him...that's that then...

More or less what the sky pundits have just said

 

[Seagull]

Pundits saying he's worth £40-50m after that performance

 

[blue-shifted]

All the pundits think Tony Bloom is going to drop his knickers.

Not a chance

If he's going, it will be on our terms. Which will probably be the entire summer transfer of the teams they are talking about

I'm confident he'll stay

 

[Jeremiah]

He was excellent tonight - but we already knew that.

 

[saafend_seagull]

45m and a sell on. If he was English it would be 80m plus.

You'll get disappointed if you think he's staying.
