How much would you sell him for if the club decided they needed to make pure profit?
Personally I think he's better than Afam Wharton who has been picked for the Euros????
But if a club came in and offered 40m+ then I'd be inclined to sell as long as that money improved the squad
Could we replace his potential for £40 million though.Quote:

I wouldn't sell for £40 mil, Tut. If he develops as we all hope and as his performances suggest he will, he'll be worth way more anyway before too long.
For me, along with Anderson, he's a very important part of our future.
Any profit triples.. 40m turns into 120m for ffpQuote:

Not doubting his talent, but whats the end game? Its a bit unclear for me
I don't think I'd sell for £40 million either.
I think we keep him progessing as he has and he'll be worth a damn site more.
Even with the FFP value being around £120.
£65m would be tempting.Quote:

Selling would be a massive mistake. He's better than that Mainoo kid 100% better, proved it in the cup match when he pocketed him..I've said it before.
The lad is gonna be a world.class midfield. He's a geordie and a really level headed, consciousness professional at 17.
He will go on to be worth £100+mil I have no doubt
By tempting, I mean if the first offer of £65m in cash came in it would start the conversation.Quote:

With the support of Murphy dipping in and out, selling Miggy on for £20m we've ticked that recruitment box for £7-9m quid. Excellent business.
Just seems like creating more work and headaches to sell one of Europe's emerging talents in that position we have on the books to then go out and negotiate with other clubs to bring in a player with equal potential.
Shouldn’t be sold, full stop, can’t believe we are even discussing this. I know it’s all hypothetical but howay man!
Talk of 40 million is fanciful. He’s talented but very young and raw. He would benefit hugely from a loan move to a team who play a similar style to ourselves at either Championship or even League One level. I’d be looking at this option for next season with a recall clause incase we’re plagued by injuries again.
