How much are Esteve, Egan Riley and Trafford worth?
My estimate:-
Esteve ?25m.
Egan-Riley ?20m.
Trafford ?30m.
VK could spot a good player together with a few flops.
Trafford, Esteve and Egan-Riley have been immense this season. If we are promoted can we really afford to sell the heart of a record breaking defence? If you look at how newly promoted Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton are faring this season they all look certainties to come straight back down. Whoever gets promoted this time around will need to add quality not sell a chunk of their best players. What is the solution to the chasm that appears to be opening between the Premier League and the Championship? Only Wolves appear to be in a relegation battle and I doubt whether they will go down. Otherwise there is a 13 point gap between West Ham in 16th and Ipswich in 18th place.
Realistically
Esteve 40-50 million ( he has everything to play at the highest level ) if we let him go for 25m it?s a joke
He reads the game like a Alan Hanson but has lots of pace as well
Egan Riley - I?d agree with as I can?t see all the attributes Esteve has but could be proved wrong
So at the minute 20-25 m
Trafford I?d say has to go for 40m plus he will go on to be the real deal and any less than that is a steal.
If we go back up we have to keep them. We must nail down a contract for CJ now and not prevaricate. I would like to see Roberts stay too. It’s almost got to the point where I predict a score line with it ended in nil. Unbelievable Jeff!
Esteve will have a valuation ceiling being a championship player. I can't see us getting more than 30 million for him.
Egan-Riley is an excellent footballer and is an upgrade on Ben Mee. I would value him around 15m million as he has no premier league experience
Trafford is an excellent goal keeper but once again has to prove himself at Premier League level. He also has a ceiling level at around 25-30 million due to being a championship player
If we get promotion we should definitely keep Esteve and CJ who would probably sign a new contract. We should cash in on Trafford, bring in an experienced keeper on a free and make a bid for Delap at Ipswich
I think Ballcocks valuations are realistic 👍
I’m reading in the Spanish press that Roberts is still a Sporting Lisbon asset and we have no option to buy him!![]()
