Those new contracts we handed out to James and Ulloa last season are biting us on the ass.
Out of all the crazy decisions our club has made over the last couple of years, giving new contracts to those two has to be up there.

The fact they have contracts means they have a value and cannot just walk away on a free.
They might be surplus to requirements, but that only happens when we have replacements in place here.
Just because we have money does not mean anyone we ask will choose to come here over a perceived 'more attractive' club.

To replace James on the cheap we could have promoted a youngster and hobbled them.
No it doesn't. It means they have a cost, to us.
They only have a value if we're going to use them, or if another club is prepared to pay a transfer fee, and pay them at least what they're on now.

I have absolutely no idea where this number comes from. How have you calculated this figure? Genuinely interested.

What do you think he’s worth in today’s market BM?

No idea. 4.2 million? 180 quid and some new footballs? 50 marbles? Any answer I give would just be a random number. I don’t know which clubs are interested or how many or what kind of financial state they’re in, I don’t know anything about his contract or his agent, I don’t know what comparable players are being sold for, and so on. I know virtually nothing that would allow me to have any clue what figure represents his market value, so I’m curious what formula was used to arrive at the one above.
not calculated just guestimating based on money being spent on midfield players in the championship: Etebo £6.5m, James McLean £5m, McNair £5m.
none of these are 29yo winners of league one, championship and Prem with 40 championship goals....56 total
it would seem reasonable to demand a fee that reflects the standard of player he is (which is not the low standard some on here would suggest)
he's not a 33 year old journeyman who has 'lost it' and so we should either keep him to play in the u23s and continue his commitment to the club and become a coach over time OR get the money his achievements in the game should command. he got usurped by Kante and Drinkwater (both £35m) and lost his way but he hasnt become a bad player to be given away.

There's a logic to it then. Thank you.
