How boss is Seamus Coleman?

Even Thiago Silva, widely regarded as the best centre half in the world, only cost £33m. A £35m for Coleman is living purely in dreamland.

I'm not sure where the 35mil comes from, but he's worth what somebody is willing to pay to ensure we're willing to listen to their offer, and that would have to be more than the Lescott fee imo, especially when we haven't a seasoned replacement to step in, and he's uber-boss.

Brennan said:
Reminds me of when loads of people were insisting they wouldn't sell Fellaini for less than £30m, then it turns out his release clause was only £23m and he was only sold for £27m because Moyes delayed for so long. Fans often live in denial when it comes to the fee they'd get for their own players.

-erm, you're right in that a fee depends on a lot of factors

Think Arsenal may go for Calum Chambers, will be far cheaper than Coleman but looks promising.

Given we have no young back up let alone replacement (Stones & Browning are CBs and Kenny bit too young at 16) really would not want to sell Coleman apart from silly money. His attitude would be hard to replace at any price.

Luke Shaw at £27 million, Seamus is 3 times the player and any fee should reflect that.

If Glen Johnson is worth £17 million and Gareth Bale is worth £85 million then Coleman is worth £120 million easy and i wouldn't sell for a penny less.

Bet Bill would sell him for 32p though.

Not that Seamus would go though. He loves Everton and has a man crush on Greame Jones so couldn't bare to be parted from him, even if it meant turning down a pay rise and winning things.

Just bought him off bill for 32p, he's now for sale @ £27 million. Thanks for the tip lad.

Arsenal and Wenger are not noted for paying big fees, for Coleman thinking of Shaw then it would have to start at 30 mill plus but would rather he stayed.

A guideline of recent players sold and valuations...

Fellaini 28M
Luiz 50M
Bale 80M
Sagna 12 Million (age 31)

So yes I believe he is worth 28/30M and would be surprised if we sell for less as attacking fullbacks are a staple of the way we play and we would not risk losing that balance for a minimal fee.

So Wenger I suggest you look elsewere in one of the budget leagues as we all know you havnt got it in you to bid over 16M TRA...

Sagna??

BlueToff · June 15, 2014

Sagna is on a 'free'. Maybe £12mil in wages over the length of his contract but even that's pushing it... and it's £40 mil for Luiz as well

As always with transfers you have to factor in the player's worth to the selling club.

Coleman is under contract, best in his position in the league, in his prime, full international, no transfer request.

As far as we have been lead to believe we are under no pressure to sell or raise funds.

We don't sell cheap, for example Lescott for 24million quite a few years ago now.

Domestic players come at a premium as they are already proven successful in the Premier League.

30million + is not unreasonable in my opinion. However I still would not want to sell.

I'd say Seamie is sitting at home in Donegal drinking tea, watching all the crap right backs in the WC and laughing at this conjecture over his future.

I reckon he's drawing up a transfer request right now whilst telling his agent he wants to double his wages at a CL team.
