Transfer Rumour Ben Doak

[mahermi1]

Solanke

Wasn't he a free off Chelsea as a youth ? Might be mistaking him for someone else like.

 

[mahermi1]

Not their academy product they got him off Chelsea for about £2 million, a bit like Sterling who they got from QPR.

Beat me to it.

The OP referenced "academy products/ buys"

 

[mahermi1]

Think Nottingham Forest right back was from there, Neko Williams.

Buying players is a lot different to developing them. They don't bring many through but they buy a lot

 

[jazzy]

Just like us with Branthwaite, the RS can name any price they want for Doak.

No point getting up in arms if they name a price we don't like.

If we don't like the price don't buy and go somewhere else.

Solanke

A success?

Nicked from Chelsea. Bournemouth paid £20mill didn't see a return until they went to championship 2 years later.

First time he scored over 7 goals in the prem was his last season for Bournemouth at 26.

So 5-6 years to become "decent"

Don't give a monkeys mate , I was replying to the OP.

I don't give a toss about what the RS do or don't do.

I only care about Everton.

He’s good player Doak but badly injury prone and the fee seems at least 33% too high.

If he did come and stay fit though, he’d be very well liked here.

He’s a quick, direct, aggressive right winger who leaves everything out on the pitch.

 

[Moomin]

Knowing that lot they'll offer a straight swap for Branthwaite.

This is what they will want, a deal to involve Branthwaite going the other way.

You said name a player the RS academy had developed / bought who was sold by them and then sold for a profit.

I did. End of.

Personally I think he's crap and not worth £60 m but it's undeniable that Bournemouth made a profit on him.

EDIT - You actually said who was a success. Even though I don't rate him I'd say a £40 m profit makes him a " success".

Oh and a certain full back called Arnold is apparently highly rated even though he can't tackle a paper bag.

 

[Toffeepot]

£10mill tops with add ons.

None of their academy products/buys have ever been sold and kicked on. So £30mill is laughable.

Unless someone can name me any.

Harry Wilson? Micheal Owen?

To be fair to them *ducks*, they usually incorporate their best academy products into the squad and end up spending a third of what Chels, Utd etc have spent over the last decade.
The issue with Doak is it's Salah in front of him who is insanely fit and rarely injured.

They are able to squeeze an extra few mil out of selling on these academy products. If we get him it won't be for less than 20 and could go to 30
Just like to presume Moyes has seen enough of him to take that gamble

True. But then put it into context with Doak.

£30mill. Waiting 5 years to hopefully get a return on the pitch.

Remember Bournemouth bought Jordan Ibe from them at the same time for the same price.

Fine , don't buy him then. That's the answer if you think they are taking the piss on the valuation.
