Sure hes up there with ronaldo and messi at the minute. Might be, he’s been outstanding in Europe this season. I just think there’ll be a ceiling on what people will pay for him and Edouard purely because of the league they play in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA1972 9,479 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 My hope would be that we’re going to use the money saved on wages for dross that we’ve got rid of like Herrera and Grezda to pay Alfie a bigger wage to try and keep him a bit longer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I am sure that the board have a better idea of how to maximize Alfredo's value than we do. Nothing is written in stone and he may not leave this summer. I still think that winning the league is a possibility and playing in CL may be enough to keep him for another season. I'd love to think so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzalivesforever 1,987 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Had Alfredo played in a different European country like Italy or France he'd be talked about going for £40m-50m imo. Unfortunately because he plays in Scotland there will be a ceiling to his price. Take Sandro Tonali for example. Young player, great potential. Couple of caps for Italy but playing for the 2nd bottom team in Italy and he's on the verge of joining Liverpool for £45m. Morelos has a geographical disadvantage by playing in this country.

He wont go for more than, say, £40 million, so if we add a release clause for £40 million for him a big spending club might be more inclined to just pay that and take the chance rather than getting involved in a bidding war with another big spender who they might lose out too.

bornabear 6,200 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 So if it's in the rhag it must be true. Haha I see this story as deflection from the rancid racism we've seen lately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearsden bear 2,376 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Saw something online last week from his agent i think on instagram with a Colombian flag and pen at ibrox/htc. He is massive for us and is getting better all the time. Its a good move to back him with slight increase in wages for a longer term imo. I still think we'll punt him in the Summer though😀 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we somehow manage to hold onto him for another couple of seasons the last thing we can afford is for him to get into the last couple of years of his deal. The other side of the coin .He could down tools so to speak Must admit .We love him but not sure he has earned another long term contract .On top of the last one No goals v scum ,not many against sheep and not many tight big game winners .The 1-0 wins that our legends used to come up with so often I would be holding off until the summer time .See if we have actually won anything If not .Cash in for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the cry was no 3,027 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 When Alfredo signed 2 and a half years ago he came from Finland for £1m and would probably be on about £6/7k per week His first season was decent but not spectacular which is not unusual for a young player in a new league making a step up Second season Gerard improved him massively and he has become a key player so, correctly we protected our asset last year by renewing his contract possibly at £20k p/w which would be in keeping with a £10-15m valued player This season he has improved again and added in a phenomenal Euro campaign which has increased his profile and value vastly Two things make sense for me 1) Increase his wages to a level that would mean that only a move to a top team would make him considerably more money. If we paid him an extra £20k per week that equates to £1m per year for say 4 years. We are effectively tying in a £30m player for £4m - in total we would potentially pay him £2m p/a for 4 years - £8m - we couldn't replace him for this over this period. 2) In return he agrees a release clause of min £30m. This stops say a Leicester or an Aston Villa bidding £15m and turning his head, he downs tools and we have our biggest asset effectively on strike Ross Wilson is very experienced in dealing with these matters and I trust him and Gerard to get this right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

teddybear1975 2,012 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I think there is a fair chance he'll be sold in the summer however when we win the league he may decide to stick around for a crack at the Champions League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 If we get fresh investment I think we keep him, if he is still willing to put up with all the shite he gets here. Let's hope so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
