His new contract has 4 years or so right? I think we can convince him to stay, earmark him as captain to lead us out to BMD and then see from there. That said, I think finances dictate here and he will be sold. StevO and London Blue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badaids Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 We need to be getting at least €107.36 million for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffRob Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 I think given his physical attributes, age, current ability (never mind now he's only going to improve), and the 4 years on his contract then he is in the mega fee bracket. there is not a team in the country that wouldn't want him. Was great in a technical Dutch league and even better this year in a more solid defence type (and part of a very good defence in the best league in the world). definitely in the mega transfer fee bracket. teams build dynasties around a center back like this. dunlopp9987 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know what Jarrad should be valued at but unfortunately for us the situation in football has changed dramatically clubs are unsure what they can spend so we won’t get the 100m we believe he is worth Jarrod is in a position were he will probably double his wage even more than double he can’t say no to that but the good thing for me is if someone had offered 25m for him last summer he probably wouldn’t be here now I don’t think our staff realised how good he was so if we get something equivalent to 70/80 million I’ll be happy with that. as far as I know PSV were the only team to submit a bid that was 8m.

RuffRob Posted Friday at 16:23 Report Share Posted Friday at 16:23 There definately won't be the amount of spending we have been used to seeing, but there will be the odd one or two players that clubs will pay top doller for and I see Jarrad as that type of player - we shouldn't be selling ourselves short. I have said before, he will be a first class centre back for a top club for 12-15years. Great teams are build off foundation off top centre backs. Some of these clubs generate £100m a season - they can afford it if they really want him. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends how the deal is structured is 70/80m not a big fee. I see we are trying to persuade him to stay for another year this would be good that’s according to media but this could just be a front by Everton.

If he needs persuading to stay another year then he shouldn’t have signed a contract until 2027 only six months ago.

He could easily turn out to be a Ferdinand, Vidic, Van Dycke, Kompany, Terry type defenders for one of these 'top' teams, look how much these players give the respective teams.

He could also look at Stones as something of a cautionary tale - yes he earned a boatload and won trophies but he never left his mark on the game in the same way those you mentioned did - he was talked about as the next Moore / Becoenbauer and he never came close. That said I'm sure he's not crying into his bank or trophy cabinet!!! #staywithusjarrad Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the message he sends to Jarrad is, don't get injured . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit harsh comparing him to World Cup winners London Blue, Romey 1878 and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
