Middlesbrough, Brum and bizarrely Bristol Rovers.

Not sure what sort of fee we should be asking for but didn't Exeter get £800k for Ollie Watkins? If so, needs to be similar if we are to sell Blues and Boro could easily afford that too.

Not sure I can take a site seriously when it says he scored against Cheltenham last month...

We may be looking at another striker for Jan.anyway with Dan Holman not setting the "woods"on fire at his loan club.Four starts no goals and subbed each time,can`t believe he has become such a low on confidence player.

Some players are never the same after injury. Matt Jansen being the most obvious.

Hardly any rate of interest currently so makes no difference.

They could, of course, mean Bristol City...which might not be that much of a surprise.

Inflation busting rate of return.

Could have been great for a C&G advertising campaign if they still existed.

Bristol Rovers are in league one.

I just hope Barry Fry was not impressed with what he could see against Swindon. Really do not want to see this squad get broken up.

The only way it should be broken up is if clubs make very large offers for our players. If we sell Eisa for less than a club record fee to a Championship side I would lose faith in the board given the money floating around in the top two divisions now.

Very true. As I said re Pell a few months ago, put a stupid price on him - we don't want to lose the player so it needs to be more than worth our while if we do sell. But let's be serious for a moment - Eisa has played 12 or so games in the football league in his life. 15 months ago we thought Dan Holman was going to be the best striker in League 2. Let's just hope Mo keeps on scoring for us and he's playing in League 1 for us next season.

£1m minimum for Eisa though preferably £2m if the Board are serious.

I guess the comparison is Dwight Gayle who Dagenham signed from obscurity and whom moved to Peterborough very shortly afterwards for a decent six figure fee. Does anyone know what that was?

I'm trying to think of similar league two prospects moving to the Championship only one who comes to mind is Ollie Watkins who I think Exeter got £800k from Brentford so that should be a yardstick in my opinion, not sure we'd get quite as much given how few games but then Brum and Boro will have a lot more money than Brentford!

Peterborough paid £500k-750 in January 2013 (so add on the transfers inflation and we'll closer to £1m now) AND then sold him for somewhere ranging £4.5m to £6m(!) in July 2013 to Crystal Palace, which netted the Daggers a further £1m in sell-on.

Thanks RCS then I certainly believe we should be looking for a high end or even seven figure fee if this turns out to be true.

Do people honestly think clubs would pay a million plus for Eisa. He's new to league footie and has started really well but still a gamble to take on a raw recruit. Other players mentioned who went for high fees were experienced players. If Eisa was to be sold which I hope he isn't I think it could be 4 or 5 hundred grand with larger knock ons than usual. If clubs offered a million I'd bite there hands off

Given the current market, we should accept nothing lower than a million.

If clubs will pay that, I have no idea. Probably not right now but if he bangs them in for us next season in League One then who knows!

A player's only worth what another club is willing to pay for them.

Unless he's worth more to the club that "owns" him, i.e., he's more valuable on the pitch scoring goals for them, rather than have the money.

Indeed. If a selling won’t accept £1m but do accept £1.5m even though the buying club was willing to pay £2m then it is the selling club who set the value.

I think you have to compare to other players Shevates, Dwight Gayle is the obvious example who came very far down the pyramid to Dagenham and was quickly sold for a decent six figure fee as RCS confirms above. Luton have also done it with Vassell to Birmingham for £400k.
