wellfan Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 I’d hope, for Stama and the club’s sake, that a deal is struck allowing him to remain in Oz and bring his contract here to an end, as there’s no point in him coming back over here to rot. It would probably be beneficial for both parties though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be a very tricky and awkward position for him to be in. Unfair on the player. It shows the risks with loans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could get say total of £4 million combined for pair of them then its great business and you give JBA half of that to spend I think Maswanhises value will have reduced considerably since January. He's was over hyped in January but equally we don't want to over hype the other way with the drop off. If we got a bid of around £1 / £1.5 million for him Id take it. Sadly I think we will lose one of Watt and Just , possibly even both if the bids were high enough, which would be a real pity. However this gives us a chance to see the managers transfer skills to find players that would fit his style. Thats if he stays of course 😱 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewelllfan Posted Sunday at 08:21 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 08:21 AM Glad too see we're not over reacting to Maswanhise's dip in form. I did say I would have sold in January as that was where he was going to peak valuation wise.As I've already said if Hibs are getting 6m for Bowie who had scored 8 goals we have to at least get 4-5M for a guy who's on 17 league goals and 22 in all comps.

Why if he was worth that in January he's worth that now. Hibs probably didn't think they were getting 6m for Bowie. Aberdeen got 6M for Miovski and 4M for Ramsey. We can get 4-5M for Maswanhise. He's 23, plays for his National team, scored 17 in the league. We need to get proper value for our players. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think he is technically suspect but that is just my personal opinion. I just don't buy the hype. He's a good player but for me he's not a £4/5 million pound player. Sure he's scored goals so did KVV and Theo Bair. "We need to get proper value for our players".... of course we do but we will only get what someone is prepared to pay and for me I just don't see a £4/£5 million pound bid coming for him. The close season will tell who is right you or me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted Sunday at 10:56 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 10:56 AM Not saying we will get £4-5m for Maswanhise, but we certainly wont get his true value if we go into any negotiations with a negative mindset. JT's form might have dropped off a little, but his numbers havent gone down. 22 goals for a guy who isnt an out and out striker is pretty impressive. Also, he has something a lot of other strikers dont have and thats pace. I fancy he will get 1 or 2 more goals before the end of the season, and I trust Brian Caldwell to get the best deal possible for us. Anyone who can get us £1.8m for Theo Bair knows how to negotiate.

Thing is, Hibs didn’t just decide he was worth £6m. They had a club in Serie A willing to actually pay it. Once that happens, we're negotiating in a different tier. That’s what drives the fee up. Similar to what happened with Lennon. With Maswanhise, as good as he’s been, we’re not quite in that position yet. The interest, from what I've seen, hasn’t reached that same level where multiple clubs from stronger leagues are pushing the price up. That could, and hopefully will, change, of course. You don’t get £5m because a player is “worth it” in theory. You get £5m because someone is willing to pay it, usually because they think they’re getting ahead of the curve. Profile matters as well, whether people like it or not. Bowie fits the classic mould clubs across Europe want. Big, physical, leads the line, can play as a focal point. That kind of striker is harder to find, so there’s a built-in premium there. Again, we might get a fee of around £5 million for Maswanhise, but it'll be market value that determines that, not us. Unless we're prepared to knock back anything below that and risk pissing off the player, his agent, and so on. A lot of moving parts, basically.

grizzlyg Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Probably usual bull but apparently sellik interested in Ward, that's fine...sell him for £1.5 million, sign a replacement for 1/5 the cost who will be as good if not better. I like my keepers saving shots and good at. Crosses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ship has sailed on keepers with shot stopping and crosses skill in the same way defending and tackling is no longer a top priority for full backs.
