super dave 0 Posted August 1, 2016 Ssn reporting that we''ve rejected a 3mil bid from West hamSurely worth more than that!He''ll be a major player for us this season in my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted August 1, 2016 Last year of contract, has said he wants to leave before so can''t imagine he''s really changed his mind. £4m probably the maximum he''s worth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted August 1, 2016 I dunno about this. If that leaves us with just Toffolo then it doesn''t look great. £4m is pittance these days even if he is in the last year of his deal. I''d rather lose him for nothing in summer or sell him in Jan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich T The Biscuit 562 Posted August 1, 2016 I''m with you TJ.I have a massive dislike for Wet Sham and they clearly have money to burn, the offered up £7m for Robertson from Hull and the pay pittance in rent for the Olympic stadium so if they want him that badly then make them pay over the odds!

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted August 1, 2016 Totally agree TJ - I''d sooner keep Olsson @ £4mil for the season if it means he plays a vital part in getting us straight back up - he may even renegotiate a new contract then if we''re back where most of us think we belong.Unless of course AN feels he can replace him with the ''next Martin Olsson'' for the same money but 5 years younger, then that would make sense.

Born Yellow! 0 Posted August 1, 2016 considering the inflated market...i wouldnt take anything less than £5.5m....we would need a replacement for sure, take all you can from West Ham as they do have the money!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted August 1, 2016 £3m pffftttttt 😄😄😄May aswell keep him for that fee.Take no less than £5.5m Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzar 1,701 Posted August 1, 2016 Full Swedish international who looked good in the Euros. A year left or not, West Ham are loaded and desperate. £7m. £6m if they take Jarvis back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lharman7 39 Posted August 1, 2016 Yep £5.5m - £6m in today''s inflated prices. As long as we could get an adequate player in. I''m feeling West Ham could cough up enough dough with this one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted August 1, 2016 In his prime years as a footballer, first choice international in his position - I wouldn''t want to take less than £6m for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted August 1, 2016 They were rumoured to be offering £4.5m for some swedish left back who plays for Copenhagen. Went to euros didn''t play. Because the guy keeping him outta the side is only worth £3m 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkngood 1,070 Posted August 1, 2016 Far to cheap 3 million ! to think it would maybe cost us 1 million loan fee to replace him with a loanee learning his trade !got to be worth 7 million or we keep him for a year but going from his past days would he force a move ??? :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FenwayFrank 2,427 Posted August 1, 2016 We can''t make him stay if he wants to leave. Get as much as we can for him and get a replacement in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkngood 1,070 Posted August 1, 2016 i agree if he wants to go and lets face it every player wants to play in EPL he has served us well in the years he has been here but lets not just give him away remember we are bidding 12 mil on a player 2 years older !

Thecanaryfan 0 Posted August 1, 2016 We paid 2.5m so we should be looking to sell for a lot more than 4m. The Club should be thinking no less than 6.5m.We really do need him this season. I wouldn''t want to see him leave at any price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 261 Posted August 1, 2016 Final year on his contract puts Olsson in control; if he wants to move he can probably sulk for a season and pick up a stronger pay packet next summer, leaving us with an under committed and under performing player. His performances have improved markedly since his shoulder op, we are probably fortunate he didnt have it fixed earlier.If we have an alternative lined up then taking that plunge now would sensible. But that is plenty of ifs...As for value thats hard to judge; it would help enormously to have another club involved to get the value up; however given his age getting £5m+ will be a a good deal even in todays inflated market.

Highland Canary 76 Posted August 1, 2016 Would be desperately disappointing to lose one of our two PL level defenders. However, the first order problem is attack not defence in the chumps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Ink 0 Posted August 1, 2016 Too late to be ding-dong over silly prices. Slap 7.5 million on his head. If they pay it he goes if not he stays. Simples. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Essjayess 307 Posted August 1, 2016 I doubt he would sulk ZLF, hes a first rate professional in his prime and needs to be playing week in week out, to keep himself in the shop window for next summer. It may not be his 1st choice, but hes contracted for another season, and as such will play his best while hes a City player. Much here depends on Brady also of course, if he stays then we have Brady and Toffs for LB position, but if Brady departs then clearly its just Toffs. I think Alex will see what happens with Brady before allowing Olsson to leave.Also i dont think Alex really wants to be hunting for a new LB, he has enough with existing comings and goings, especially up front, plus the kick off in a few days.

pete 318 Posted August 1, 2016 If Olsson misses out on move to PL because not enough offered he may well throw his toys out of the pram however if he doesn''t play or plays poorly will not get a move next season. So needs to continue to perform. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted August 1, 2016 Olsson is in the last year, so we can''t really expect to get too much - but good to see us turn West Ham down. Interesting that they''ve also been knocked back on signing Gibbs from Arsenal (poss on loan). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andgreen 0 Posted August 2, 2016 Are West Ham this country''s favourite charity or something? They''re given the Olympic stadium for a pittance of a rent and now expect to have similar priveliges on prices they pay for players....And it is a pittance of a rent when compared to the tv money they will receive from Sky.

Lessingham Canary 99 Posted August 2, 2016 As DD said earlier in the thread, £10m Jesus the lad just had a good euro''s, probably Sweden''s outstanding player, start high and see what we can get, if any club can afford him its Wet Spam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 47 1,351 Posted August 2, 2016 The question for me is who we would bring in to replace him.In the case that Brady and Olsson both leave, we can''t be relying on a youth player who hasn''t set foot above League One. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkngood 1,070 Posted August 2, 2016 west ham owner gold just tweeted that 2 signings are closegiven their left back has been injured in pre season i can see this one happening soon anything under 5 mil is a jokeif brady follows him out of the door means we have the whole of the left hand side to replace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
