Canaries4ever 0 Posted September 14, 2004 Check out www.ontheballcity.co.uk and how much do you think Robert Green value is now. I reckon around £6 million. What do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mcsncfcmcs 0 Posted September 14, 2004 Difficult question because it depends on whether you think "how much he is worth" is the same as "how much would we get for him". Whether the rumours of the size of a buy-out clause are true or not, I would consider it very likely that Greeno''s agent only agreed to signing the new contract if one was put in place. It would work for both parties. A lower buy-out clause would make other teams more willing to buy him rather than someone else, and obviously from our end, if they would only agree to signing a new contract if the clause was in place, that''s a hell of a lot better than Greeno not signing and allowing him to show what he can do this season then walk out for nothing in May. The rumour going around is £2.5m, rising to £3.5m if capped by England. Judging by the negotiating position the club would have been in thats probably somewhere near the truth even if it does appear low when people start guessing about sums of £6m. But then again maybe there is no buy-out clause, maybe just an agreement that we wouldn''t stand in his way (and would be reasonable in our valuation-eg not pricing him out of a move) if he wants to move on?

Tufnell Park Canary 0 Posted September 15, 2004 I would be thoroughly disappointed to see Greeno leave (though probably inevitable, but I would be loathe to see him go for anything less than £4,000,000. Less than that would be sheer robbery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
