Cody McDonald - What Price?

[Canaries Utd 0]

I posted this in another thread but got no responses, I''m just interested to know what price is on his head as he has had a phemnominal season, he is a valuable asset to us, potentiality in a striker role or in a price.

£30m because he''s the best striker ever and Lambert was an idiot for letting him go on loan because we never score now and we need him so much and he''s the bestest player everrrrrrrrrrrr and he''s better then Rooney Torres Messi and Ronaldo put together because he''s the bestest player ever and he even plays in goal.Lambert out.

[Excited Canary 19]

League One sides will be interested in him next year, about 500-750k.

[paul moy 235]

This question was posed a few weeks ago. Bearing in mind Holt was about 600k, Cody would be about 400K at the moment by my estimation. I really do think though that after his next move he will be worth a lot more. Two good feet, a good head, coupled with great pace, control and enthusiasm will take him to the Championship and very possibly higher with us. We would be crazy to let him go until we have properly tested him at a much higher level.

I''m not about to start any thread about him, but if others want opinions I will give mine, as will others, hopefully without resorting to abusing other posters.. Otherwise, we might as well shut this discussion board down.[|-)]

Barry Fry rates him @ £5m.

 

Seriously, Cody has turned into a good piece of business for us, thanks to Bryan Gunn.

 

I don''t think he could quite make it any higher level than League 1, although I am beginning to fancy him more should we not get promoted. Something about late developers... and there have been a few.

 

 At the very least,  if he keeps scoring for the Gills it could well mean a tidy £750, 000 for us.

Add: Decent post Mr. Moy and made more so by the talk of £3m for a Peterborough playerwith no experience beyond one year in the Champs.

I think it irrelevant really pl has put him out on loan to gain experience not to flog him on. So your answer is nothing. But if desperate I am sure the club would be looking at about 400,000 to 500,000 tops.

[Mike 68]

£250''000 tops

I don''t think you can say, if CMS is worth 3 million, then you would think he could get between 750k-1million upwards, this all seems allot though for a sticker in the 4th division. I would personally like to see him be loaned out again next season to a league one club and continue is education, this is still his first full season as a pro remember !

It is amazing isn''t it, that we already have a player that could have scored those extra few necessary goals this season on loan at Gillingham, but we could be willing to fork out 3m for a player just as unproven at the higher level as Cody. It really beggars belief and surely the better deal would be to pay the Gills a tidy sum to break the contract, as I''ve suggested before.

Remind us all how many goals Cody has scored in the Championship?

[Gingerpele 0]

You mean the one he got in 1 start and 6 sub appearances, in his first half season at a professional/non conference club? at quite an old age to be starting professional football.

So nowhere near the Championship experience of CMS then?

The fact is that his Championship experience is limited so there is a big risk, and is that risk worth paying 3m for ? It''s a big difference to the 25K we paid for Cody.

Halve both figures (maybe even more) and we''re in the ballpark.

Cody MacDonald.

He isn''t young.

But he didn''t start professional football at a young age. So despite the fact he is 25ish now. He is only in his 2nd/3rd year of professional football. And its essentially his first full season, as he wasn''t really given a chance last season (and when he was, he did manage to score a couple).

My opinion, of his status at the club, is that if he were going to be sold. He would have gone to Gillingham in January, i believe their manager said they wanted to buy him, and surely even though his price could go up in the next few months he would have still been worth something, and he would have gone then.

If we go up to the Prem, you cannot be blamed for thinking Cody would have no chance, but still i don''t know if Lambert would want to get shot of him immediately, he has some obviously very good qualities, and even though he''s not the best striker around, he could be very useful even as just an impact player.

I think anyone going to far either way, saying he''s found his level at League Two, or he''s going to be a superstar, are probably a bit misguided at this stage. I personally like him, and think he can do something, even if not overly impressive at Championship, maybe even Premiership level (look at mr DJ Campbell). But every time he is brought up, everyone seems to get far too upset, and its not necessary, he''s still a Norwich player, having a very good season out on loan and either two things will happen in the summer, he will come back to join us, or he will be sold, and i don''t really think anyone (maybe not even Lambert) can say which. And again, my opinion is that he can do something useful, and i would have thought he would be worth keeping, even if just until next January.

[quote user="Excited Canary"]League One sides will be interested in him next year, about 500-750k.[/quote]Few league 1 sides have that kind of money to spend.If we go up he won''t cut it in the Prem and if we stay down he is unlikey to be more than a back up.He has had a useful season in the lower leagues and we will no doubt make a decent profit on him one way or another.

I''m sorry? 43 games and 10 goals (albeit in a relegated side) is ''limited experience''?

[Gingerpele 0]

One season in the Championship is limited experience isn'' it?

He hasn''t played for a good side in the Championship yet. He has shown what he can do for a good side in League One. And i think he would probably be as good here, maybe not quite so much in the Prem though. But still, i think most would agree one season is limited experience.

[Lurd 0]

Let’s not forget CMS has a lot more Championship experience than Holt did before this season.

Anyway I thought the partnership to really get us firing up the league was Chrissy Martin and Simeon Jackson, with Macnamee and a right winger firing the crosses in?

Well, he doesn''t have experience in a successful team at Championship level and thus his goals to games ratio is poor, especially if we are thinking of paying 3m. Thus, it''s a big risk as there is no guarantee that his goals tally would improve, although personally I think it would. One season is still not a lot to go on though.

id say abou 300k but id get a 25% sell on clause in any deal

The funny thing is, that it was looking that way for a bit at the start if the season!

[CharlieFarlie 0]

£1m would be a fair price, except if it was Darren Ferguson then I would say £5m. Just to prove he was serious about his bid

 

T@sser!

IF we go up cody surely wouldn''t be coming with s would he?

[Canaries Utd 0]

I dont think so, and i dont believe if we go up and we havent got CMS he would be purchased either.
