Clubs after Yates

They can shove £2 million up their backsides !! Yates work rate is worth £5 million alone. The fact he’s now scoring goals only increases that figure. He’s a young Paul Dickov / Jamie Vardy type player and under Critchley he’s only going to get better and better. If we can get promoted this season or next he’ll prove himself to be a £10 million pound striker.

Having looked at their history of reporting on us, they clearly have a line to Yates’s agent.

So could be worrying, as I could see the teams linked needing a striker come the summer.

But it’ll most likely being his agent getting his name out there whilst his stock is quiet high.

Ultimately Yates will leave Us sooner rather than later, as long as we get a decent fee for him and reinvest that I’ll be happy. I’ve every confidence now that’s what we’ll do.
 
When you compare Yates`s record in this same league when he played for Rotherham you`ve got to say huge credit must be given to our manager and coaching staff for his transformation from a non scoring unsuccessful striker into a high scoring much sought after one.Whether under other management he`d be as successful is open to question. Let`s hope we don`t get the chance to find that out.
 
I’d like to think we’d have him until at least next January. However, it’s already of the sign of the clubs good work behind the scenes. I’ve questioned the recruitment at times, but as the season has progressed so have nearly every single one of these players. These are great times.
 
£2m is nothing these days for a player of Jerry’s quality. Luckily we’re not that club anymore that needs to sell their best players for small fees (Hoolahan for example)
 
All about the wages now which we can't compete unless promoted so he's off if someone from the Championship wants him next season.

Championship here we come., 👍

I think if we don't go up anytime soon he'll definitely be off, but no reason why he wouldn't stay if we were in the Championship ourselves.

Could be some agent trickery in order to bump his wages up? Like I said if we got to the Championship ourselves there is no reason we couldn't offer him wages that would lure him away. Could all be nonsense as well, just rumours because he's banging 'em in
 
If true I hope this news only pushes him on to score 25 goals and get us to the championship, then we can sell him for £5million and reinvest. All players eventually move on, it’s the modern game.

Agreed if we managed to go up we’d have a better chance of retaining him, but money does talk and someone like Forest could still offer double anything we wanted to offer him.

It is all far fetched and probably agent talk, but there history on reporting him seems to be quiet accurate, so there might be something in this.
 
I’d also like to think we can hold onto players for longer than 1 season now.
It’s not like the Oyston’s are still around, hoping to flog the family silver at the earliest opportunity
 
Try buying him by yards covered per game

Measure that, and factor in a multiplier

Add goals

Computer says DON'T SELL , or for more than 10Mill

"Interest" could mean anything really, at least we're secure in the knowledge that Sadler and co. certainly wouldn't let him go for peanuts, we would definitely get what he is worth if it came down to it (probably a little more to be honest), and its whether clubs are willing to pay that for him. Gone are the days of selling our best players on the cheap!
 
Football Insider is a joke of a site that knows nothing.
And I agree £2m is way off the mark. He has 3 years on his contract after this year (including the option we have) and we don't need to sell. Gone are the days of virtually giving away our players and we need to show some ambition
 
We better get used to this as its part of the club model now

Sign a load of 21-24 year olds for cheap undisclosed fees, play them, develop them, then flog them for a large profit

For every Yates and Expo there will be a Sarkic or Lubala

Its a gamble

As for the comment above on Toney he was a proven goalscorer over a number of years hence his fee

2 million with some ad ons would probably be about right for Yates as this current time
 
10 million minimum
Really hope we can keep him and go into the championship with him
Intact
We’re maybe not a selling club anymore
 
Well I don't think forest could offer him double what Simon could offer him but who knows. I would not sell him and would be looking at renewing/extending contracts with a number of players immediately. Shirtless does looks happy at the moment. Forget selling our assets I wonder if we could tempt Forest with a decent bid for Gabriel ?

Sorry I might have missed it Phil, but where has it been mooted as part of the club model? Players will always move on, but there's a right and wrong time for club and player. See Tom Ince for details.

2 million way below the odds ... just some bait.
 
Some/most of our boys will have big promotion incentives as well, don’t see wages being a big issue, Sadler has us covered
 
People in football tend to get carried away and have extreme responses for both positive and negative team and player performances as we see on here all the time.

Yates is a case in point written off early in the season as a non scoring striker he is now some kind of league one superstar apparently according to some.He is obviously somewhere between those two estimates and remember his goal scoring does include a number of penalties. I am very pleased about the progress he has made for us this season but let`s not get too carried away.

That is the key point - get promoted and you are at the same level as Forest, B/burn & Brizzle - grass is just as green at Bloomers
I think the Championship might be a year too early for him so he’d better stick with his current team mates for a bit longer

Your joking aren't you Forest have players on the wage book earning 20-30k a week Sadler might be able to pay that but not a chance he will.

They'd be able to stick a minuim of 10k+ a week on what we are paying him now and as to his contract it only guarantees us a fee as when money comes calling a player just puts in a transfer request so you might as well cash in.

Ivan Toney had 2 seasons where he scored more than 10 goals before that £10m and that was in an all out attacking team... not suggesting that Yates is the same level as him... but he’s worth a lot more than a fifth
 
In reality if C/Ship clubs are knocking on the door the only way we'd keep JY is by getting promoted this season and therefore able to improve his contract, the likes of Forest will be offering five times what he's on here so you can't blame the lad for filling his boots. Valuation wise I reckon he is in the £4m plus bracket.
 
Only £2M ?
They can stick it where the Sun don't shine.
He'll be worth 4 times that if we get promoted.
 
Its alright the sports writers expressing their opinions which are worthless the lad is in his first year of a 3 year contract. Simon Sadler is the person who really has the final say and is not like the Oystons he is a real football fan and supporter of the club

Similar to how Brentford do things, doesn't mean you can't still be successful on the pitch.
It's all about selling at the right time and having a ready made replacement lined up.
 
Saying the results are not good enough implies that the team were not good enough to improve their league position and I pointed out at the time that I thought differently and they could achieve 70 pts or thereabouts.
 
So you would just have said 'Good, 4 home draws on the trot. That's OK,'?
You obviously are happy with 4 home draws on the trot?
It wasn't just me who said that.
 
I always used to do the clubs after Yates' although I was pretty hammered after a few shots of that Aussie White.

I'm surprised they let me in.

Think there’s at least an £8m pound difference between the quality of Yates and Toney. Toney for £10m was obviously a bargain, yet I’d say Yates at £2m is a fair price on current form. 14 goals in 33 league 1 games. 10 of these from open play, the other 4 penalties. So essentially as a striker he scores 1 goal from open play in every 3 league 1 games. I know he has other aspects to his game like his dribbling and work rate, but if I were a championship chairman I’d consider it quite a big risk to spend more than 2 million at this point. Not slating Yates at all, been one of our best players and the hardest worker. Think he’s worth more than 2 million to us, but probably not for a championship team.

No I wasn't happy but neither was I worried, I have believed deep down that there was more to come of the team and for me it was a question of patience, that they would come good in the end and even possibly making it to a play off position.

That’s fair. But £10m for a league one striker was/is crazy - I think you’re looking at that value in hindsight, as he has been so good for Brentford
 
Remember when Kenny Dalglish and his Liverpool scouts/agents were sounding out Charlie in the January 2011 window? It fair put CA off his game for a good three months, which was a factor in us sliding down the table. Holloway seemed powerless to stop that after blocking the move. In effect, he might as well have said “You can have your move IF we get relegated”. Duhhh.

I think Sadler and Critchley should have learnt a huge lesson from that and will be much more supportive and conciliatory with JY. And we have two more years on contract.
