Don't know if it's been mentioned before but same agent as Murray, Stephens, Norwood and McGuirre-Drew.

I doubt Goldson is worth even a quarter of that. At least Liam Moore is a regular starter at Championship level and is more experienced at that level.
That said, valuing Moore at £15m is sheer madness.
I haven't seen him play, but if he is worth £15m then it's no surprise that we always shop abroad. To put that into perspective he would be our record signing.
The trouble is we might need to pay a bit over the top as we might need some English players to meet our home grown quoter.

you said it....we need to maintain homegrown quota...
Yeah that as well
You don't have to fill the quota. You just end up having a smaller squad if you don't have enough home grown.

Indeed - IIRC, Chelsea only had a squad of 21 for some/all of the season - 4 HGP and the maximum 17 non-HGP.

I'm still absolutely astounded at the ridiculous £15 million price tag on Moore.
I hope he enjoys his season at Reading next year, as no one is ever going to pay that.

They are probably just fishing, trying to put would be suitors off/and or trying to get as much dough for him as possible. When they see that no one will pay it, and if the player really wants away, the price can be renegotiated l'm sure.

The former most certainly is, but l can't see us getting an awful lot more than that for Goldson.

He's just signed a new 4 year contract, on pretty hefty wages. Young, English, one of the best defenders in the Championship.
If Boro can charge £20m+ for Gibson, we're well within our rights to ask for that much IMO. Though I suspect we'd accept anything north of £10m.

Gibson did have a pretty good season in The Premier League. Moore is still unproven at that level. Agree with the £10m price tag.

The thing is that this logic makes Dunk a £60 million player, which can't be right either.

Yes and for that sort of money he'd be expected to go straight in the first team, not be a back up like Connor Goldston. So dont think it will happen unless price drops significantly. Rather spend that bit extra and get Delaney if he's still available.

Have you noticed the transfer market is ****ed?
It doesn't mean we should miss out.

Anyway, regardless of the sums, I still think we'll try to include Tomer as part of any payment - although I can't really say that Reading even need a striker, so maybe that doesn't work for them and we move onto Konsa instead.

We definitely do need a striker. Kermorgant's 36 and now knackered after a bad injury last season, Chris Martin has gone back to Derby. Bodvarsson is good but not a main striker. The rest are academy lads who aren't quite good enough yet.
In other news, apparently we're signing John O'Shea...
