A lot of money for a striker who's spent 5 years in league one and has less than a year left on his contract, however Brentford rarely get it wrong.
Konsa - bought for 2-3m, sold for 12m. Maupay - bought for 1.6m sold 2 years later for 20m. Watkins - bought for 1.8m, will surely go for about 20m as well Benrahma - bought for 2.5m, will go for 20m+
Less than 9m spent, over 70m recouped.
If Roland had a brain and had trusted someone like Gallen instead of Driesen he'd have potentially recouped all his losses in a couple of years.
How much does this make Bonne worth, I'd say a similar amount especially as he has 1 more year on his contract
Think Bonne would need another good scoring season in league football to be worth near that not non league but actual league football
Both 24
Toney 17/18-12 goals in 40 games in League 1(over 2 loan spells)
18/19- 16 goals in 44 games in League 1
19/20- 24 goals in 32 games in League 1
Thats at least 20 goals a season over 3 seasons and an improvement each year as well.
Bonne 19/20 11 goals in 33 games in the Championship
Now whilst I agree thats brilliant for his first year, clubs would look at it and wonder if its a 1 off or if he has bought his non league form into league footbal but no way would they pay £10M for him
If he has a good league 1 season next year and gets say 17+ then I would agree with you
I was reading earlier on the BBC website that Messi has said he wants to leave Barca and City rumoured to be talking to him. What do you think he would cost at 33 ?

100 million and worth every penny
Absolutely - they will recoup a lot of that on shirt sales and all the other bits and pieces. Wages certainly won’t be a problem.
Yes very good, all signs pointed he was going back to Spain when he was done with City. But strangely Lazio were favourites to sign him over the past couple of weeks.

such a shame .........................
............................... NOT !!!
Gone down in my estimations now, shame.
Swansea have bid for Jamal Lowe
Swansea have little money to play with in the transfer market, but hope Wigan's financial problems could see them secure a cut-price deal.
Fantastic signing for them
Yeah that is big.
Their kit is fucking terrible though.
I didnt want to point it out myself to him in fear of receiving the same
Brentford sign Northampton centre back and captain Charlie Goode. With their scouting record it'll be interesting to see how he goes
Another player (Joe Williams) leaves Wigan, their team is being decimated
Foreign clubs really are starting to scout our youth teams arent they!!
