I’d be surprised if we lost Tonda. It would have to be to a Premier League club surely, not sure his stock would be high enough for Bundesliga. Would an PL club go for him? I don’t see it.  Also in his interests to build his CV with us and stick a promotion on there. 

I think he is on a lot of shortlists around Europe. I don't think he stays too long if we don't go up.

With the transfer fees we got for Dibling and Fernandes you wonder what Jander is worth in today's market. Not that I'd want us to sell him but he'll likely go in the summer if we don't get promoted.

I think we would ask for more than that and unless he has a release clause we don't need to accept a poor offer.

This is the worry. It seems we agree these at fairly low sums (£25m suggested for Scienza)and perhaps look to renegotiate terms after a year.

If it is the case then it’s a shame, but reverse argument is we can’t  sign the player without.

I was hoping he’d bring a bit of a Schneiderlin as a DM but from what I’ve read that doesn’t seem to be his game. But I’m with Gio seeing an element of Steve Williams style in the videos.

Anyway if he doesn’t give a Williams - Schneiderlin hybrid performance v the Skates then it’s open letter time to Spors. 

Great that he’s living up to hopes and expectations. 
 

Hope we can keep him for another season, whichever division we’re in.

MotM again tonight. Different class this lad.

[S-Clarke]

He was immense tonight, carried on from the FA Cup game. He reads the game so well, and you wouldn't think it by looking at him, but he's so strong and so hard to get the ball off of. He protects it so well, anticipates well - but just watch him off the ball as well, he's got a very intelligent and mature above his age approach to his work rate and the positions he anticipates.

Jander's legs seem like Inspector Gadget when he makes some of those tackles, you can see the leg grow, win the ball and retract again.

One of the best at winning the ball in that way I've seen, without fouling. He's got a huge future.

Genuinely, I can see him playing for the biggest teams. What a find.

I hope he stays

Had a good look at him today and every tackle and quick ball to get us going was done by Jander.

Easily can see a team shoving a 40m cheque under our noses if we don’t go up.

[HarvSFC]

If we can get £40m for Fernandes then we should absolutely be asking for the same for Jander.

Fernandes was proven in the premier league Jander isn’t. That in itself is a reason why we won’t get that sort of fee

Christ alive.

No one is paying £40m for Jander in the summer.

Certainly not in the form of a cheque.

[Mboto Gorge]

We could possibly get £20-25m but as others have said, we ain’t getting £40m from anyone, as a championship club for a player who’s only played championship level football in this country. Bonkers

I agree we'd not want players instead of cash. Especially if it has to be from one country.

[Willo of Whiteley]

We’ll be lucky to get £20m for him, and based on Shea Charles contract I reckon we’d accept £15m for him, maybe even less.

Why would we accept £15m or less on someone we signed for £10m last year, has been brilliant and is on a four year deal?

£40m is mental but "£15m or less" is even more mental.

You’ve misunderstood, Jander I reckon £20M is more than enough.

Shea Charles I think we’ll be lucky to get £15M given he’d have a year left on his contract, was offered a new deal in the autumn and nothing has happened since. He’s almost certainly gone.

It's not "more than enough". We spent £20m on THB. For the reasons I put above we would easily get more than that for Jander.

If the only offers we get for Caspar Jander are £20m or below we won't sell him.

No way he goes for 20m. Not with the contract he’s on and the performances he puts in. Shea is different given the 1 year etc etc. I think he will sign if we get promoted.

Given performances and contract length, we should be pushing for £25-30M for Jander, with sell ons. The only reason i would change that is if we are in a position where we are forced to sell, or want to sell to reinvest - Personally, I think the 3 players we'll try our hardest to keep are Jander, THB, and Azaz 🤷‍♂️. Fail to get promoted and we may lose all 3 sadly. Scienza is going to have interest and is an obvious "big sell", Charles will be sold because of the contract situation, and i'm not convinced Downes will want to stay another season.

Worth noting, year 1 parachute payments are 55% (of the prem's equal share broadcasting revenue), year 2 are 45% - which equates to a drop of circa £10-15M for next season to circa £39M.

After that, it would have dropped to the year 3 parachute payment value (of 20% or £16-18M per year). We won't get this parachute payment as only in the prem for 1 year.

The scary one is the cliff edge that's coming if we fail to get promoted in both this season and next season, as we will then have to accommodate the circa £39M drop in revenue (year 2 payments to no payments) in one go.

So whilst we don't have to make drastic savings this season. Fail to get promoted and we face a revenue cliff edge in the 3rd season that's comparable to the 1st season relegation - and the gamble of whether to go for it or cut out cloth accordingly this summer.
