I agree he should and would obviously be more than Wood. But he is not an elite striker. His value is driven by his performances 2 years ago and will be affected by his big injury last year.
£30-£40m and teams would be interested. Any more than that and there is better value out there.
Richarlison was sold for £50m, which is around the figure I said when the rumours first started. Richarlison is better than Dom and there is no world where Dom goes for more.
On Richarlison, there are a range of fees, with 50m being the very lowest end. Sure someone said 55m down recently. The range seems to be between 50-70m. That was above what you seemed to be saying.
On the 2nd point, I'm not entirely sure that's true. His record isnt as good over the last few years. They are different players. For Newcastle and what they want, Dom would be the better fit IMO.
I probably peg his value similar to you. Probably more 35-40 ish. But there are multiple factors that dictate a sale, including value to a buyer, and need to a seller. Teams will often overpay.
I agree he has lost a lot of value last year because of injuries. Last year there was talk of a 75m ish from Arsenal. The question is, how much has his value been hit with injury.
I agree hes not elite, but nobody elite or close to is going to Newcastle. He knows the league, fits their style and is a younger, better upgrade on what they have, who would go. They will try and hard ball, but honestly, when you have that cash, you probably face pressure to spend it. I think it would be an error to pay 60m from them, but it's the sort of error sides plush with cash, but no history tend to make. City did similar with Lescott.
As a final aside, we dont need to sell, so are obviously not going to entertain at value bids of say 35-40m. There would have to be an overpay to get us interested. The question is how much premium could we effectively get away with.
