Ivan toney is irrelevant

He’s english and an established EPL goalscorer that has the physical attributes and ability to do it for any team in the league.

An appropriate benchmark can only be someone with similar history - a championship player, not English, unproven at EPL level. That’s why I said Gyorkeres.

Championship clubs just don’t get the kind of money you’re talking about for anyone, really. What’s the most a player not proven at EPL level has ever gone for? Bellingham probably

I suppose this is inevitable with his current form (NCFC) - JoeyDeacon, Mar 4, 09:14:59

- Couldn’t see anyone paying over £20m tbh (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 4, 09:18:24
  - £20m is top end but I think we could get that as he's on a long contract. (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, Mar 4, 10:10:40
    - Easily that’s the absolute minimum he’s a great age too (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Mar 4, 10:20:47
- I don’t think there’s any chance of £35m to £40m (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 4, 09:18:22
  - In Sarge's favour (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Mar 4, 11:24:58
    - Not many championship players go for over £20m though (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 4, 12:03:20
      - Well, of course. But IMO his profile & experience puts him above Gyo (n/m) (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Mar 4, 13:00:57
        
        Sure (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 4, 13:04:37

    - Ivan toney is irrelevant (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 4, 10:55:04
      - Gyorkeres is a good comparison (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 4, 10:57:24
        
        you post about Sarge and how much he might go for (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Mar 4, 14:01:29
        
        More that he doesn't look like a natural replacement (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 4, 15:08:28
    - He’s a great age long contract … (NCFC) - loz, Mar 4, 09:57:50
      - Took Wagner to figure out how to get the best out of him (n/m) (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Mar 4, 10:12:39
        
        And to destroy Pukki (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 4, 10:29:31
        
        Pretty sure that was deansmith's doing. (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Mar 4, 10:54:24
        
        Tbf Dean smith did a decent job with Sargent (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Mar 4, 10:20:09
        
        ? (n/m) (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Mar 4, 10:54:55
        
        Haha (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 4, 10:17:16
        
        And can you imagine the reaction if that had happened?? (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Mar 4, 11:29:06
  - I value him at £14m (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 4, 09:29:17
    - Nah. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Mar 4, 13:05:02
    - That seems a bit light, to me. (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 4, 09:30:56
      - Armstrong only went for £15m (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 4, 09:47:17
        
        Definitely not better (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 4, 09:58:34
        
        How do you judge that? (n/m) (NCFC) - jAC, Mar 4, 10:02:39
        
        Goals per 90, link up play, better in the air (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 4, 10:11:00
        
        I don't really know who's better but (NCFC) - jAC, Mar 4, 11:09:14
        
        To be fair though, he's been playing for a team that dominates possession (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 4, 11:52:01
        
        Scores for fun (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 4, 09:59:35
        
        Sarge way ahead of him on goals per 90 mins this season (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 4, 10:10:41
        
        The sample for sarge is a bit small though (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 4, 10:51:59
        
        That's the spirit! (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 4, 10:52:48
        
        A lot closer when taking assists into account (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 4, 10:19:59
      - He's got to be worth at least undisclosed (NCFC) - Ben, Mar 4, 09:36:17
        
        And then loan him back to Europe (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 4, 09:40:15
- So good they named him twice... (n/m) (NCFC) - Lager top, Mar 4, 09:16:16
