Surely the value of something that is being sold is controlled by the seller as they either ultimately decide the price. You could offer me £50 for my car and if nobody else bids and I refuse to sell it to you, it doesn’t mean it’s worth £50. 

I could put my house on the market for £1million, doesn't make it worth it  

 

Price and value are different. The seller sets the price and the buyers decide whether it is reasonable based on its value. If you go to the shop and see a packet of crisps for sale for £10 youd say "that's not worth it". 

Value ultimately differs between parties as well.

Rovers decide his value not Ipswich or the market.

Pay what we want or piss off.

The value of a car, house, footballer, football club, business etc is what a buyer who has the means and will to complete on a transaction is willing to pay for it.

It really is that simple.

Only if you have a willing seller, a reluctant seller can ask for whatever they want and any interested party can then make their own decisions.

and there you have just agreed with what I said!

Your reluctant seller has hiked the price and if the buyer won't pay then the value is overstated - it really is simple.

Ipswich have over spend on players who aren't proven PL players and just spend £15m on Delap who Szmodics out scored 4 to 1. They were willing to spend £15m on him but not for Szmodics's pricing. 

If Ipswich want him, paid the price we want and don't come back. They know the price for weeks and yet again mess us around for weeks.

We don't have to sell him.

If Ipswich want to buy him then they have to pay what we have asked for.

No, perceived value can be very different depending on perspective. I’m sure that, like me, you have suggested that we sold Adam W way to low but under your scenario, we received his value 🤷‍♂️

Then Rovers are over valuing Szmodics as no one is prepared to pay the asking price.  Simple as.

[ben_the_beast]

We all know this anyway but somebody is telling porkies. £9m plus bonuses for Szmodics is a bargain. Out of that we'll be paying Peterborough a sell on clause and Szmodics will probably get one of these ridiculous loyalty payments which are common these days. 

We'll bring in very little after deductions of which peanuts will be reinvested. With the quoted price it makes no sense to sell if Venkys are willing to cover running costs. They obviously don't want too, hence the desperation to sell. We were told the court case had no baring on the running of the club before Wharton was sold. It'll be same again. Lies, lies, lies.

No we don't have to sell Szmodics, however, the inescapable fact is his value is what someone is prepared to pay.

Wharton was grossly under valued.

I think it's reasonable to say Wharton was a distressed sale to keep the club alive.

Palace had us by the balls as Ipswich may have come 20 August if the court case goes against the Raos

It isn’t. His value is what Rovers say it is. Rovers own him. 
 

I can’t walk into a shop and dictate what I pay for the goods on sale.

Yes, IF you have to sell, but we don’t have to sell, therefore they have to pay a price we are prepared to sell for. It is a sellers market NOT a buyers market. Big difference.

bollocks we are!!!!

Ipswich have over spend on Muric, Delap and Greaves. FFS! 

Szmodics out performed Delap 4 to 1 in terms goals. Delap 8 goals, Szmodics 33 goals. Yet Delap is worth £15m yet Szmodics who is his peak of his career is worth that money.

If you want to get rid of something I agree.

We don’t want to get rid of Szmodic.

[TommyRovers]

Never heard such nonsense.

You don’t lower your asking price because the only team currently interested are refusing to meet it.

You want the player, you pay the asking price or make a compromise. Ipswich are doing neither.

when Rovers “lowball” other teams you scream bloody murder, when other teams “lowball” Rovers, we should bend over and accept their offers.

No, but if that’s what you want and nobody pays it then you keep it. 

[MB Rover]

This has been massively over complicated. We want an amount for OUR player. He is worth that to us. If they don’t pay it they are more than welcome to fuck off. Very very simple.

[MB Rover]

There’s a few on here I wouldn’t mind buying a house or car off, make sure I’m the only one interested and turn up offering half the amount and it’s mine 🤣

So if Rovers say he's worth £50million he's worth £50million!?!?  It's nonsense, his value is what someone is prepared to pay.

Anyone walking into a shop to buy say white goods and paying what the price tag says really does need to give their head a wobble!  It's called bartering and I've never failed yet to get a discount whether it be from Currys, John Lewis, Sky or BT.
