What would we (on the forum) consider an acceptable fee for Travis?

Ignoring the usual boring arguments of how much of it would be reinvested. Just what would we consider a fair price?

Honestly at least 5m

2 years left on his contract and just about to enter his prime years….I’d agree with the £3m quoted above. 
 

I wonder if he wants to leave and he’s the one pushing it?

I have head he wants to stay, but thinks he is being pushed out of the door.

I would be so pissed off if this were the case. The only exception being that if I were immediately reinvested in a similar, better/higher potential player. But that's dreamland.

Seems that Finnish lad (winger) is getting good reviews at Aberdeen. Think they got him for £800,000ish.

Oh what could of been…

He’s not finished he’s only 21

It's suicidal to sell Travis at this point in the transfer window. 

He's a good Championship CM (albeit not a Captain), but you'd never be able to adequately replace him with the time we've got left and for the money we'd receive for him.

People hating on Rovers Insider - they've been right on pretty much everything.

Apart from the £8m fee that he said was agreed with Ipswich for SS a month ago. Oh, and the fact he said the players we were linked with were all smokescreens. 
 

As someone said, he was probably an insider at some point bl but he ain’t anymore. The fact he’s not posted for a few weeks and we’ve signed quite a few players tells you everything you need to know.

Travis has started the season in great form.

We're short of bodies.

Absolutely no logical reason to sell him whatsoever.

So what's the illogical reason?

They shouldn't entertain offers below £5m for Travis.

- Only 26
- 200+ Championship appearances, plus promotion on his CV
- Club Captain
- An important player who the gaffer wants to keep

Anything below £5m would be ridiculous.

If Travis goes, who’s the sellable players left. Dolan, Carter and possibly Joe R-C. 

FFS, are they getting as much back as possible before selling up? Said this before.

What a bunch of c️t! 

Waggott is playing a blinder.

Travis is very limited but selling him now would be barbaric!!  Not only will we loose championship experience but a key member of the dressing room - What are we playing at?!

Trav ...5 million? No way anyone sees him worth half that. But it will mean more chance of being seen as a failure.

There has risen a trend in recent years about players running down their contracts.

Many players, some at top level, have gone on a free to new clubs.

Brereton Diaz and Mbappe are just a few examples.

Therefore, perhaps more players than before are going on a free?

I think you can add Haaland to that list, I could be wrong. It's because virtually all the power is with the player,unless under a long contract, meaning a lot of the time, free transfers are often the better players. 

Which is why, signing a "free" transfer often isn't anything of the sort,although you may well end up with a better player because the fact there's no fee, means he can ask for better terms for himself.

No no no to selling Travis. We don’t need the money, it wouldn’t be reinvested.

The only reason I can see this happening is forcing Travis out. As rovers insider said

You’ve done nowt but slag him off🤣

Close, instead Haaland had heavy release clauses. He still has, I believe
