Mahmoud Hassan (Trezeguet) - SOLD

[Sexual Ealing]

Yep

[SoccerHQ]

I think we'll cash in on him given he upped his value in last few weeks and seems he's still well thought of in Turkey. Keep AEG as a squad option.

I'd cash in while his stock is high. I think we're stuck with AEG, I can't see anybody interested to part with money for him. He'll probably spend the rest of his contract sitting on the bench until January then out on loan in Europe.

There's a good player lurking in AEG. Spurs at home he was really good first half, direct and set up the own goal with a good cross Then Southampton away the next week he stubs his toe and wants out after 20 minutes of a huge six pointer. Makes a miracle recovery and sets up the goal at Wembley and then his useless with the rest of them at Leicester.

Four games that sum up how wildly inconsistant he is. Perhaps he can kick on a bit next season.

What we do not know for sure is if Benrahma is actually an upgrade until he plays consistenly at the PL level. We all know it's one thing looking great against Championship level defenders but another to make that leap to the top level. Not saying he's not able to make that jump but it's still a risk to splash out what could be 20M plus on a player that just isn't proven against the best defenders in English football.

Well I'd say he looks better at Championshiplevel than El Ghazi ever did.  He's faster and able to beat a man more easily for a start.

I don't disagree with that. AEG also only cost 8m in the end so much less of a financial gamble or sense of expectations. But again, he's beating Championship full backs, not to say he won't translate that to the top tier. We'll just have to wait and see. And wasn't he valued by Brentford in excess of 20m last summer which is why we didn't get him? I imagine they will want as much if not more one year on, and certainly more if they come up.

A player proven at Premier League level will cost a lot more than£20 million. You pays yer money...

Yep, nowadays an Alex Iwobi costs north of 30m.

Fuck me, Everton have had their trousers taken down so many times over the last few transfer windows. It’s like they took up our mantle once we’d got relegated, determined to make our transfer ineptitude look twee in comparison.

If the Trezeguet move rumours are true, what would we get for him - just our money back, or a premium?

[Toronto Villa]

Trezeguet just helped keep a team up in the PL with 3 crucial goals. He’s added to his value and added to his personal income I imagine if he does move.

[PeterWithesShin]

If we sold him we'd get 9-10m for him I reckon.

[Toronto Villa]

That’s pretty much what we paid for him as an untried PL footballer. I think he’d go for more in the £12-15m range now. Which is still a pittance at this level. There are a number of players with the same or worse stats as Trezeguet that have gone for much more. The PL just commands stupid fees. But given he’d go abroad it reduces that a little.

[PeterWithesShin]

He'd probably go somewhere like Turkey and they aren't paying 12-15m for him imo, especially in the current financial climate.

[Toronto Villa]

Agreed, the question will be then is it worth selling him for that price? Because any replacement would have to be as good or better and we’ll likely not be paying what they pay in Turkey. If we can’t get proper value I’d be tempted to just keep him.

There was speculation a while ago about a swap deal for Christian Luyundula of Fenerbahce.

His old school sneaky back post routine is worth 10m alone. Flattered to deceive but his goals on the league cup and the prem means he’s worth what we paid and if he goes, he’s one of us

Income tax in Turkey is 7%.

12m Turkish Lira would be about right.
