Jephers coming to other Clubs attention

[Knibbsworth]

I don’t think Argyle will get more than 500k if they sold him.

He has done well for us no doubt. You ain’t getting anywhere near 2 million for him though.

He played a handful of games in L2 between New Year and Covid-19. This season he has played a number of games but until he has a full season with 20 plus goals under his belt he won’t fetch even over a million.

Why would we sell for £500k?

Try and replace Jephcott with an U21 striker who has the potential to be in the top 3 League One scorers at the end of the season. Give me some names of like-for-like goal scoring strikers (at third tier level) that we could buy with £500k.

We have no hope of buying another Jephcott with that fee, so why on earth would we sell our top scorer for a sum like that?

Exactly. £500k is as ludicrous a suggestion as £10m.

I think a somewhat realistic comparison (albeit a player who has a better all-round game than Jephcott) is Ollie Watkins- a talented youngster from an unfashionable lower league club whose next move is definitely a Championship club.

He went for a reported £1.8 million and 25% sell-on. While that was some time ago, it was a time when football finance was clearly much stronger than it is now. Would we take that? I’d think we’d take it pretty quickly.

 

[Grantham Green]

With the year all clubs have had financially I would be surprised if there is an awful lot of money swimming around outside the Premiership. Unless someone who is benefiting (unfairly) from the ludicrous parachute scheme then I think we'll see little movement at our level for large amounts.

Just need Hardie to start a scoring run for us to keep Jephers out of the spotlight

Harry Kane, Teddy Sheringham? At this time of festive disillusionment, that gave me a good laugh and cheered me up no end. I expect even Oldage had a little chuckle at those comparisons.

For only 500k he’s worth more to us. He’s got the best goals to mins played ratio in the whole of League 1 and is only 20.. and that’s without taking a single pen or free kick.

I hope he does practise penalties. Another 3 or 4 goals a season could add quite a bit to his value.

as i mentioned in the thread earlier , any EFL teams that took the financial payout from the premier league, are not aloud to spend money on players, or they hand back the payments, and someone else mentioned any team receiving large transfer fees must pay back help received,i very much doubt there will much, if any money, passing around the efl

 

[Devongreenowl]

So Paul Mariner who was a proven striker in the second tier of English football, was sold for the equivalent of about 1.5m today (in actual fact, two players, one of whom was crocked). Did somebody earlier say Jeph could fetch 10m? :funny: :funny: :funny:

 

[IJN]

Not me, I said we should ask for £10m. Subtlety isn't a Yorkshireman's strength is it? :lol:

He’s OUR player. If anyone wants him enough, they can pay OUR asking price.

 

[IJN]

Zactly me luvver.

He can leave drekly.

 

[Devongreenowl]

Did that work with Ladapo?

 

[IJN]

We dodged a bullet there trust me.

Delighted he went and the money we got was the cream on top.

Is Jephcott on a 2 year contract?
