Isn't CCV a tad overpriced there? I never idolised Birch but I won't slag him for this either. He did his job here, now he's doing it at Spurs. Did people actually think Birch might do us a favour? Hey, Dan Levy, Trev here, Lets offer Swansea 25 million for that Joe Rodon eh? OR, actually Daniel, I know their financial situation very well and they might be tempted by a low bid, they could do with a few million to survive the season, try 7 to start. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

This is football, mind. It's all fair. You can't expect former employees and players to be as loyal as the fan base. You can't expect someone as talented as Joe to go unnoticed for so long. | ![](/images/avatars/16814.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) | Login to get fewer ads
Joe on 11:17 - Oct 9 with 1950 views | MartinSwan | None of us want him sold, but if it does happen it needs to be for at least what he is worth. That is £25m+, which is what the Norwich defender was sold for. | ![](/images/avatars/27618.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I rate CCV very highly. Far less likely to make the unforced errors Joe and Guehi regularly make.I think the back three might well turn out to be stronger with CCV replacing Joe. £15m + CCV would be very nice. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Joe on 19:01 - Oct 9 with 1874 views | MartinSwan | CCV would be a very poor replacement for joe, not in the same class, as most of the football pros would tell you. CCV was solid when close to an opponent but got turned easily and didnt have the pace to catch a player. He was weak in the air and when you compare the sliding tackles of Guehi and Rodon to CCV, the quality of Rodon and Guehi truely does show. Were we intending to go and buy CCV this season, no, then why would we want him on a swap, valued at £6m. Cloud cuckoo-land | ![](/images/avatars/27618.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Not as overpriced as Rodon seems to be. Joe will be 23 this month and has never kicked a ball in the Premier League. He's good, but £25m is wildly overstating his value to any other club given his relative experience. I'm not particularly enamoured of CCV either, but Spurs will quite reasonably see him as a decent makeweight. I suspect we'd deal at anything close to £18m. Perhaps less with a decent sell on or player in trade, and that'll be a reasonable price. | ![](/images/avatars/8802.gif) |

I know from your other posts that you have minimal football knowledge, but that is a bonkers posting. (Spurs priced CCV at £2mill not that long ago, which could possibly be excellent value for money.) | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Joe on 20:09 - Oct 9 with 1831 views | Badlands | Is the inflated price some fans are associating wth a Rodon transfer juts an excuse to abuse the club when we don't £25 million? Somewhere around £15 million would be outstanding, Remember other clubs will see tat as a huge gamble on a player with no PL experience and a very dodgy injury history. | ![](/images/avatars/23858.gif) |

Joe on 21:20 - Oct 9 with 1819 views | MartinSwan | If they can't meet the price as defined by Godfrey's price, then tell them go on their way, whereas all Winter will do is gradually drop the price and lumber us with CCV as well.

It makes little difference, the line to take is simple. We are happy you have this prospect, but Spurs have to meet our valuation, we can’t allow the Club to be shortchanged just because Spurs want to buy you cheaply. In fact it’s fairly insulting to value you at £7m. If they won’t meet our valuation, then even if you play for us for another year, there will be plenty of clubs, and probably bigger clubs who will want you. | ![](/images/avatars/27618.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Joe has all the tools a good CB needs, strong in the air, good at intercepting and tackling, quick over the ground, reads the game well so gets himself into good position. He is also a good footballer, due to the effect of the club, with a range of short and long passes. The long passes still need work and his weakness is he isn’t enough of a threat in the opposition box from set pieces. As for valuation, unlike what some posters have said it isn’t just what some one will pay you, it actually is the meeting of a willing buyer and a willing seller. We aren’t a willing seller, nor should we be below £25m. The price was set by the Godfrey sale for £25m rising to £30m. If we get around £22m rising to £25m, that would be close enough. However we don’t have to sell, and selling at a low price sets the tone for the next player sale. If clubs know we will cave to a low bid and reduce our price, every bid we receive will be a low bid. Matt will be next £5m for a player worth at least £10m | ![](/images/avatars/27618.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
