Not having a go, but 99% of clubs sell their "best player/s. Look at villa, £100m for grealish, who imho is worth far far less, but he was villas best player, still sold him though.

There are limits to which these sudden occasional 'pop-up' members should not pass and the same goes for all of us in reality :thumbright:

My own opinion on the Moore matter is that we need to wait for a bid, if it comes, to be made and only then can we discuss its value/worth to the club on either a footballing or financial front; remembering, of course, if a bid is made it is merely a starting point for negotiation; at which point, we will see whose fortitude is the strongest close to the transfer window closing, i.e. the club being coaxed into selling or the club attempting to buy...?

For me, the latter have most to lose (unable to purchase again until Xmas) at this point

Don't want Keiffer to go; he was a revelation in an otherwise disappointing season last year and put simply, we need him...! :old:


I would be very worried were I Always City’s cup of tea.

If an offer of £10m comes in I personally don’t see how the club could turn it down. We’re all aware of the financial impact on the clubs recently, and to get that much for a player who we bought for only £2m (if my memory serves me right) is great business.
On the other hand, unless we’ve got a replacement lined up we’ll struggle to continue with the form we are currently in. We are 6th currently and Kieffer has only started 1 out of the 4 games, but soon enough the goals from the CB’s will dry up and we then need a striker who can score. And the way we play I just can’t see that being James Collins, he works hard but that’s about it. So we would definitely need a replacement.

Re: ' KIEFFER MOORE BID being lined up '

Mon Aug 23, 2021 5:24 pm

Anything over 10m I would take as long as we get a replacement on loan from a Premier team in the guise of a tammy abraham type player

If we sell moore for 10 million what do you have to spend to get equivalent player and its a gamble they will deliver 20 goals a season imo better to hold on to what you have
you gain nothing imo.

It’s a fine line. His value is unlikely to be as high at the end of this season even if he scores another 20 - 1 year older and 1 season less on his contract.

When big Ken had that stand out season (or half a season in reality), there was talk of £15m plus for him and the same argument of ‘no ambition’ if we sell etc. Reality is that he then didn’t do much for us after that and we were unbelievably lucky to get £8m for him, but had ‘lost’ £7m on his supposed peak value.

If the club got £12m in the current climate, without condition or add on that would represent an incredible return on the £2m that we got him from Wigan for - and we stole him from them because they were in such difficulty.

For further context, Brentford got Toney from Peterborough for just £5m last summer. Also at Posh, Clarke-Harris has a comparable goal scoring record to Toney at League one level although a couple of years older…but better than Moore at the level snd a couple of years younger. So there are decent goal scoring strikers out there and one where we could reasonable expect to pay no more than £5m for.

So £12m would give us the chance to bring in potentially 3 decent players at least.

The problem is whether a. The money will be reinvested and b. Reinvested well. The later part is where I have my doubts.

They may very likely be the case, but we also all know how light we are in certain positions and maybe the only way to fund that it to sell Moore. Without a cash income there is no way we can be adding to the squad.

Sadly IF we were to get over £10m how much would MM get to replace KM, DIDDLY SQUAT probably.

My worry is the club will shit the bed on this one IF a £7m bid comes in for KM.


:bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:


£15 million for Armstrong actually works against us.

He’s younger, has had two seasons scoring at championship level. Just an all round more valuable player.

I love Moore but he’s not worth the same as Armstrong. I mean we all say Armstrong play last year didn’t we?

Any comparison with people who have done it at premier league level (Traore) are like comparing league one players to Kiefer.


Good to see some sense. Armstrong is a better player, a better investment. I'd think 7m is about right for moore, but his value in our situation is higher.

Hypothetical I know, but if you could stretch to 9 or 10m for moore and spend half of that on Clarke Harris I'd take that.

We haven't had a bid and importantly it's clear we would reject an offer such as this.

Personally if we could get 12m plus Giles I would accept if we could get 2 quality replacements.

Fully agree. 15m or 10m plus Giles I could not argue with either offer. Although as a fan I hope he stays of course.

Re: ' KIEFFER MOORE BID being lined up '

Tue Aug 24, 2021 7:34 am

They're arguing in the Wolves forum that he's not worth the 7m to just sit in the bench. A journeyman aging striker that can only use his head. Only some have seen him play however.

Overall, they're not keen, probably cos he's not Portuguese.

I'd agree. He's rubbish, really bad. Leave him with us please.

An interesting debate considering it all seems just a rumour for now.

My view is that the club will definitely sell if a bid comes in around 7mill.

There’s a lot of debating about what he’s worth and some are mentioning 15mill which IMO will never happen for a guy who’s 30 next year. I think people expecting this amount are dreaming.
He’s only worth what a club will bid and City will sell.
Personally, I think a bid (if it happens) will be accepted around 7mill or just over.

Take Grealish for example.
Most on here will say he’s never worth 100mill but Man City payed that so that’s what he’s worth!

The other point is while I think he’s happy here at Cardiff, if he’s gets offered double or even treble his salary then he’ll probably be pushing to move and at 29yrs old who could blame him?

I agree with all of that. I hope we hold out for more but I fear the ££ will be too appealing.
