Looks like Ken has added another zero at the end of his valuation - good job he's signed for 3 more years. I wonder what sort of offer this summer would tempt the club - as they've said before - everyone has a price. http://www.skysports.com/football/czech-r-u21-vs-denmark-u21/371712
Delete the link to the footage sparkey. Hopèfully no one will notice and try to find the figure. Hope he picks up where he left off. With a pre-season and a few new signings to put the bullets in the chamber.........
Calm down, it's only u-21 level. Granted though that he'll continue to get publicity if he carries on like that & has a decent start to our season. Need NW to have a word to keep his feet on the ground and not get ideas above his station like eg Jerome & Bothroyd when they got into the England international set up. Got to say though it's wetting the appetite for seeing him in a city shirt next season
Doesn't matter about the under 21 level Nin, you still gotta do it on the pitch. Looks to me this past 6 months Zohore has aged 5 years mentally. He had the ability but was hopelessly lazy and lethargic before Warnock shook him out of his comfort zone tree. He's showing far more desire on and off the ball - those Denmark highlights show it clearly. When you add that to his performances the back end of last season, the guy is bound to be attracting the attention of the monied clubs who think they can buy anything. If he continues in the same way, it wont be long before Tan will need to demonstrate his committment again and tell them and Zorro himself for that matter, that he's going nowhere.
Interesting read on the Warnock factor. Obviously gets inside people's heads as has been seen with a few city players. Zohore Harris bamba. You wonder how much of that can be taught when doing your badges. http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/cardiff-citys-new-striker-danny-13235909
I think having gone around the block a few times helps. As for Zorro, his efforts for Denmark Under 21's will have raised the awareness of bigger fish however he will need to do it for their full team and consistently for us before the really big offers start coming in. We could probably get £4/5m for him now if we needed to sell. Which we don't.
Bluey - if he was available at £4/5M there'd be a queue of clubs lined up to take a chance on him even now - that sort on money is peanuts to some and well worth a punt. You're probably right though about his current value - he needs a season of good performances under his belt in the Championship to be worth any more. Dare I mention Aaron Mooy again?........ He did just that and Huddersfield parted with £10M for him. He is well worth it too in the silly money stakes that is the Premier League. As a proven striker, Zorro would command more again.
City could do with finding a Mooy sort of player; there's no creative midfielder in the squad now Whitts has gone.
Lets hope Colin is employing stealth tactics to get the right man or men as more than one needed. No need to broadcast until its a done deal. I see Jazz has thrown his hat into the ring as a central midfielder; - http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/cardiff-city-star-jazz-richards-13250947 Would surely be on the defensive side with several of our defenders having a case for that in Bamba and Manga as well. Come on guys, it's creativity and forward thinking ability (and a bit of pace wouldn't go amiss) we need.
Stand by for first test? http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/spor...ews/hull-city-tracking-cardiff-hotshot-165498
Inevitable transfer speculation but City should only sell him to a foreign or PL club for a stupid fee. However selling him would send all the wrong signals to the loyal fans who again have bought season tickets.
Looks like we're about to find out how much he's worth to you... Tim Thornton @SkySports_Tim Sky Sources: Hull City make improved bid for Cardiff striker Kenneth Zohore #HCAFC
put a twenty million price on his head and then see who`s rates him............that in turn takes out teams in our own division affording him and if someone from the prem pays up then that's they`re own stupidity and lack of financial realism. but my opinion I see him staying and pushing us on towards the top end of the championship and in the mix come next may.........fingers crossed anyways I looked at the source and it come from a man tim thornton who claims is thoughts and opinions are his own>>>>>>>>>yet works for sky ......FAKE NEWS ALERT!!
Whatever happens if Hull bid enough in the eyes of Choo and VT then he could well go. The question is what is enough? He is still very raw, has a track record of, effectively, half a season and it took Colin to put a bomb under him to show what he can do. While his value could well appreciate if his form continues and he makes his national first team, is he really worth more than £5 to £7m at present? If Colin sees him as instrumental to us being successful next season then we should be looking at £10m minimum now and force their hand. In a year, if all goes well, it could easily be £20m. However, they can have Gonzo and Halford for free. A bogof without even having to pay for the first one. Despite all this as Sparkey said on the Transfer Window Thread, if we let him go we are sending out a poor message to the fans, players and prospective new players. If a deal was done over Colin's head, then he could easily walk.
Not seen any figures quoted despite the "improved offer" mentioned in the media/bloggs about Zohore - what was the first one and where do they get this information? The argument that a substantial cash windfall from his sale would aleviate the club's FFP position would only hold water if the dosh was banked and not re-used. In that was the scenario, there are an awful lot of supporters (including me) who would become very disillusioned over the club's real ambition. On the other hand, If Warnock sanctioned the sale to bankroll his promotion ambitions because he felt he had better options, then that's a different story. It been said many times that every player has a price, but a genuine goalscorer albeit with only a brief history is going to attract interest from the monied clubs. No disrespect to Hull but I reckon there are those far better off who would join in the bidding if the club signalled they were prepared to talk. The biggest worry would be the short term loss of credibility re our ambition - and also the prospect that Lambert would be retained............
If any club wants Zahore tell them £20m and we want a sell on clause. Losing Zahore would be a disaster for our season.
Read it was improved to 6m. They've got wads to spend but that's an insult. Rhodes went for what? 10m. The fee is irrelevant though if City are serious about next season; it would be a kick in the teeth to us loyal fans if they sold their prime match winner to a rival, or anyone.
I'm removing some comments on this thread as they're totally irrelevant to its' subject. If posters want to slag each other off about other matters then find another thread or create one of your own if you're a visitor.
