Simon's Church and would they really want to spend £8m+ on someone for their u23s?

Royal Rother Even the idea of letting Loader go is madness to me unless we were to go bust if we didn’t.
These are the players we should be building the future of the club around.
Sick of seeing our unfinished article Academy players leave and become player of the season somewhere else, albeit at lower leagues. We spend 10 years developing them and then let them go elsewhere when they don’t immediately set the world alight when given early chances here.
It takes time for youngsters to become accustomed to 1st team football at whatever level. Some longer than others but at low wages they are worth persisting with. Some might say that the phrase above “albeit at lower leagues” is the key here but offloading / cashing in too early and signing more experienced players from the same lower leagues or unfinished articles from other clubs’ academies does not sit well with me.

Victor MeldrewHound You know 2m rates him as half way between Dave Edwards and Leandro Bacuna?
And just a bit less than Spurs paid MK Dons for Delle Ali.
As I said in my post, if he makes it big we get loads more money, if he doesn't progress we have had £2 million.
Edwards and Bacuna are not players that we will ever get any more money for so aren't great examples.

Simon's Church Not sure who wins if this transfer happens. Loader was starting to find his feet towards the end of the season and will likely get 20+ starts next year with us, to replace that we'd probably need someone on much higher wages and a decent transfer fee. I can't see him starting more than a couple of games at wolves and would they really want to spend £8m+ on someone for their u23s?

Crowbar6753 Loader is clearly going to be a star.

As a striker, in the Premier League? Well, he might, but at this point not sure I'd say he 'clearly' will.
The odds are against it and many more fail than succeed, esp at that level, and with all the overseas players competing there as well.

Snowflake Royal Agree £2m is stupid low. I'd be shooting £5m - £10m plus Vic's instalments.
The English youth International multiplier seems to have been forgotten by some.
But I don't buy the £10m - £20m upfront argument either.

Hound I can get my head round the fact its an awful idea
we need cash now, not in 3 years time when he has made 50 appearances
2 million barely scratches the surface of what we need now, and he probably isn't on a great wage, so no real saving there
Some bloke from Brizzle has just gone for 13m quid, and I don't think they even thought he was that good. He was 2 years older than Loader, with a similar number of appearances
James from Swansea, who granted has had more of an impact, is about to go for 15m, after a similar number of appearances. He is 3 years older. Even last year, at the age of 20, he couldn't get a game for Shrewsbury
Jacob Murphy left Norwich last year for 12m. He was 23 and had one half decent season for Norwich, and one in Div 1 for Coventry
Dominic Solanke, who barely played a game for Liverpool, went for 19m based almost solely on his England age group appearances.
Loader has been capped and scored goals at every England age group so far. He is widely known as one of the better prospects in the game. He has just won goal of the season with an example of the ability he has.
He has been in our first team most of 2019. Why wouldn't he be starting in August?
Oh, and Wolves are absolutely minted. They earned something like 120m from last season.
Do I need to go on?

Agreed. Loader’s apparent pedigree and potential is what Wolves are investing in. Young English players also come at a premium. If Wolves want him let them pay for him. That means a very hefty transfer fee of around £10 million with add ons including a share of any future transfer fee.

Crowbar6753 Loader is clearly work in progress, but this guy has scored goals at every level he's played in so far, including on the International scene.
