Ipswich confirm offer price for Gary Roberts
 
See:

http://www.eadt.co.uk/content/eadt/s...A26%3A24%3A717

This confirms the £200,000 figure previously mentioned. How many think that's enough?

Doesn't paint a rosy picture of Ipswich either.

for around £200,000 that means its not set in stone :)

It's more likely to mean there is a bonus based on appearances and a possible sell on percentage if they sell him at a profit.

Big prices are paid by Championship Clubs. But Ipswich have a reputation for being canny in the transfer market.

Seem to recall Derby paid Luton £1m for Steve Howard their Centre Forward.

Striker David Graham cost cash strapped Sheffield Wednesday £250,000 from Wigan and he managed 2 goals in 19 league appearances.

Personally I rate Gary at £400,000 plus.

I take it there will be a decent sell on clause.

we'll get another 200k when he moves to another championship club next season. I bet he gets a shot at the Wales squad andf then Cardiff'll buy him

we should, in my humble opinion, get at least £350,000 for roberts, maybe even £500,000. here's why-

-ipswich fans are constantly singing his praises
-bobby robson singled him out for special praise
-it's rumoured john toshack is looking closely at him
-izale mcleod (mk dons forward) has been the subject of £1 million bids and roberts had more goals than him before he went on loan.

The price was agreed before Roberts played for Ipswich, the fans singing his praises would have had no bearing on that otherwise. It's also common amongst footballers to up their game while on loan trying to get a permanent deal.

As for comparing him to Mcleod you are comparing apples and pears.

Re: Ipswich confirm offer price for Gary Roberts
 
its not enough to be quite honest, the point of a loan is to have a closer look at a guy and see if he is worth bidding for. If he was crap, or got injured, would they still have given us 200k? no. Therefore because he has done well we should be able to up the price, or recall him or whatever. So what if that aint gentlemanly, Eric aint no gentleman when it comes to money.

The point of the loan was because they weren't allowed to buy him until January. If he was going to a premiership club he wouldn't have gone, it's only football league clubs that can 'use/abuse' the emergency loan window. I'm only guessing but I would say it was a done deal and the loan window was just an opportunity that allowed him to go then. Stanley get the money and they also save a couple of months wages.
