With aston villa looking to buy tav realistically what would the can't say no price be and is there any rumours of us targeting full backs for both sides?


1.) 30 May 2019
30 May 2019 18:37:14
8 million at least.


2.) 30 May 2019
30 May 2019 18:47:21
10 Million.


3.) 30 May 2019

One of our most important players and at 27 reaching his peak in the next 2-3 years so nothing less than £10m.


4.) 30 May 2019

whatever going rate is for a fullback in EPL

10m i’d say considering he’s our captain and tied to a long term contract

and villa just made 120m+ getting promo’d into EPL so price tag has to be relative.

5M with add ons and we will sell, need to be realistic guys, the Scottish league is regarded down south as being below the championship. I’d luv us to keep Tav as his assists etc are hard to find but I think he will be away in the summer.


6.) 30 May 2019

Important to note Tav is rarely injured, not many we can say that about. No less than £10m, no pressure to sell so why do it. We are looking to improve the starting 11 not weaken it first. I’d be keeping him.


7.) 30 May 2019
30 May 2019 20:06:22
A like tav but he's not the best defender OK he's got few assists but many goals has he cost us with poor defending.


8.) 30 May 2019
30 May 2019 20:19:50
if its regarded as below the championship then they won't want our players will they.


9.) 30 May 2019
30 May 2019 20:46:46
I’d say nothing less than 12m. He’s the club captain and we ain’t in a position where we have to sell. Will cost a lot to replace those goals and assists. Dosnt matter if Scottish league ain’t. EST in the world. Hutton went for 9m and how many years ago was that. Time we started demanding top dolla if we do sell.


10.) 30 May 2019

Disagree east belfast a think his defendings came on leaps n bounds and his assists are irreplaceable game v killie at the end was a sign of how much we would miss him.


11.) 30 May 2019
30 May 2019 21:19:01
Whether we like it or not, playing in the SPL will mean that we won’t get the true value for any player.


12.) 30 May 2019
30 May 2019 21:24:13
If Teirneys worth 25-30 apparently and injury prone, then so is Tav who’s injury free.


13.) 30 May 2019
30 May 2019 21:47:56
Oaft, 10 million for Tav. Be realistic guys. Villa paid 2.5 million for McGinn. No way will they pay 10 for Tav.


14.) 30 May 2019
30 May 2019 22:00:49
15 million minimum. That’s a punt for teams down south.


15.) 31 May 2019

If Tavernier goes, which I hope he doesn't, the price should be not less than £8million, but I cannot see Gerrard sanctioning any such transfer. However, given the unjustified criticism and vilification our captain receives from certain quarters, it would not surprise me to see him wanting to move to the EPL.


16.) 31 May 2019
31 May 2019 06:11:52
9M or no deal Aston villa are rich now tavernier could do a job for them that's how I got the 9M figure his assists and attacking attributes are worth that kind of money it's realistic to believe that sum.


17.) 31 May 2019
31 May 2019 08:07:09
He is arguably priceless to us. We will be lucky to get another RB with as many goals and assists like this again!

For me you state 15m and accept nothing less than 12m.

No more p! ss taking when we sell our players. Seriously Waghorn 8m!

However we should be saying NOT FOR SALE

This needs to be our year, Lennon sacked by Christmas.


18.) 31 May 2019

Every player has their price. If Villa are apparently willing to pay £10-12m for Kent, I'd be wanting something similar for Tav.


19.) 31 May 2019
31 May 2019 09:44:32
10 for tav 10 for morelos

Buy kent still got few quid to spend.


20.) 31 May 2019

if they are buying him to be a first team player in the English premier league then 15 million. The money is ridiculous down there and we shouldn't let him go on the cheap. John mginn went for 2.5million and they would want at least 20 million for him now after one season.


21.) 31 May 2019
31 May 2019 10:03:17
@novorfc the mcginn situation was completely diff. He was running out of contract, he wasn’t club captain, he wasn’t playing in Europe and most importantly he was at HIBS! 2.5m is a lot of £ to them but isn’t as significant to a team like us. Villa played that very well saw a bargain and went for it this is nothing like that.


22.) 31 May 2019

Rangers should play hardball with any offers. the EPL buy lesser players of clubs from more obscure leagues than ours for £15million + all the time.


23.) 31 May 2019
31 May 2019 11:37:32
If villa or any other club want james tavernier for that matter, then he shouldn't be sold for a penny less than £10million, as far as i'm concerned!


24.) 31 May 2019
31 May 2019 12:52:46
I would say £8-10million has to be minimum price set. We have polster, Flanagan and Ryan jack who has played right back for Scotland before, but taking away those 3 and failing to find instant replacement I see Alan Hutton has left villa today could do a turn for a season or 2.


25.) 31 May 2019

Sputnik, none of the four you mentioned is anywhere near Tavernier. We're supposed to be building a title-winning team, you don't do that by replacing your best players with average ones.


26.) 31 May 2019
31 May 2019 15:51:02
7mil mark and I think he'd be away. I think hutton would be an option. I'd be quite happy to go with flanagan at left back, if he keeps going the way he is going then it would be hard to not play him. 👍.

Nice to see so many AT LAST valuing Tav. East Belfast bro 20 assists is not a few and almost double anyone else. Strangely I agree that Tav. would not be as effective down South. I really hope he stays but at 27 with the sort of wage packet he'd get might be hard for him to refuse. I know its only paper talk but Colombian press are saying Newcastle want Morelos for £20m impossible for us to refuse.

Tsb has the energy to play in premier league his value to villa
Would probably include staying in premier league but I would like to think the bidding to start at 8
Mill with the add on.

Tav will not go for less than 10 million chaps. 2 reasons: 1. He's a stat machine which is the main basis of how a player is valued now. Someone mentioned lack of injuries; good point. This year he finished with 17 goals and 20 assists or the other way round. FROM A DEFENDER. he is epitomy of a modern right back. Scores, assists and has the temperament to be a captain.
2. GerrArd said at the beginning of the season the spl will not dictate a player's value. If their good enough then they will cost what they're worth. If he goes back on that he'll look a fool so I doubt that will happen. 10 mill minimum guys. If he's half the player Tierney is (which he is much better than that) then the asking price is 15.

Your correct Easytiger, stats has a big input to a player's transfer fee. A few weeks back i read stats between james tavernier and kieran tierney and tav came out tops in everything bar defensive tackles won. If tierney is worth £20-£25million, then tav has to be worth a good bit north of £10million. Tav i truly believe is fitter than tierney and arguably the fittest footballer in Scotland. Always have rated tav and think he's a very good player.

Also has a great engine. Sick to death of defending Tav on here when the vultures are circling. Great to see so many of us backing him for a change.
