He’s already worth much more than that!

I agree J but the cynic in me plus the shithousery from agents and premier clubs makes me think we wouldn't get anywhere near his actual value. The player isn't interested in what is paid for him but the lure of top flight football and a big wage would be enough to unsettle him and there's only outcome from that. It would be a huge day for us should we get proper wedge for him though! Even £20 million to a club our size is a game changing amount.He’s already worth much more than that!

With our luck we will get 5m with a 99% sell on fee but will stay with his new club for the rest of his career like cahill

Cahills fee was officially £1 million.
I never thought for a moment someone with the business acumen and awareness of going rates like Theo let him go that cheap.

We've done all we can with giving him a long contract but that's all our power done. If someone makes an offer and the player wants away he player will get his wish. I still maintain that he won't be sold for a huge amount. £20 million for an inexperienced championship player ain't happening.

If I remember rightly, I don’t think there was long left on his contract. Agree, that should have been sorted as they knew how good he was going to be a long time before we were even promoted from the third tier. Good to see that mistake isn’t being repeated with Esse.
Dont think the club will entertain a derisory offer, the player would not know if an offer comes in and the club reject it, I also think that Esse is level headed and will not get his head turned at the moment he is getting regular first team football with us which is not guaranteed elsewhere.

Keep starting him. Even if he has bad games. Personally think he will get 10 goals this year at least and as many assists. He’s like Fleming but twice the speed!

Also I hadn’t given it much thought before me but when you think how many players could be picked for England u21 and he is a regular…
By the end of the season, assuming he doesn’t get injured, he will have played other 60 games and won’t be an “inexperienced Championship player” anymore

The bidding club will let it be known to the media.
He'll be an inexperienced premier player albeit with much potential. Would he be a starter or one to be nurtured?By the end of the season, assuming he doesn’t get injured, he will have played other 60 games and won’t be an “inexperienced Championship player” anymore
Not many clubs would be willing to deal with others carried out their business that way.

It's the scum agents that do the media leaks, the club will know their upfront fee they want and I think it will be the add ons that make the deal a huge one or not.

I'd like Esse to stay but, realistically, if he continues with current rate of progress, we are going to struggle to hang on to him
According to TransferWise Esse's contract runs until June '26. The devil is in the detail. Does Esse have a buyout clause? Do we have the option to extend the contract by another year?
Assuming neither is the case, imo we need to renegotiate and extend his contract (again!) asap. If that's not possible, then we should listen to offers for him in January, otherwise we run the risk of another Wallace situation arising. Currently, given Esse's age and potential, I would hope that we could get £15m+ for him.

The details released by the club don't say much. What length is "Multi" year? Imo TransferWise is a decent site for stats, but it's a bit hit or miss when it comes to valuations and contracts
