Is chuba worth 12m?

He scored 29 goals and was our best player by miles. He was worth way more than that as I fear we will find out watching his replacement(s) this season
 
A better question would be
" would you buy him for 12 million next year, today ? "
He's a classic double or squits bet
 
I think he'll do OK at ajax, but not score near the goals he did last season.

He was fortunate that he was playing on a team that was set up to maximise his strengths and scored lots of goals.
 
I think we all have to reasses the curent market value for players and use that as a barometer

12 million is absolutely sweet FA these days in the grand scheme of things, Promotion to the premiership is worth over 100 million

Our win ratio with and without Akpom in the side is comical in terms of differece, in the last calender year we have won 2 games of football when he has not been in the side

So if he makes that much of a difference, is he worth 12 million?

He would be worth a lot more than that if he had more than one year left on his contract

I'd be disappointed if we paid 12million for a striker who has had just one prolific season.

Me too

He’s clearly got the ability but requires a specific coach to be able to play the way he can
He’s gone for money and financial stability for his family
 
I hope he bags a healthy return and proves he has genuinely developed as a player, after a difficult initial spell with us.
Says a lot about a players game when Ajax want them.
18 goals is my prediction.
 
Like I said on the other thread, he’s joined Ajax who are on the back of their worst season for 15 years. They have no champions league football this season, they’re not the team they were even just a few seasons ago.
 
I'm going to say a different way of looking at this is he is worth £12m to buy on a 5 year deal but not worth having for one season to lose £12m on at the end of it.

He got us goals but we had about £35m in premier league loans excluding steffan, so we are as different team. I think we'd still struggle a bit this year
