We'd manage to find a way to sell an 18 year old Messi for about £300k.
Have to agree.
We already had our first £1m player and we just sold him for £350K. Matheson will probably be the same unless we get someone into the club whose negotiating skills are just slightly superior to a child with a lemonade stall in his front garden.

Im not on about sell ons - Im on about up front fees.
Does anybody really know what our record outgoing transfer is?... Im all for add ons but a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Im completely underwhelmed with the Adshead deal maybe its time for a new approach and a new negotiator in transfer negotiations.
This is not the time for bickering.

800k Hogan

Considering we live in an age of 150 million pound plus transfers and run of the mill 50/60 million pound transfers then 800 thousand pounds is about 1000 quid in old money, pretty shite if you ask me.

The value of anything or anyone is what someone is prepared to pay. Havjng said that I sometimes wonder how these deals are arrived at. I guess the overriding factor is how desperate we are to sell someone, there were some shocking deals if you think about Lambert Holt and ALF but the need to sell overcame their ability to get a great deal.. Unfortunately we are rarely in the position to demand a decent price and end up with the second option, add ons, which are a poor and unreliable substitute for negotiating a good up-front payment in the first place. Never mind the quality feel the width!

Yes , we may never see a £1 million upfront fee for ANY Dale player - buying clubs know we are never likely to turn down £500k being offered never mind double that!

800k was a cracking deal for up based on Hogan's injury record at that time.
I guess Peterborough set the standard for selling players on and they focus on strikers. The market for a goalscorer will always be stronger than for a defender or midfielder. Unfotunately clubs like Rochdale end up with academies full of the players the Premiership clubs either dont want or have somehow missed and they tend not to be strikers, what Peterborough have done well is to pay for young talent, develop it and then sell it on for a much bigger fee..... but you need the wherewithall in the first place and its a much bigger gamble unless the odd £1m is neither here nor there. If we had managed to hang on to Hogan for another season we might well have sold him for 3 or 4 millions or more, equally his injuries might have ended his career before that happened. Risk v Reward. And we are very risk averse.

Imo. Mattheson has (much) quicker feet than Adshead - whether that's to do with his size and/or age and/or development...but more fast-twitch fibre muscles is a def. advantage in most sports. (Perhaps a reason why he's sometimes faded in latter parts of 1st team games as his endurance will most def. go). Also he def. has that absolutely 'no fear' approach.
As with a lot of other clubs' development squads (etc) we're always up against a more 'finished' product being readily available in war-torn wherever or 3rd world country X. No disrespect there but often get the impression in this country that players coast along in a safe zone whereas there's a lot will put in that extra mile to get away from Xxxxx.
