I'd put him in the 400-600k bracket based on nothing whatsoever.
What we need is competition for his signature....he's 2 years left on contract, so a fee must be involved, as long as more than 1 club is prepared to substantially up his wages, we can take the best offer. |

A more useful comparison with NA, might be ALF (Adam le Fondre). Early years with Stockport and Rochdale, hit it off at Rotherham, so Reading apid £300K for him.
Goal hangers are not the flavour of the month, with many managers. It's more about wages, if as seems to be expected a club turns NJ's head, and is prepared to pay about 300K he'll be gone.
Anyone know this man? |

Is he any better than the strikers presently at clubs in the Championship? If he goes, I can see him going to a club like Sheff Utd. We have 2 assumptions, though. Power wants to cash in and Ajose actually wants to go. |

And the assumption that the richer clubs can literally afford to take a gamble on whether he makes the step up or not. |

... and the evidence suggests he cannot make the step up. I can see Power holding out for 750k-1Mil. I'm not trying to say I think he's worth that much, because I don't, but I do think that his goals next season are likely to be worth more to us than a club is willing to offer in monetary value. That, and he has 2 years left on his contract. Somebody mentioned 300k? We sold Flint for about that much, and still Power was haggling. The 750k-1Mil could well be very different if we are having this same discussion this time next season when he has 1 year left though. Oh, and there's always the chance that Ajose might kick-off about wanting to go, which would change things a tad. |

Oh of course. But I still think there are clubs who would take the gamble. Times change, players change. Some "click" at some clubs and just don't at others. I just can't see a goal scoring record like his going ignored. |

We paid Alfreton 150K for Flint....and then some on a sell on, so perhaps approx £100K ish profit. Of course there may have been some weird deal to get NA from Leeds to take into account, but we'll never know. I just hope we've a sell on for Flint....if Leicester win the Prem, big old skool donkey centre halves like Wes Morgan and Robert Huth will be all the rage....Flint could be worth a small fortune. |

Not convinced we have, LP was very vague when asked, saying "i did the deal, we must have", "yeah I'm sure we have", "i'll check"....

Agreed. Be surprised & disappointed if he goes for anything less than a million. |

Not a hope. If he does will be nearer batch's estimate, or a low fee + young players depending on suitor(s) |

It certainly won't be anything close to £1million up front, not with Nicky's record above middling L1 sides. Power bargains well but can't see him clawing in more than 500k plus add-ons. It'll be then billed as max total possible value as/if/when he leaves. But to reach top end of that price bracket will depend on appearances/goals.
