There are some absolutely crazy prices being mentioned here. 7m, 8m, 10m etc. He's never scored a goal above league two level.
Back in the real world, for a player of his experience we'd be doing very well to get an offer of 5m plus a sell on %.
Personally though i'd prefer to keep him and see how he gets on at Championship level next season.15 -

Personally though i'd prefer to keep him and see how he gets on at Championship level next season.Yet despite not scoring a goal above League Two level, Brighton think he can score goals in the Premier League - If he can score goals in the Premier League, he's going to suddenly be worth a lot more than £10m given the ridiculous fees that float around up there.I do agree that I'd prefer to keep him, and see how he gets on in the Championship, as think we'd be able to add another £5m on top of that if he has a good 12-months6 -
Don’t work like that .. we can say what we like but we all know the power now is with the player and agenteastterrace6168 said:
Yeah, we tell 'em to f'off unless they meet our valuation, he's contracted till at least 2028...RonnieMoore said:Trouble is once his agent smells money there will only be one outcome3 -
It’s not when that player isn’t in our first team plans this season, nor is he a senior player with any sway, were it Jones or Ramsay it would be differentRonnieMoore said:

Exactly. He also has 2 & a half years left on his contract + a club option for another year. Not to mention our owners being worth billions, so we aren’t desperate for cash.Steven81 said:
Considering brightons track record for finding talent and selling them on for big money surely we have to hard ball them a bit and not fold at the first couple of offers,they have the money and if they don't pay so be it we develop him.arny23394 said:
Brighton: Ok, if 3.5m isn’t enough, how about 5m?raytreacy said:
Absolute nonsense. Mbick has played a handful of games in League One with us and for Colchester in League Two. Suddenly he is going to be in a Premiership squad? I am a regular watcher of Academy football and Mbick is a decent player, but that is all. 4million plus add ons is what we should be asking. Look what happened to Mason Burstow.Red_Chester said:
They rate Mbick very highly and will get him for less than 10 million. What might annoy people too is he will more than likely be in their squad for prem games this season….yet we didn’t recall himForeverAddickted said:Norwich are signing a Norwegian Striker for €7m / Oxford have signed a 26-year old Striker from South Korea whose club turned down bids of £1.5m in the summer from other Championship sides.Brighton have a long way to go before they reach what we should be demanding... £10m minimumThats for the potential alone, let alone addons in my opinion
Charlton: No, we will only take 4m and that’s final.7 -
What makes you think Kanu is ahead of him? They're both on loan at the same level and Kanu is 2 years older.superclive said:Mbick is an interesting one. one good season for us and he would be a 15-20m player. but to me leaburn and Kanu are in fromt of him in terms of young strikers. we also haVe Kelman who is young, and then Godden and Dykes. plus TC as a young forward.
sell him and buy a really gpod LwB ? where we have zero options ?
Mbick is a unit so has all the physical attributes required for a modern day striker and i think he has a much higher ceiling in terms of potential. Kanu is decent enough to have a career at league one/two level but i don't think he will go much higher than that. For Mbick, he can definitely go higher, and Brighton clearly think so as well.7 -
As for Mbick, a Quick Look at the careers of Mason Burstow and James Beadle would be wise.Even Lookman struggled to make that move to the Prem initially.11

Enough of this, just cut Brighton out and sell him to Chelsea for 80m now based on Chelsea's recruitment over the last few years29

Does it make sense moving early in your career, which could be more of a hindrance - Or is it worth waiting 12-18 months, and seeing what happens, because we've never been a club that'll hold its players hostage to moving on, provided the price is right.The worry for us, does Mbick see the move as a financial windfall, which will set him up for life, if in the next 6-months he picks up a bad injury which basically ends his prospects... Thats our biggest threat to the transfer.2

They haven't even offered 3.5mill thou. £2.5mill raising to possible £3.5.
Not my money but since he's on such a long deal, why would we sell, he'll play for us next year whatever league we're in then we can judge. A squad championship striker is about 3.5-5 million as it is.13 -

£10m, 50% sell on and Greenland. Otherwise they can get stuffed33

Tricky one. I can see both sides, but what would the reaction be if we signed a young striker who had scored a few goals for Colchester for £7.5m?1

This could be a good opportunity to cement a championship place.
Id always rather keep our young players and see them thrive, but the club need to be sensible and if they can get the offer to an opportunity to really build a better squad with a strong sell on, then it could be the wise option.
Every chance we could get him back on loan next season anyway if we deem him good enough.0 -

Seeing how some people reacted to us spending circa 5m on League one goal scoring striker Charlie Kelman, pretty fing apocalyptic.
The difference being though, the prem clubs can drop 7/10m on potential and afford for it to not work out.1 -
Remember a time when Leipzig and Brentford were in for Leaburn and we held on, after some injury hit seasons those clubs aren’t interested anymore. As much as I agree that we can’t just sell cheap sometimes it is best to cash in while the interest is there.0

I'd be baffledAs a Premier League side, I'd expect him to go into the U21s, or maybe back out on loan - Whats the TV money in the top flight... Something like £120m, so £7.5m on a Striker for the future doesnt sound too bad when you put it into context5

Ronnie, he's contracted till AT LEAST 2028, we don't have to sell him, and he will stay put unless we let him go, regardless of what his f'in agent says, that's how it works...🤷♂️RonnieMoore said:

Its not that we need to sell him, its that nobody will offer 10m in the first place.ForeverAddickted said:
Why? - He's our player until 2028... Do we need to sell him or something?Croydon said:£10m is a hugely unrealistic ask1 -
didn't think much to Mbick in the few times I've seen him play for the first team but has looked good for Col U. Could see him going to Brighton and ending up back here in a few years tbh. 5m with a sell on sounds good to me (if reinvested), also peanuts to Brighton...3

No player is worth what they get sold for.raytreacy said:
This is pie in the sky. Worth nowhere near those figures.Todds_right_hook said:I hope we have a tough and firm stance on this. £10m, all up front plus 30% sell on and a loan for next year
depending who they have in thei u-21’s, a left back on loan now and we will call it £9.5m
brighton are buying potential and not a finished article. If they want him, they pay what we want for him, not what they tell us his worth. Or they move on and he stays with us. Simple5 -
Mbick would be stupid not to take the move, it will be whether we accept the transfer rather than Mbick. Brighton will probably offer 4x the wages we can so will be no concern about agreeing personal terms. People say it will harm his career, I don’t think he’s anywhere near guaranteed to start games for us next season unless we got relegated. Brighton would presumably loan him out to an appropriate level whilst helping his development.ForeverAddickted said:Laddick01 said:As for Mbick, a Quick Look at the careers of Mason Burstow and James Beadle would be wise.Even Lookman struggled to make that move to the Prem initially.Hate to sound a bit brutal, but thats their problem - We need to think about the club and its long term futureI think its Mbick who needs to consider Burstow / Beadle / Sarmiento, rather than us.

Here we go again with us not having a clue in how player valuations work. Do you know how many players who primarily had success in league 2 were sold for10 million or more. I will give you a hint. It’s zero. The same posters who were saying Miles was worth 10 million when there were offers in the table for just over a million last January.9

This.Chris_from_Sidcup said:The issue here is if his head gets turned and he wants to go. PL clubs these days have so much money they can probably offer 20k a week and not even flinch.
We couldn't stop Defoe or Parker leaving.0 -
Some sense at last. Bloke on X saying we should get 20M for him and a 20per cent sell on clause.😁Bostonaddick said:Here we go again with us not having a clue in how player valuations work.
