Given Ramsay's age, contract length and skill set I genuinely think the club should be looking for at least £5m.
I object to this...
The club should not be "looking for" any bids at all!
Keep him at Charlton, get promoted, and let him strut his stuff in the Championship.
In a Charlton shirt...
He's obviously a stand out player at this level and the bids will come in whether you object or not. Rather than going down the burying of heads in the sand route I hope the club for once get ahead of the situation by hyping Ramsay through the media, setting a very high transfer fee and go all out to identify and sign a replacement(s) early. Essentially the Brentford or Peterborough model.
Again people using transfer fee numbers which are not indicative of any sense of reality. There has been only 8 or 9 players ever sold for more than 5 million coming out of league one. They usually are young forwards/attacking midfielders who are scoring in the 17-25 goal range in the league. Think Delle Ali, Dwight Gayle, Britt assombolanga. We don’t have a single player in the squad who would go for 5 million
3 good examples of young forwards going for 5 million or so from Leave. Peterborough had I believe just been relegated to League 1 when Gayle went to Palace in the summer. Assombolanga impressed at Southend before Peterborough turned him into a financial asset when he went to Nottingham Forest. Alli was sought after as a teen at MK Dons before moving to Spurs for 5 million up front with add on's. Dele lost his way in his mid 20's but TBF to him he inherited a lot of baggage from his parents.

I think he'll attract bids if we don't go up, and it will be difficult to keep him .
