At least Jamie had a bit of a career. Ballou could end up being part of this discussion depending how the next 2-3 years go. and Canadian Messi!

This is just mental. I guess with our recent success we are getting USA levels of hype around our players (i.e. Dike, Pepi). The thing is JMR hasn't even shown anything at the pro level yet.

dyslexic nam Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 It is easy for an agent and a club to value him at $20M. The real question is what someone else is willing to pay and that remains to be seen. Dominic94, Shway, toontownman and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 20M 😳. They need to pump the brakes and drive slow with this kid. If TFC are valuing him at that, it seems like they are already trying to recoup their projected losses from the Insigne money. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they view him as a very important part of the club and a young Canadian star who has the potential to be at the level of Alphonso Davies or Jonathan David ?

Dominic94 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Don’t blame them for holding and trying to get that 20M, but gotta play him and would have gotten it had they played him. Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although JMR seems like a level headed kid for his age, that idea sounds like unnecessary pressure for a young player who has one 90 min game under his belt... no?

They could value him at 1 billion dollars, it doesn't matter. Like a previous poster said, the market determines value, just like with any other asset.

Lansdude Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 The hype is getting to be a bit much, I feel like a lot of people are just repeating what some random scouts said a couple years ago and that's just gotten passed back and forth. Yeah, I know about the training with big clubs too. We'll see soon enough though. Footyeh, dyslexic nam, costarg and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that they are fine with no one taking them up on the price because they want to keep him. The market may see JMR as being worth substantially less than $20 million, but they aren't going to haggle the price down if TFC are happy not selling.

Of course TFC don't have to sell if they don't want, but that doesn't change the fact that his value will be determined relative to other comparable players. If he doesn't live up to the hype and he's only realistically a $5M player, then setting his price at $20M is just a fancy way of saying he's not for sale. Of course it's just posturing at this point. Edited February 24, 2022 by frmr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we'll see if TFC actually play their 20 million dollar man. God i hope Bradley brings some common sense and development to that organization.

His contract expires at the end of this year so they need to get him signed ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baulderdash77 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 He certainly looks like he has the talent to be a top end player; but let’s keep in mind that his value isn’t $20 million. It’s probably closer to $5 million. Plus he’s played 460 1st team minutes (albeit when he was 16 and 17). If Toronto keeps talking $20 million the he will not be going anywhere.

Or, he will be going somewhere, but on his own terms at the end of his contract, and Toronto can claim a small amount of training compensation.
