    It'd have to be a decent fee.

    Anything more than the £7m that was mentioned last week and I'd sell. But it better be given straight to Lenny for another midfielder with equal or more ability.

    Anything above 7 million like I’ve said in the past with a sell on fee and he can go.

    Never been the same player since Moussa left. Sign the young lad from Motherwell.

    I would keep hold. On his game he's absolute class and can pick a pass out of nothing.

    Had injury problems last season and let's be honest last part of the season who actually played well?

    He often looks like he doesn't want to be here in my opinion. 7m plus with a sell on fee and I wouldn't be unhappy so long as the money goes on a new player.

    If we get more for him than we got for Armstrong we should grab it with both hands.

    Hopefully we can get around 8mil for him, he downed tools when moussa left so clearly doesn't want to be here anyway.

    You would hope the board would use this money plus the 9mil we got from Rodgers to Leicester, we could do plenty of damage with 17mil to spend.

    I really don't mind either way at this point. He's a good player, but regressed badly this season. Any money we get from we'll not re-invest and the apologists will just claim it went to giving other players a pay rise or something stupid.

    I would sell but only at the right price. I’m quite interested to see what Lennon can get out of him next season.

    The smart but difficult thing to do is sell players when their value is at their highest, which obviously coincides with them playing well. I get the feeling that a good season from Ntcham would see his value double, whereas a mediocre season would likely result in us still getting a few similar to those I’ve heard quoted for him.

    I’d like to keep him, we won’t see a penny of that transfer fee and you all know it

    His worth is what someone's willing to pay. If Fulham went straight in with a £9 million it's insane and we're even more insane for knocking it back. That said it was towards the end of the transfer window, they were desperate for a CB and he had just performed well at the World Cup.

    Contrast that to Ntcham who has been absolutely muck all season bar a few games in September and has became 2nd fiddle to Ryan Christie. I hope there's a bidding war that pushes his price up but I can't see us getting anywhere near 8 figures for him.

    Aye you will only get what someone's willing to pay but ntcham is only 23 he's a good player and at that age still has a huge scope for improvement

    I agree. No-one has doubted his talent and potential, it's there for all to see. His attitude and performances this season have been horrendous this season though. Buying clubs will know that.

    I like how fans want the most money for him but conveniently forget that most of the money will end up in Lawells pocket and nowhere near the first team.

    "Hope they put that money straight back into transfers" don't make me laugh...

    Sad to see him go, but his talent and ambitions are best served in a bigger league, he looks bored here.

    Id like to keep him. Has undoubted ability.
    Maybe someone like Lennon can instil a bit of fire in him.
    Could be like a new signing
