Just checked, and they have Copa America winner Martinez and Jed steer who has a number of prem appearances already who would be ahead of JS.
Third choice kalinic is on a season long loan away, so if he does sign he would be in competition with the Finnish u21 keeper for the backup backup slot
£2m for a L1 goalie is far too much, we'd probably be looking at £500k plus add ons sadly.

I just don't understand the logic for that figure?! Could you explain?£2m for a L1 goalie is far too much, we'd probably be looking at £500k plus add ons sadly.
If you were Jack Stevens and wanted to further your career and no doubt quadruple your salary you would put in a transfer request if the club didn’t let you go.My question is. Do we have to sell ?. How much money does this consortium actually have to put into the club, assuming the takeover goes ahead ?.
How ambitious are they with all the talk about being a Championship club ?. Yes, we have unfortunately had to sell some of our best players to survive in the past, and unless big changes are afoot then i can only see their being no difference in the future, we need a stable side to gain promotion otherwise we are going nowhere., at present we are a solid league one club.

is this really how people want to see football, A top club buys a player because they can then Loan him for a couple of years before selling himAs others have mentioned perhaps selling Stevens and then a loan back would work
Everyone knows Stevens needs to play games to continue to develop.
So how about Villa buying then loaning back to us this season, then we have a year to get a replacement sorted. Then year 2 Villa look at him again and maybe loan him to a championship club. Even if he wasn't ready after 2 years for Premier league football, and Villa wanted to then sell then they'd get decent money back for a young goalie with experience. But it will be interesting to see where Stevens is at after a further full 2 seasons..
That for me would be a lowish risk policy for a buying club and for Stevens.
I just don't understand the logic for that figure?! Could you explain?
What about the years left on his contract for starters?
Jack is young, goalies tend to get better with age and in their prime in late 20's. He is unproven at other clubs. and only played 27 times for the 1st team.I just don't understand the logic for that figure?! Could you explain?
What about the years left on his contract for starters?
I would think that Stevens would go for £1m + based on that.If the link works correctly, top fees received for League 1 goalkeepers...

It really isn't that simple.What we should do is say to JS you’ve only just signed a three year deal as a club we expect you to at least stay for this season and then next summer we will sell if a club comes in for you and if your no happy you can go back to being our U23 goalie… simples
But transfer fees have kept going up wildly in the 5 years since Bentley transferred. Premier league 2 mill is peanuts , absolutely peanuts .Can't see us getting anywhere near 2 million for Jack. Take Daniel Bentley ex Southend keeper that was sold to Brentford for 1.1 million in 2016, he was far more experienced then Jack. Keepers don't fetch the money that outfield players do and maybe us as a club should refuse all offers even if Jack does want the move.
Crazy , unrealistic and unfair . The guy will make enough money to set him up for life .What we should do is say to JS you’ve only just signed a three year deal as a club we expect you to at least stay for this season and then next summer we will sell if a club comes in for you and if your no happy you can go back to being our U23 goalie… simples
