Kelman worth at least 3 millions, given his age and potential to improve.
The difference being Jude Bellingham has made 40 appearances in the championship (31 of which were starts) despite there being plenty of competition for places. Kelman on the other hand was playing in League One (a massive step down in quality) and realistically only got so much game time this year because we didn't have any strikers. Plus Jude only turned 17 last month, Kelman is 19 in November. It's almost unheard of for 16 year olds to play so many matches in the championship, it's less unheard of for an 18 year to play regularly in League One. Kelman's not done bad but he needs a season in League 2 where he's regularly scoring before we can entertain the idea of even getting £1m for him.

Some of the valuations in this thread are wishful at best, and fanciful at worst.
Elvis has one year on his existing deal, and wants out of the club. He’ll be gone for around £200k.
Would be nice to hang onto Kelman for another year, but there are teams like Spurs sniffing around him, which means his head has already been turned. We’re not getting seven figures in a month of Sundays, but we will get a few decent add-on stipulations, and maybe around £300k up front.
We would get more than that even if the contract runs out because he is under 24. Under the PFCC scheme we get x amount (about £70,000) for each year he has been at the club and the fact he has gone past 50 appearances would increase the fee.
Any previous offers are also taken into account. If a big team want the player before his contract is up then they will pay more, not less than a fee set by PFCC.

have to disagree about Elvis tho, he is def a league 2 player.. if we had better in his position he would be on the bench..dont forget we have an all round poor team (very poor)which needs re-building and is no way a league 1 team last couple seasons...been coming to roots since mid 70's and this team is by far the worst ive seen at roots.. last couple years...Elvis will improve with the right guidance and so will the youngsters in league 2.. mid table next year then push for a league 1 return 21/22I agree with GBJ on the valuations yes.
but remember the compensation will only kick in if the player is out of contract. If he’s in contract it will need to be a figure that’s agreeable and meets clubs valuation based on several factors from experience, age, current level and potential level and also length of current contract....in both cases not long term at all.
in terms of comp Elvis is worth far more than Charlie based on time at the club, expenditure currently laid out on wages and most importantly the amount of games he’s played.
Charlie will attract interest if he keeps scoring goals but top clubs will more likely look to have their own talent out on loan in the champ or league 1 than pay for someone from league 2.
elvis is not a league 2 player! He has 80 odd appearances in league 1 that alone classes him as a league 1 player. Add in he’s a multiple player of the month, a double player of the year and only 21 years old means he’ll attract championship interest..or the entry least look to stay in league 1.
My guess is Elvis at approx £250-300k and Charlie less than that but with bigger add ons.
Remember if both players sit tight until January the club will have February to April playing time from them before they then go for very little based on comp examples I can find.
100% agree and im sure he will improve and add a lot more to his game!I think Elvis winning player of the month awards is more down to his attitude than abilities sadly, and it wasn't up against huge competition either. I do feel we owe him a place in a more settled side, he is still young enough to add so much to his game.
