2m minimum!

To be expected. And I'm not surprised we've rejected them.
Just hope it doesn't unsettle him and he starts wanting to speak to clubs.

Think they'd have to treble that.

Sharp in and around the box?

He’s out of contract next season so I’d imagine we’d have to either offer him a new deal now or gambling and risk losing him for 0 at the end of next season

For me MR needs show him were strengthening and looking push for championship to stick with us and show hes a key player to get us there, butter him up to the last keep him happy.

I agree - I think we should hold out for closer to £1.5m really. Anything much less than that, and it'll be worth our keeping him - provided his head dosn't get turned of course. I'm not at all surprised about Reading's interest, just the low level of their bids. Maybe they think they can get him on the cheap because we're desperate for cash. That's no longer the case - for the moment at least.

If we were to get promoted I think we'd need to look elsewhere for a championship striker anyway tbf
And if we didn't get promoted I can see him wanting off anyway.

I'd guess we've already been talking about a new deal
The problem is most Championship clubs can dwarf the wages and bonuses that any League 1 club can offer
Even so we are in a very strong position for any of our under contract players

What makes you so sure the money won't go back into the squad?

Lee or Billy? (Other Sharps are available).

Just from past experiences. Difficult to replace a player of his calibre in league 1 without overpaying or finding a gem in leagues below realistically

I dont think he'll go anywhere. Robins is comfortable with the budget we have and he'll have agreed he has final say on transfers out i reckon

Agreed that it'll be hard to replace him, but that's not what you said. You said the money we make for him will unlikely be reinvested back into the squad.

I agree with this!
He loves Robins who stuck by him when he found goals hard to come by. If he repeated that with Reading he would be warming the bench.

Third bid according to some guardian journo. Would love some contract extension news next MR

I don't like these "Paper Talk" articles- they unsettle the player and alert all the other clubs.
Mark Robins needs to lean on McNulty to sign a new (improved) contract and then tell every other interested tin-pot clubs to do one!

Reading finished 3 points off being relegated - McNulty is at a club that loves and understands him - a club on the up.
Why would he want to join a club heading in the other direction?

Agree - MR & Doyle need to have a chat with him - emphasise the support he gets here & how much he's improved due to the coaching.

For me, a penny less than £1m is a robbery and we should be holding out for £1.5-2m. That’s his worth to us.
I’d be surprised if any championship side paid that because at 25, he’s not exactly a young talent, but he’s got his peak ahead of him. I’m hoping we’ll keep him this window.
