You might well be right there, but I don't understand why nobody is bidding. Why are they no clubs trying their luck at around £5-£7 million? Surely if he was genuinely open to a move his agent would be touting him round everywhere. Who knows, the wanting to move home suggestion might well be...

Fine, so we accept £3 million from Luton? Your're then in to the realms of it possibly being more sensible to keep him and having a go. Making the play offs alone is worth not far off that. Then we have to consider that he might not want to move anyway. What do you think is the minimum amount...

What would you do? On the one hand, you're shouting down those advocating that we let him play out his contract, for perfectly understandable reasons, but you're also acknowledging he's not worth very much right now and that we wouldn't make much from a sale - all while completely ignoring the...

But it's not in our power to do anything about it (if the stories of him wanting to go home are true). If he wants to run out his contract, he can, there is fuck all we can do.

It was more the contrast between your comments about Godden and Palmer, given that I thought Godden looked like someone who had won a competition yesterday* and that Palmer was excellent. I didn't see much evidence of straightforward passes being put out of play, there were a couple of straight...

Fuck me, how do people get through life being so literal? Yeah, I was definitely accusing him of being pissed and it wasn't a tongue in cheek comment at all.

That's great news, not so worried about us being a little undercooked now.

Exactly, if that's what he wants we simply can't stop him, and as long as he gives his all we're not going to drop him either. Unfortunately, we may just have to take it on the chin.

Have they only played the one friendly (Northampton) before today? That can't be right!?

You've praised Godden who was wearing his slippers yesterday and somehow managed to get a dig in at Palmer who was head and shoulders the best player on the pitch. Some good cider down there?

So we have no choice but to let him run down his contract then? He holds all the cards, we can accept any bid we like, but he can just refuse. Do we drop him in that scenario?

Not even if we offer silly money? If that's the case then, we have 2 choices, let him run down his contract and leave on a free, or accept a bid of around £5 million tops and try to force him out.

I may have missed it, but who is offering £15 million? I thought we'd only received a £3 million bid so far? Clubs know the situation we're in and won't be offering that sort of money. Like I say, could have missed it. If he continues to refuse to sign, we may be forced to accept far less than...

Nothing and I like him, I just think Da Silva is better suited to the way we are looking to play. That said, can't rule out Bidwell starting at Leicester, we may play a little more conservatively there. Longer term though, I think MR sees Da Silva as 1st choice, but this can all change based on...

Don't agree and I don't think Mark Robins agrees with you either. Da Silva definitely 1st choice atm. He'd have started Bidwell yesterday otherwise. We're clearly changing the way we play, much more emphasis on playing out from the back and also getting WBs higher up the pitch, Da Silva much...

Ok fair enough, but I don't think a dad wanting to be closer to his kids is that hard to believe, and none of us know for sure what would have happened had we been promoted.

I take it you're not a parent?

I don't understand it when ST holders paying £17-£20 per game are egging the club on to raise prices for those who cannot commit to a ST (for many valid reasons) to £33-£35. Talk about I'm alright Jack. To go from the current £20/£25/£33 model to a flat £35 would represent an enormous increase...

Surprised to see so many opting for Bidwell over Da Silva. Don't think it happens though.

That makes no sense. You're saying we're nearer top 2 without him in the team? The idea we can use the money and are guaranteed to emerge stronger I just don't buy. The money would get a straight replacement likely nowhere near his level and a couple of £1-£2 million players that could well flop...
