Brentford to sign Keane Potter for £16m plus significant add on’s and some fans still think Hamer’s value is circa £5m 😂😂😂 I’m not suggesting they are similar players or even that Hamer is as good but it shows that premier clubs will pay more money than some of our fans expect. The Spence fee...

It’s part of the development of player rules that were brought in to help protect clubs that invest in academies for years only to see players not sign new contracts at 19-20 and leave the club for nothing. The compensation isn’t normally huge.

He might be come Sept you plum

To what extent are their plans being hampered by not knowing how many of the big 3 will leave ? Clearly we don’t want to be buying cheap and cheerful if Robins then sells 2 and has a few million to reinvest …

They didn’t announce anything.

I personally think we could find a “10” that would add more end product in terms of goals and assists than O’Hare. I love how he helps us in transition but I’m not sure it’s clear cut that Hamer is the easiest to lose.

I could not disagree more. If we sell Hamer he will be a massive player to lose. let’s not now pretend he’s rubbish because it looks like he might be leaving us.

Im not sure it works like that yheee days. They will know all about our best players. They may try to find out about his character but unlikely to ask “ is he any good ? “

I wish I was negotiating with you. If Vik gets 8-10 goals by Xmas you will get more than £15m in January. Young forwards have always commanded a premium, always will.

Right backs don’t tend to go for more than centre forwards … however exciting they are. Both he and Vik have had one exciting season in the Championship. That’s it.

The Spence fee is an interesting benchmark. If as speculated it’s £15m rising to £20m for a right back with a questionable off the pitch life ( according to Warnock ) then what does that make a striker worth ??

The Buchanan bs McCallum analysis on the same site is also interesting

The Robins comments re operating with a smaller squad are a u turn on his close of season comments so something has changed.

I think we all know what he means. When managers or DOF’s change they have their own ideas of what type of system or players they want. That can lead to good players leaving. I’m not suggesting Panzo is an example of that but the broader point is valid. Warnock didn’t fancy Spence as a player...

Including Oggy !

I’d be happy with that …

Not for me

He didn’t set the world alight at Birmingham despite being a bluenose. Part of the reason Gykores was so effective was his ability to use his strength and relative pace to go past defenders. Players like Deeney can’t offer that. It’s one of the reasons I think Waghorn has struggled. He often...

@Skybluebeliever any new insights ? how big a blow is theJCS decision to Robins or did he have this as unlikely for some time now ?
