That’s always been the plan for him. I was surprised that it didn’t happen last summer if I’m honest as his agent was talking about using the playoffs to boost his profile. He has good stakeholders in his career who are thinking long-term. I’ve been present at a couple of agent pitches saying...

Don’t know whether to admire your unadulterated scepticism or be irritated by it.

I’m of the same impression, but I kind of wish he’d come out and say “this is all part of the bigger plan”. Mind, if he said that the Facebook forum would drown in slobber with all the dribbling.

Whilst I don’t disagree with you, that again seemed like a situation where the club were actively seeking to sell to raise funds. Really limits negotiation when you start from such a base. Whilst we’re on fairly insecure financial footing, we’re never going to be in the best position to realise...

Can he play up front?

Haven’t even won the Checkatrade Trophy. Pathetic. Oh, hang on....

I’d imagine a 10 rather than a winger.

You’re on a real downer aren’t you. Cheer up, can you honestly say ya selling one of our brightest prospects on the eve of the season is a surprise?

Don’t think it’s a bad fee but could have got more. The whole situation definitely smacks of him being hawked about. If we follow this up with a couple of permanent signings and a loan I will be happy enough. Losing a player of immense quality but he didn’t seem to quite do it last season, be...

Chaplin gone. Bayliss gone. 14-0 loss. Train breaks down on the way home.

I’m assuming the club’s stance against the CT has softened over the last few years as Andy Turner still seems to get his fair share of interviews and the odd ‘scoop’. The non-footballing side of the club is where they seem to lack information/sources.

Yep.

I’ve thought that may be the case. You’d expect that a formation like that Bayliss would definitely be a starter. It does tie in with the fact he’s been offered about.

I get that you want Archer in there, but dropping a batsman for him seems silly. Who could have predicted that our main bowler would go off injured after 4 overs?

Couldn’t shoot. Couldn’t cross. Just because he ran around a lot it doesn’t make him a good player. Barnsley are absolute mugs for paying any fee for him, let alone £1.2m.... /grendelmode

Any idea on whether that’s known targets (Walker/Bright) or he’s moving on to new targets?

Let’s assume that’s a deal that could be done, and the proceeds of the sale ensured the permanent signing of Bright (I know, I know), would people be happy with this?

Have to say I’m a little surprised there hasn’t been an announcement yet. Of course, now it will happen in the next 5 minutes.

Evidently you haven’t a clue then.

How many strikers will that leave them with? Can we have Ponticelli back and send him somewhere else? At this rate he’d be higher up the pecking order for us than them.
