Big money I reckon - be unaffordable

Different level of money due to the revenue streams, so should give them more flexibility with FFP (if anything it probably benefits them). Look at the sponsorship they announced yesterday! They'll be championship within 3-4 years

Trouble is they’re right about their position. They won’t sell unless it’s over the odds, and they probably will sail through L2 and L1

If there’s a bidding war I think it’s probably unlikely. Be a lot of poker faces and negotiation tactics.

that from Nixon? strange given we’ve already signed a left back

Wouldn’t bother with Bradley personally. From the sounds he’s not recovered well from an injury. Remember Fadz is the exception, not the rule.

Probably true, but if there’s 5+ clubs seriously in for him, then we can definitely afford to negotiate hard on price.

I'd sign this guy in a heartbeat - not a huge stretch to think he could get 20 goals - if he does that, his price will have doubled

Surely if there are a lot of clubs interested the fact there’s only one year left is negated?

Agreed on this. Is it a new thing, two coin tosses? Seems like a huge advantage, and I'm fairly sure historical data would back that up That said, the exact same thing happened to Carlisle the day after and they won

Obviously not ITK, so if that's the case fair enough. Logically it doesn't make sense though. On £8k a week that's £416,000 a year. He'd still need to have been earning well over the odds in L2 though, which he surely wasn't

Only issue for me could be McNally's wages. I reckon he earns a fair amount

Honestly think you're miles off - you don't get a 50% pay increase based on promotion. Will be 4-5k a week, no more than that.

Does he though? Not sure McNally's strengths fit the way Kompany wants his defenders to play

Dublin or Keane. In the later years McSheffrey, was properly deflated when he left - felt like he was the best player in the division for a short period.

Unlikely, signed for us in L2 on probably 2/3k a week - can't see his wages tripling. I reckon £5k tops.

I think we might get more for Gyokeres and Hamer than people think. The numbers they posted, and the noise and attention they've received - I'd be disappointed if we weren't looking at £30m between the two of them. 1 year left, but irrelevant if there's a bidding war.

Yeah good shout, I think O'Hare being out really forced the change

They paid £2m when he'd never played Champ football. I'd expect his value to have increased on the strength of the last 5 months.

Agreed with other posters - you can't stand still in football. That said, we were brilliant this season and will be a huge ask given the likely departures. I think a lot depends on what direction Robins goes in. The ball-dominant style we had in L1 is probably what is needed for top 2, however...
