Did I say there have been widespread offers of £30k per week or have you just simply not bothered to read the post properly?

Of course it will. But as shown with the Paterson rumours, players are still trying their upmost to remain on lucrative contracts. I suspect there's around a 25-30% reduction on average in terms of what players demand to what they actually receive. However, given that the average wage for a...

Ultimately in the end if their career is on a significant downturn then yes, they'll have to take a massive drop but for the most part players will try and negotiate contract terms that are at least in the same ballpark as their former wage.

Whilst this is true, free agents are still going to try and get as close as to their former contract as is possible. Footballers usually live to their contracts so any significant drop is likely to hurt them financially. It usually isn't as simple as 'they'll still earn a shed load so £10k pw...

Given his crossing and forward play were probably the poorest part to his game I really don't think we'll miss it all that much? You're making him out to be far better than he was. He was an able defender but had much to improve upon.

No number. Just: $$

He could have all the skill in the world. It's meaningless however if he doesn't put the work in, in training and consistently applies himself.

Yep I stated this before. Little point in getting hung up on the fee as it's likely to be heavily clause based. Equally, the fee itself is actually pretty reasonable for a striker of his age and background.

I think the £1m fee was initially quoted by the Swedish press.

Even if we did lose out for the sake of a couple of grand here or there, that may not be the primary factor of us losing out. For instance with regards to Collins and perhaps Walsh, couldn't it be more down to the fact that they've joined Cardiff and Swansea respectively because both clubs are...

That's because it's nonsensical. (Not to dig out Saddlebrains as he's only passing on what he heard). Four years into his time at the club and Robins is suddenly coming to blows with Boddy due to the lack of resources budget - baring in mind there's just been a global pandemic that has nigh on...

Unless there's an unforeseen reason behind this (Covid) I think that's actually pretty poor by the club.

The CBS Arena then?

They've just signed Grant so I doubt it. Plus all reports suggest Ipswich are the frontrunners.

Probably fairly high. I suspect our record in developing other clubs' players whilst they're on loan with us is fairly well known amongst Premier League clubs. As a result we'd likely get a fairly good pick.

Yeah. And if you look at the calibre of players that scored above 15 goals last season, Godden with respect isn't anywhere near their level in terms of quality.

Godden is a decent enough striker but I think it's unrealistic to suggest he'd get between 15 and 20 goals in the Championship.

Great PR for the academy.

I'm not sure that's actually right. I could be wrong but didn't Boddy state at the beginning of last season that the club had budgeted for two scenarios? One being where fans could return half way through the season and the other being that there would be no fans for the remainder of the season.

Really fail to understand Robins' logic behind this if it's true.
