Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (63 Viewers)

Someone has to want him, though.

He strikes me as someone who no longer enjoys football but is stuck in this career for a few more years.

He definitely has that hound dog look about him

I don't see Collins as a problematic player , I think if a League 1 side came in for him he would join them terms permitting

That's the issue tho. Nowhere else does he get the contract he is on here. He can sit out his final year Simon Moore style

I'm sure he no longer enjoys it here, a move could change that.

we might as well find a taker and pay him off then

He still has to agree to the pay off tho

Doubt it'd be £6m.

What about if its £6m in total with performance bonuses etc.
could well be £2m now, £4m on promotion or something, that would make it a £6m bid, but not an initial £6m outlay.

I don't know but I wouldn't think he's a big earner , his fee was fairly nominal

For L1 teams his wage will probably be more than they'd offer realistically. Clubs lower down the English pyramid generally don't like to invest into a GK. That will almost certainly extend to wages.

This is a crazy assumption to me - if he wanted to duck out of the game entirely then he could do it very easily, plenty of players do. Say what you will about his string of errors, I don’t think you ever could accuse Collins of hiding.

I didn't accuse him of hiding. I just said he strikes me as someone who no longer enjoys playing football.
There have been footballers before who admitted after retiring that they got no enjoyment out of it but had no idea what else to do with their lives.

Based on what? Looking upset after he makes a mistake?

He looks upset before he makes a mistake

He looks scared shitless before a ball's even been kicked

His general demeanor.

His general demeanor.

Joe Edwards is on the record as saying he’s a strong character who dealt well with coming back into the side and making mistakes.

Hasn’t he got his 2 best mates with him in Thomas & Kitching?
