As far as I can see there is one tweet from a bloke with 195 followers. Doubt there's anything in it.

We do need to get rid of Chaplin but we could also loan them Ponticelli.

***Wait's for the tweet 'We have reluctantly accepted a £5 million joint bid from Salford for Chaplin and Bakayoko, but rejected the £1.5 million bid for Julian Gray.'***

If we could get anyone to pay over the odds it would be Salford. I certainly wouldn’t object

What's their existing record fee paid for a player?

Adam Rooney I think but haven’t got a clue how much he went for

Think he was a free transfer but they gave him big wages

It was an undisclosed fee, rumoured to be around 300k at the time.

Am I the only one who’s optimistic he’ll still come good? I think a pre-Season with us will do him the world of good.

Not ready to give up on him just yet

I hope so - his movement in the box is excellent. Whether we'll play a formation (and him in a position within that) to get the best of out him is another question.

Yes, I think Adam Rooney is on £4,000 a week at Salford. It was more the wages then the transfer fee that Salford's rivals were complaining about. I doubt Conor Chaplin is on £4,000 a week.

Hardly a history of paying over the odds on transfer fees

I feel the same, fans forget he’s very much a rookie and joined after a lot of unnecessary speculation coming into the successful shoes of Mark McNulty. Missed chances yes but then you have to be in position to miss them. I certainly wouldn’t flog him.

Even around November time in League 2 you’d have had the same comments about McNulty even though it was clear that he was quality at that level, I do sometimes wonder about some of our fans.

Chaplin does have the potential and he’s still young and not played a lot of first time football. If Robins can utilise him properly, I think he could still come good but there was way too much hype and expectation.

There were people on hear going on about how backing him to be top scorer in this league was like printing money!!

I agree. I trust MR and am sure he will come good next season.

Chaplin will never 'come good'. He's as good as he ever will be. He's 5'6" and 152lb, way too short and lightweight for a striker.
In my opnion, we'd be far better off developing Ponticelli. He'll be far better than Chaplin ever will be.

I don't see him fitting into our style of play so it looks like a strange signing for me maybe a luxury we could get rid of and utilise the money to better effect?

If they can afford to pay £4K a week for Adam Rooney they can fork out decent fees for players. I’d be shocked if they were anything less than hugely competitive in the market next season in League Two.

I haven’t seen a lot of Ponticelli and to be fair was injured a lot of last season and maybe he can be developed but so could Chaplin who imo fans should give a clean slate too as for being just 5ft 6in and lightweight Lionel Messi isn’t exactly a porker is he.

They could afford to pay his wage because they didn’t have to pay a fee. Agreed they will be competitive with wages, just don’t see this pot of gold extending to over the odds transfer fees

Too small...!?! Maradona, messi, Stirling etc etc all seem to do ok!

He’s young, missed pre-season and had an injury hit season.

Give the lad a chance!! McNulty and plenty before him took a bit of time to get going.

I'd like to see Chaplin alongside Max. Whilst often stumbling in front of goal, Max wins a lot in the air. Could be the making of Chappers.

Isn't this the club owned by a load of old Man U players. You would think they would know a decent player when they saw one (mind you, MR falls into that bracket!) - and have the money to finace it.
