Well, they may all be saying that about him, but he's clearly not listening.

Perfect move for him given he still lives down there.

One year left on his contract. Don't think he will take a pay cut to play. Why would he? If MR thinks he should move on, we may have to subsidise a move.

There is an expectation from certain clubs that Godden is available for free

He will be free if theres not more than 1 club after him. If theres multiple clubs then we can haggle for a small fee

Surely we could just terminate his contract of he wants the move, we wouldn't get alot for Godden anyway.

I think he’s worth 500k+ still. Certainly wouldn’t be giving him away

would you pay £500k for a 30+ player?

regardless, some of the chasing clubs don’t have £500k

If they have someone we want however, it’s a very useful part exchange to offer.

The problem with part exchanges is that other clubs don’t want our cast offs.

Having said that, Godden might fancy a move back to Posh but somehow, I think they would prefer a cash deal

He’d still score plenty in League 1.

One of the fun transfer rumours from Portugal is that Sporting are interested in 2 x player part exchange deal for Gyokeres, allegedly offered by Chelsea

I reckon he can score 20+ in league one. That’s worth £500k. He’s never relied on pace so if he stays fit he should have a good 3 years around that level

Mentioned before that Peterborough would be a good fit and as BSB mentioned, no reason he couldn’t be used as a part ex if they’re interested

I really doubt they’ll be that stupid. If they are, we should offer them Josh McQuoid and Mohamed Coulibaly before we give them Godden.

Once went to one of those supporter clubs evenings in which Godden was interviewed and from what he said, even if Peterborough were interested he would have no desire to go back - Didn't really like it there

Wouldn't that be typical - our sell on clause would be useless if Sporting got a smaller amount and two Chelsea rejects

Hopefully they wouldn't be silly enough to accept a small amount and two players who can't break into a mid table side when they could hold out for the money and get it

I didn’t realise that. Just putting 2 and 2 together….and maybe getting 5

I tend to agree that it won’t happen.

but it’s a warning enough for those who are already mentally spending £12 million which the club hasn’t received and might not ever get

Tbf you wouldn't unless you were there - he said something along the lines of "If you sign for Peterborough I wouldn't bother moving your family there and buying a house as the chances are you wouldn't be there for long" - Steve Evans was his manager there and he couldn't stand him and didn't seem too keen on Barry Fry either - Basically said it is a bit of a circus but for whatever reason, it just seems to suit them

Not the sort of signing Peterborough make anyway, they'll sign a youngster from a prem academy or non league and try to develop them

Chelsea - you can have Gallagher and Jackson, who we value at £20m total We'll offer you £25m for Gyokeres. Coventry can have 15% of £5m profit

I doubt they're going to want to pay the players anything like what Chelsea so it feels like a non-starter all round.

My understanding is that I players offered in a part exchange have a value for transfer purposes so it shouldn’t circumvent paying us what is owed.

Not necessarily true. It depends on what the contract says. Normally, a part exchange deal does circumvent pay on clauses, which is why some clubs opt for it. To avoid making more payments

Hence ‘part’ exchange, ie player plus cash.

Yes, I know - they will just want the cash.

It’s the same reason you’d rather have a £20 note instead of £15 and a £5 Tesco voucher (I’m more of a Waitrose man, personally)

As poor as Godden has been lately, he will score regularly at a lower level,
The X player thread will be busy.
