You would assume so. If it is a premier league club McCallum and certainly his agent would be pushing a move
Wonder if there will be a second bid coming in today?
i am told its Norwich

I've been told nothing, so I will canvass opinions from the Facebook fan page... I am expecting something like:I was told it was Bournemouth
I'd be surprised if the bidding club doesn't make further bid(s)Wonder if there will be a second bid coming in today?
Window closes tomorrow I’m expecting to see things hot up usually there is a surprise in the jan windowI'd be surprised if the bidding club doesn't make further bid(s)
I don't think we're under pressure to sell
It will just be a case of whether an offer too big to refuse arrives before the deadline
I wonder what Sam McCallum will think is best for Sam McCallum? If he stays he will get get game time, more experience but a lot less money. If he goes he will get more money, that Range Rover Sport he's had his eye on, but probably be playing in the U23s in front a few old blokes on a Tuesday afternoon. I hope he sensisible.
I hope he's sensible too. When he gets his Range Rover Sport make sure it's in black.If he goes he will get more money, that Range Rover Sport he's had his eye on, but probably be playing in the U23s in front a few old blokes on a Tuesday afternoon. I hope he sensisible.
He left Herne Bay’s first team to go into our 23s didn’t he? So did the likes of Allasani, Bosma and Newton leave playing first team to play in our 23s.
Money talks I’m afraid I think he goes by end of tomorrowYes, he did, but he has had a taste of first team football now. He is developing. He is playing competitive football. Going back to U23s would surely be a backward step?

Whether it's Norwich or Bournemouth, there's a chance we'll be in the same league as either or both next season anyhow. That said, a decent pathway in a team likely to be doing well in the Champ next season could get him a bigger move the year after when older, stronger and more experienced (ala Maddison) so a chunky add on fee would be the best option (lower sale value with 25% not the usual 10% would be nice)
I agree, but if we can get % of £m in two seasons, then having sold Bayliss this season to plug the gap, surely they can see the benefit in what Wilson Maddison etc are going to be? Yes he could be a Gael or a Ben Stevenson, but only need one of them to come off to soak up all the others. I guess it depends if they think they'll still be here in a couple of years.The club has to negotiate the best fee for the club now which will be most of it upfront.
If you want a much bigger sell on fee than that means there’d be less upfront money and the club would be taking a huge gamble that the player first gets into their first team which is difficult as it is and then performs to a level bigger clubs want him. If it does happen would take about 2 or 3 years, possibly longer
If I was him a move to Norwich or Bournemouth would be a good choice. Good stable clubs with premier league income who like developing youth but with a strong possibility of being relegated and more potential to be in and around the first team next season.

I guess it depends if they rust in what the playing staff say and if Robins thinks what he has is special or not. We would certainly have benefitted more from Maddison or Wilson with a bigger sell on fee, but of course you're right it is a gamble.We don’t have this privilege unfortunately. We are a club who needs as much upfront money as possible
Upfront money is guaranteed. A sell on fee is not and is unlikely to ever happen. How many sell on fees have we actually benefited from in the last 15 years?
Bournemouth would not be a good choice, if they (hopefully) get relegated, they'll be back in League 1 within a few yearsIf I was him a move to Norwich or Bournemouth would be a good choice.

YepAs the weeks go on, im more and more confident that @better days is Robins lol
Apparently 3m from Norwich and loan back for the season.
Is that the original bid or a new one?Apparently 3m from Norwich and loan back for the season.
They’re quoting sources from Norwich when there’s nothing from their end, not even a mention of his name

This could be rightCoventry considering improved Norwich bid for teenage ace
It’s one of their exclusives
What’s odd about this though is that I would presume it’s come from a journalist connected to Norwich but they’ve not actually reported the story themselves?

Do you honestly think if this goes through Robins might be able to get someone in if he wants?This could be right
Norwich has close association with us
