JCH would be a brilliant signing for any team at this level, I agree it would take us from a top 6 to a top 2 team. I also think it would purely be based on Cashin going. I'd have preferred nombe with him being younger but he is going to Rotherham & its not like JCH is over the hill. Plus i think Collins would go too
The money we get for Cashin wouldnt be all up front, but neither would the money on JCH. Say for example we paid 500k upfront for JCH with 2 installments of 250k on a 3 year deal that isn't bad imo. We may get 1.5m upfront for Cashin with 1.5m on installments - we would be 1m up on budget then

I think the reason we've not been in for Nombe, JCH or any one that is costing north of £1 million is cos we don't have the funds now.
The only way it's even possible is if we get the £3 million we want for Cashin.
I'm not sure how much Peterborough are wanting for Clarke-Harris but I can't see it being more than 1-1.5 million if Bristol Rovers are in for him.
I'd be ok with that. His goalscoring record at this level is as good as it gets really. Put him in this team instead of Collins and I think that turns us from a top 6 side to a top 2 side.
I wouldn't be surprised if Collins goes. He didn't play much last season and he only started this season because we have nobody else. As soon as Waghorn and Washington were fit he's straight out the team.

You know as well as I do that there are 2 parties to a contract.
If Cashin & Bird are unwilling to extend their contracts whilst we're a L1 club then there's not a lot the club can do at this stage other than to sell for a decent fee, or keep and hope that we get promoted this season, or hope to receive adequate compensation in the summer.
Thompson & Sibley should be easier extentions to do, and you'd hope that negotiations have already begun.

Can’t build a team round a player who can walk away for free next summer. I think a few fans need a reality check that at the minute we are miles away from being a team who can retain its best players. We’re a division 3 team and there’s 44 clubs in leagues above us who can tempt our players away with the promise of a higher level of football and more money. 

I agree, but for a short while I think we are going to have to be beggars. In two or three years hopefully we might reach chooser status again.

Unfortunately I can see him going. I think BHA will ultimately offer £3m at some stage in the next day or so, and Clowes will surely have to take it. There will be no loan back either (no advantage to BHA). If it happens the best we can hope for is that Warne and his team have a decent replacement in mind (lined up).

Sonny Bradley will do OK for us. Some players take longer to settle than others

At least he isnt going to a League rival

I would imagine it would be Cashin & Collins who would be offloaded. Money then used to bring in JCH & probably a centre backs.
Personally would prefer we went for Nombe over JCH, probably slightly cheaper & younger.

I don’t think he’d cost anywhere near that, given not long on his contract (I believe) and transfer listed. 
 
£3m for Cashin, Cashin back on loan and JCH for £1.5m I’d absolutely take. Could maybe get him for cheaper with a promotion clause. 

Cashin will be gone for free if we don’t go up this year, people seem to forget. 

It was really important not to allow Peterborough any momentum for an unlikely comeback. I remember how Mings having lengthy treatment squashed any chance of us equalizing in the Villa playoff final. Wildsmith's game management is a massive bonus for us. I understand many "purists" on here will disagree, but I admire his professionalism. I don't want us to be plucky losers. 

I would love JCH here. 
Didn't really appreciate how good his hold up play was until watching him yesterday. Thought he was a right handful. Bought others into play really well.
The only way I could see this is if we sold Cashin for the £3 million we want. Then we'd probably have the funds. 
I'm not sure how much they want for him. But he's in the final year and I've seen that Bristol Rovers are one of the teams in for him so I can't see it being mega money?
Ideally if we sold Cashin we'd get him back on loan so we don't have to bring in a centre back. 
I was in the pub before the Peterborough game yesterday and someone in there said that he's heard the main hold up with him moving to Brighton is that Brighton do not want to loan him back to us. Obviously that could be b******s 
We could potentially be in for an interesting week.
Also I saw Warne at the cricket earlier. Such a nice bloke. Speaks to you like he's one of your mates. I said to him how well JCH did yesterday. He just kept saying "I want more pace" 🤣

Not from my usual source so take this with a pinch of salt but this lad is clued up in the agency world and apparently we're one of the clubs wanting JCH and are prepared to offload a few to get him. One to watch either this summer or in January. 

I like Cashin,despite his shortcomings,and he's one of our Academy successes but anyone who thinks his value will ever be in excess of £10m needs a bit of a reality check.It's the same with Knight and Bird.We build them up,over inflate their potential sale price then moan when we sell them to someone we consider not good enough.

After the first 20mins that was our best performance in a while, the most dangerous I have seen us look on the counter for a while.
2 wins from 2 away from home, a Waggy hattrick, goal from a set piece, a win away from home against a top team and also a win away from a losing position.
Brilliant performance from Waggy & Thompson. Nelson looking decent, NML did well & after Warne's tactical switch in midfield Smith looked good at holding mid.

Warne saying that hopefully we can help him with the injuries and hopefully we can convince him his long term future is at our club

It is a back 4, not a back 3.

Great performance and result. It certainly came good today. My top 6 performances that deserve a mention. 
1. Waghorn
2. Thompson
3. Nelson
4. Cashin
5. Mendez Laing
6. The fans
👏👏👏👏👏

This is why I never write off a potential signing. Stats don't tell you the full picture, confidence, positioning, tactics, luck so many different factors to it, sometimes a player just gels at a certain time and club.

Watching Waggy making time to speak with both of the new lads when he could have been milking the crowd reaction says everything you need to know about his position in the squad. What a man!
