Carnero Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Can't believe Forest paid £27m just to get their 2 loanees back from Lincoln. Mark Thomas is a genius. IlsonDerby, Hans Datdo-Dishes and Ghost of Clough 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting when he talked about Didzy saying (paraphrase) how he was surprised by how hard he works. Would he have signed him based on prior knowledge rather than experience?

He was sold to Leeds United for £6.5 million in 2018. Alex Gilbey (£100,000 from Stevenage): Gilbey made 103 appearances for Oxford United, scoring 14 goals. He was sold to Charlton Athletic for £1.5 million in 2018. James Henry (free transfer from Coventry City): Henry made 128 appearances for Oxford United, scoring 28 goals. He was sold to Bristol City for £1 million in 2018. Ryan Ledson (free transfer from Everton): Ledson made 103 appearances for Oxford United, scoring 10 goals. He was sold to Preston North End for £1.5 million in 2018. John Mousinho (free transfer from Nottingham Forest): Mousinho made 125 appearances for Oxford United, scoring 10 goals. He was sold to Burton Albion for £1 million in 2018. These are just a few of the many successful signings that Mark Thomas made during his time at Oxford United. He was a key figure in the club's rise to League One and their subsequent success in the division. Mark Thomas was the director of football at Lincoln City from 2018 to 2022. During his time at the club, he made a number of successful signings, including: Brennan Johnson (free transfer from Nottingham Forest): Johnson scored 41 goals in 136 appearances for Lincoln City, helping them to promotion to League One in 2020. He was sold to Nottingham Forest for £17 million in 2022. Jorge Grant (£100,000 from Charlton Athletic): Grant scored 21 goals in 101 appearances for Lincoln City, helping them to promotion to League One in 2020. He was sold to Nottingham Forest for £10 million in 2022. Liam Cullen (free transfer from Southampton): Cullen made 62 appearances for Lincoln City, scoring 10 goals. He was sold to Bristol City for £1.5 million in 2022. Tayo Edun (free transfer from Fulham): Edun made 84 appearances for Lincoln City, scoring 3 goals. He was sold to Millwall for £1 million in 2022. Alex Woolfenden (free transfer from Ipswich Town): Woolfenden made 82 appearances for Lincoln City, scoring 2 goals. He was sold to Ipswich Town for £1 million in 2022. These are just a few of the many successful signings that Mark Thomas made during his time at Lincoln City. He was a key figure in the club's rise to League One and their subsequent success in the division. These players were all signed for relatively low fees and went on to have a significant impact on their respective clubs. They were all key players in their teams' promotion to League One, and they all went on to be sold for significant profits. Mark Thomas has a proven track record of identifying and signing talented players. I'm glad that he's working on our plan for our summer recruitment. Signed Ollie Watkins from Exeter City. Watkins scored eleventy squillion goals in 132 games for Oxford before Aston Vanilla bought him for 330 millions squids. Honest!

Pure speculation on my part and I know it’s controversial as there’s an argument it doesn’t suit the current squad, square pegs in round holes and so on, but blooding those 3 youths as a unit might have a hidden purpose behind it. Or not. 🤷🏻♂️ Ramarena and Premier ram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerphilly Ram Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Just now, B4ev6is said: Actully mate He is out of contract at end of the season. But as he’s come through their youth academy and is under 24, IF Brighton offer him a contract on equal or greater terms to any we might offer then we’d have to pay a compensation fee for his developmental years.

He is, but unless I'm mistaken- as he's under 24 his parent club are entitled to compensation if they offer him a contract and he moves elsewhere.
