That’s a Mel Morris signing. 1) We won’t have anywhere near £2 million and even if we sell Cashin (I hope we don’t), I’d be surprised if we reinvest more than one million. 2) He would probably have zero resale value. Even with two good years, he then leaves on a free. 3) We could do more by asking the EFL to remove this 2-year contract length. That hurts us more than anything. If we are going to spend money - then get 2 or 3 x 500k players in the 22-26 category. Hungry, can improve, can increase their value etc. There’s no restriction on contract lengths. I’m guessing we haven’t offered longer contracts to some due to age or question marks on fitness. Plus they’ve all been free so far so contract length isn’t as important. I’d imagine we’d offer Clarke Harris 3 years if we spent money on him. He’s rarely injured as far as I know? He’s got a good 3-5 years left at league one/champ level Nobody knows the fee either. We’ve done some good innovative deals this transfer window. Who’s to say that won’t continue 🤷♂️ archram, Premier ram, Jimbo Ram and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbobram Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 For 3m would we not be better going for the likes of Sam Nombe over JCH. Younger, more potential and just as dangerous. I dont see the point in singing JCH if hes going for any more than 1m because its money lost at the end therealhantsram, JustOneBiblicalKazim and S8TY 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walkley Ram Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) A fee of 2 million is nothing like the fees of 8-10m we were paying under Morris. We'd pay 2 million over say 2 seasons. To pay for that, we need to sell 33k tickets, for 2 seasons. It's not an insignificant fee for league one, but for us it's peanuts. The killer would be wages. 8k a week would be about 832k over 2 years. Again, paid for by selling about 20k tickets a year. We could pay for CH in a total of 4 games. Assuming no incoming fees from say Cashin are used. It's really not spending money we don't have, but it might be outside our budget, which I'd understand. 29 minutes ago, Ambitious said: One of the biggest frustrations with fans was spending good money on players with little to no resale value so I am surprised in the clamour for Clarke Harris. If we are going to spend a decent fee (£1m plus) on anyone then my hope would be a player in their early 20s not one who is nearly 30.

SK47 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Nombe to Rotherham hurts me I can't lie. I've been raving about signing him since pre season and to think we would rather put our effort in another player on the wrong side of 30 rather than go for someone who you could sell down the line and potentially make money on him or at the very least break even, makes no sense. Rotherham.. ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Trav Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Nothing to add to be honest, expect 1 definitely potentially 2 more bodies in. In the 22-28 range. If Cash goes we’ll 100% get a replacement as he’ll have championship offers JustOneBiblicalKazim, jimbobram and BuckoBeast 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue he might get us up, but heavy spending with that same logic is what's got us here in the first place. There is no plausible situation in which a League 1 club should be spending heavily on a player they have no realistic chance of getting any return on. Agree, why pay large amounts of money for someone we can’t sell when we actually have a fair few forwards not getting game time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 If we sell Cashin we immediately have to go out and buy a centre half or pay to loan one who has to play every week even if they are rubbish no doubt( assuming there aren’t any free ones lying around at this point) we have no guarantees that Forsyth can last the season and Bradley could only manage 16 games last season as well as looking dreadful when he has been selected - we certainly don’t need yet another right wing back who won’t get selected to play RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
