It's his mrs who lives in Bristol and which is why he wants to move down there (apparently). They have 50 page thread about him - small-time compared to our 500 page one about George Thorne! Well the missus usually wins! therealhantsram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcfcjj Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) Just really can’t see us getting him. Rovers have the money, we don’t. Selling Collins wouldnt make up enough funds surely. Edited August 31, 2023 by dcfcjj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaltRam Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Bristol Rovers or Derby County? If we're in and we have the budget, he's coming here. If BT says we're in, surely we have the budget? Ergo...he'll be at Moor Farm tomorrow. Flawless logic. Consider the mic dropped. Ted McMinn Football Genius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling Collins wouldnt make up enough funds surely. I don't think we could sell Collins, to be honest. We picked him up on a free because we could pick up his contract, presumably one with quite a healthy salary. The only way Collins moves on is on a free - Shrewsbury may even need us to pick up some of his contact for them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Buxton's Bat Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Not read all of this thread - but I think Bristol Rovers may have a sell-on clause which essentially means they can buy him at a discounted price. Thought he looked very, very decent on Saturday but he's a big unit - much bigger then a few years ago........I'd be worried about mobility in a couple of years but would take his goals this year to take us up. In Big Trav we trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Big Trav we trust. Bristol fans have been saying stuff like that. I’ve read they have a sell on clause so will get him cheaper and also read some Bristol fans saying they’re still owed money for him from posh so they can get him cheaper.

Ram@Lincoln Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 The biggest thing for me here, regardless if we or Bristol sign him, this significantly weakens an fellow promotion contender. Whatever happens it's a win for us, double win if we get him for a reasonable price. As already said, he's 6 years junior to McGoldrick, Kane just moved for £100m at a similar age. Looking at us, we paid multi millions for an older Jerome and Nugent. Someone out there will drop good money on a striker in their early 30s if they want them.

Carnero Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 He's not exactly the type of high energy, high pressing forward that Warne seems favour, but you can't argue with his goals record at this level can you. I'm not as against spending ~£1m on a 29-year old as some people seem to be, as long as it's for the right player. The aim of the game is promotion after all and it's not like we've been paying transfer fees for any other 29+ year olds so I really don't see the comparison to our former ownership regime. I don't see this happening, but at least it's going to potentially provide some "deadline day drama" for everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Clough Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 1 hour ago, SSD said: Buying older players at silly prices with no resale value.... Let's say the figure is £1m. Half of that could be promotion based with the rest being made up of appearance and goal add-ons. Would that be too bad?

If he scored 26 and McGoldrick 24 in the division last season it tells me that a well balanced team is more likely what is needed to get out of the league. How many league goals did Plymouth’s top scorer get? sage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
