I know I’m being mardy but where is he?? I want my new signing now! To be fair, the new player is probably with the rest of the lads for training today but won’t be announced until later. Go to your room immediately young man! 😉 Taribo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacing him would cost us more than the 500k we'd get, so that'd be pointless. MackworthRamIsGod and DE56Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, NML's age would likely restrict any fee we'd get for him, even under contract, so we'd do well to get half a mill for him. That being said, we'd spend that again replacing him, probably that and then some. If we were looking to move anyone on to raise funds then I'd say probably Cash (because he'd raise the most), or Thompson (because it would be pure profit and we'd already have cover).

Caerphilly Ram Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 34 minutes ago, MackworthRamIsGod said: I do think we will be fine defensively, midfield is shaping up nicely too. We could just do with a Mitrovic and Knockheart type (in their prime of course). Someone up front who can stick his foot on it and hold it up and knows where the net is and a Championship quality match winner. Get them and I think we look alright. Finding them is where Mark Thomas earns his wage and my respect. I’m leaning into the realms of fantasy a little here but how good would it be if we discovered one of those “championship cheat codes”?! Like those two you mentioned or one of the many others that have existed through the years, our own version of that player who flourishes in the champ and takes the league by storm…maybe it’ll be Kenzo 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he did mate - definitely wants a big No.9 for the wingers/10s to play off. Have said before but it will be a Michael Smith type player. dcfcreece1601 and jimtastic56 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure speculation but Ipswich being long term admirers there could be a deal on the table for Cashin that's a wedge + Baggot in exchange? We've agreed in principle and said let us do some business elsewhere first so not to inflate any fees when other clubs realise we've got a chunk of money to spend. Cashin is a cracking player but if his sale meant 3 good champ players coming in to balance the squad then so be it.

With Cash, I'd love to keep him this year for stability and then hopefully take a great offer for him. I might be in the minority, but I just don't see a premier league player there. And I don't mean because that's where we're going, I just mean that the great money might stop being offered, then we end up with a situation we've seen too many times with our Academy lads. jimtastic56 and Crewton 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A solid Championship season behind him would only increase his value I think. He'd have a year less on his contract but he's only just signed a new one so we'd still get a hefty fee if we decided to £££ in next summer. He's very much a player that's still developing, otherwise we'd be seeing teams battering our doors down with £10m+ offers. How much he can develop and improve going forward....who knows? I think he'd be solid in the Champ but if he went to a Prem team this summer then I'd put money on him being loaned back out to the Champ for at least another year anyway. Kind of all depends on what offers would be there for him now and whether we actually want the money now. We may have enough already for what we need.

A LWB and a pacey centre back. That would make it a very good transfer window in my eyes Some target men I’d look at Lyden Dykes - fee Ross Stewart - loan Lawrence Shankland- fee Alexander Lind- fee Joe Taylor I think he’s called - Luton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
