I’d be disappointed to get less than £2M for him, but we seem to be letting players go for less than their value this summer so who knows. Like it or not, he was half decent in the PL by our standards.
Would probably want around £1M a year in wages too.
Nope, but our manager spent a lot of his career working under Gareth Ainsworth. Not that we saw the worst of the Wycombe tactics last season. (Maybe that will change?)

Some trends I've spotted - Bloomfield has often mentioned "leadership" in his quotes. From what I've seen, all the signings we've made so far (maybe with the exception of Richards because he's only 17) would be potential captain picks.
I think this will go a long way. Like it or not, our squad...
A few Luton snippets...
Lucas Bergstrom is at Luton's training camp in Slovenia. He is a 6ft9in(!) goalkeeper, recently released by Chelsea. Wasn't out on loan last season; technically he was an UEFA Conference League winner, but never played for the club.
Nigel Lonwijk is also being linked -...
Lewis O'Brien to Wrexham for £5M. Ridiculous fee for someone who has played less than 100 times since he signed for Forest in 2022.
Sounds like the contract offer isn't great for him though and his below his current weekly wage.
Bloomfield has said that he believes he can have a first team impact sooner than later, but the midfield is heavily stacked.
He played in our first friendly yesterday and was involved in the build up to the first goal. Other than that, no outstanding moments.
I think it would be aggressive to think you'll get anywhere near £1.5M if it goes to a tribunal.
I would say around £400,000? He's only 17, he's never played above L1.
Grand total of £0 profit in 6 months of putting him in the shop window. The fee may rise with achievements to £5m.
I still find this terrible business. Wigan get nothing (yet) either.
I think I need to update the worst case scenario list after the last week of events...
-Mark McGuinness: should in my opinion, be the new captain. Can definitely do a job for a top 10 Championship side. It would need to be a monster offer for us to sell, because we've probably already invested...
Luton are trying to sign Jamal Lewis as a replacement for Alfie Doughty.
Lewis has recently left Newcastle after his 5-year contract expired. He terminated his season long loan in Brazil early in November due to injury.
Would be surprised to see him come down to the third tier, yet both our...
