The crazy thing is that even if it's £1.3m it would have meant that in the last 12 months we've sold 3 of our 4 League One defenders/back four for upward of £10m combined!
Best of luck - having any form of security over the next few years would be beneficial, whichever way we come out of this.
Aber gas, you changed plans as a result of the decision?
I've got a massive mortgage, we'll lileky take a bit of a hit on house prices and also the cost of borrowing will rise. We've got savings so we'll be ok.
Work wise, the market I focus on will likely take a massive hit. I'm going to sit down with my colleague on Monday to discuss a repositioning...
Pretty despondent over the result. Personally think that our economy is going to be the victim at the centre of a global economic gangbang for the next few years whilst things are being ironed out. I have no belief that the EU won't come down hard on us during negotiations to dissuade other...
He's a good 'un. Brilliant shot stopper, best distribution in the division and a decent guy. Not great in the air though. If rumours are true in that we're likely to sign Bentley, I would have preferred the two of them to duke it out, but happy to let Button leave if he frees up a bit more wage...
It undoubtedly is, but everyone needed to jump on Warburton's departure by throwing a load of stats accusations around. That said, certain players that have made us an awful lot of money were signed after our research indicated they'd be a hit - the signing of Andre Gray only happened once our...
As much as we've always done. It's been massively overstated, overplayed and scoffed at by various parts of the football world. We use it alongside traditional scouting methods, but we lean on it more than most simply because we can't afford to throw as much money at scouting/recruitment as...
We've apparently signed up 3 or 4, to be announced when contracts expire on 30th June. Lots of talk surrounding Egan, Sawyers and Bentley, so hopefully it'll be those three plus a couple of surprise signings later on in the transfer window.
If those three come in, I can see us going for a...
Apologies, I took my info from the transfer markt website. My initial point - highlighting how daft your transfer policy is - still stands though, if that's the extent of the fees generated through player sales.
Aaron Pierre is a decent centre back and we might get a sell on fee. Whether he's ready for the Championship would be the question, but if you're seeking strong L2 affordable players with the potential to develop above L1 level, then I reckon you're looking at the right type of player there.
When was the last time Rotherham acquired a player and then actually made a profit when selling them on? I see, according to Transfer Markt, that you made £20k on Revell over a two year period... that's been it over the past two years.
In fact, I'd say the Rotherham transfer policy is rubbish...
Just be sure to give them time to settle in this division before expecting too much. Due to injuries last season we were forced to start a number of our European imports far earlier than we'd have liked, and they were largely quite far off the pace. Took a while for them to collectively adjust.
Wasn't Bjelland £2.1m? I thought it was quoted as 3m EUR at the time. Either way, a perfect example of our most recent season - Danish centre back, FC Twente captain, one of, if not the, highest % tackles in the Eredivisie... out for the season a few minutes into his debut!
True - I suppose it'll come down to how hard either side pushes and the role Henry would play in all of it. Recently we've had a huge success for ourselves, and for players' previous clubs, in securing significant transfer fees. For instance, we signed Andre Gray from Luton Town for £600,000 but...
It's strange. Odubajo was a class act at 19 years of age. He was fast, a goal threat, English, went on to represent England U20's, came all the way through Orient's youth system, was a key player in their first team (with twice the amount of appearances), they didn't need to sell. Why would they...
Price only genuinely become inflated when there's more than one suitor. of course, Walsall don't have to sell to anyone unless they feel they've hit the spot in terms of transfer value, but at the same time a lot of it comes down to how much the player wants out - as we found out with Tarkowski...
Generally pretty happy with him. He was dealt a crap hand when he joined and had a few players desperately wanting out/impacting team morale. We then lost all semblance of a team and it was a horrible run - I think it was W1, D1 and L10 at one point. That said, the nature of how we/he turned it...
A permanent replacement for him or another loanee? With Hogan, Vibe and Hofmann still with the club, it could be a costly burden to sign a permanent striker as that would me 4 contracted players vying for just one position. I suppose it depends on fitness/injuries as well as how limiting our...
