"£2.5 million rated Andoh"

[Johno]

You have a gem their norman don't sell on the cheap, these premier clubs have money to burn

[werstayinup]

When l bought the boy to the Club there were 2 motives

1 cover for Marshal and 2 hopefully to make some money

As you may recall Rob would not play him last season so no real exposure

So you can read it here before copy and paste print it,no approach been made to the Club,l suspect he will be sold in Jan to whom and for how much we will have to wait and see

 

He has no interest in signing any new deal then?

[werstayinup]

Why would anyone buy him when they could wait six months and have him for free?

 

They would still have to pay compensation but how much no idea

[cheshirevaliant]

Presumably the reason Page didn't play someone who was signed as cover for Marshall was because Marshall didn't miss many, if any, games? A big test of Smurthwaite's ambition looms then, assuming what he says is true.

[CAVALIER]

Typical little old Port Vale. £5m at least

[SMURF]

Shouldnt we be talking to him about a contract?

 

We should be doing lots of things

[SMURF]

He has no interest in signing any new deal then?

I am sure he would

l do not understand your point

[bycars rob]

A decent prospect but surely not going to command a big fee at the moment is he?

[mr.hobblesworth]

I am sure he would

 

So are we offering him one? What about Alnwick?

Why would l want to increase even more my contribution

Jak who l also bought to Club along with JJ is under contract to Xmas as cover for Neal

[cheshirevaliant]

l do not understand your point

 

Which point? The first one re.Marshall I would suggest is self explanatory. The second point regards if Andoh is sold in Jan, will he be sold for the first offer, as we have been used to for many years? Personally, for what my opinion is worth, I think £2.5m is ridiculous but I will be sad if we don't get a good fee if PL and Championship clubs are after him.

[mr.hobblesworth]

Because the other option is to let the player go for a relative pittance.

For me both Alnwick and Andoh could be worth a lot of money in the future,would that not be worth the increased contribution??

[mr.hobblesworth]

I read Norman's comment re. Page not playing Andoh as a bit of a dig at the manager. Might well be wrong though, it's often hard to tell intent from texts and forum messages.
