Agreed, to me he’s shown less than Shorrock. Looked good against the under 23 sides but in the league to me it seems he needs to much time and is a little off the pace. Not sure what kind of fee we would get given that we have offered a contract. Personally don’t see the benefit of him going there to sit in the u23 side

I might be wrong here but I think its just a standard compensation fee whatever that is

Slightly off topic - Peterborough could net £30m due to a 30% sell-on clause if Ivan Toney moves for the £100m touted. Wow!

It just shows the value of inserting a sell-on clause when you sell a player with potential.

 

They do some superb stuff like that Rob which allows them to pay half decent fees for good young national league or Premier Academy players,then they sell them on like with Toney and again this is the thing we want to do,we just need that big sell on kind of player to start the ball rolling where we can pay half decent fees... I will be amazed if we dont have a sell on with the Man City winger and the lad that went Villa but doubt it will be 30%

Watching a bit of Aldershot and I would quite happily ask them how much they want for Tolaj and Stokes. We couldn't afford it, like.

I am sure that i read somewhere that Oxford were close to agreeing a 500k fee for Stokes? it does sound a lot though

Only thing that makes me wonder with Ndala if we do or not is I'm guessing Smurthwaite was owning the club at that time he joined them and I wouldn't put it past him not to have had one inserted. Fingers crossed we did as that could be club altering.

IF Ian Foster becomes Plymouth manager could he look to bring in Arblaster(I know he has gone back now anyway) and Devine to replace Azaz? naturally the Championship is the next step up for both players

He was a money grabber so i would be more certain that he did

There is but I believe that applies at the end of a contract, which is in the summer.  If they sign him during this window we would have to agree a fee. Stoke would still have all the bargaining power as if we push too hard they just wait 6 months.

Ah yes that sounds plausible and hopefully we would ask for a sell on clause in there as well

That good be bad news.

I have read that Plymouth midfielder Cundle (21 years old) is being recalled by Wolves so that he can join Stoke for £2 million.

Thats midfielders that the England u20 manager is going to need replacing at Plymouth pretty damn quick

Clearly going for the coin,if he believes in himself then stay vale for a couple of years then move on to even better

Being swayed by believing he is better than he currently is
