In fairness we've normally entered the month of July before we hear of any signings, so it's going to be a long 6 or so weeks yet I'd imagine.

He could do a damn sight better than Huddersfield. Mind you, he scored a great goal against them the season before last, his recent performances have no doubt reignited that memory.

Doesn't surprise me that Robins is watching him, given the obvious Coventry connection. Come back £1m and you can have him. It'd be nice to be informed if a new contract offer is on the plate for him and the likelyhood of him accepting that contract. If he puts another couple of years on a contract extension then I'd want a lot more or for him to stay for at least another season, if it's going to come down him leaving at the end of next season for a compensation fee, I'd accept £750k upwards.

I think we have to accept that IF there has already been a bid,then it's more than likely that he will leave, after all money talks very loud at Walsall.
The contentious issue is how much he goes for. As the report says, he's one of the best players outside the top two divisions, therefore the starting price has to be at least a million, no matter how long his contract has to run.
If he goes for that price I can't see many people being against it, as long as Smith is given some of it.
Sold for under a million and Bonser trousers it all.......well it might start all the problems again.

Woah, busy summer ahead of Pato's sold and Brandy/Grigg move on. With George already gone that means we'll be doing a full restructure of our attacking line.

Croft is terrible - slow, over-weight, over-paid and not rated by Derby at all. In fairness, he played well in the cup games (like lofty Matt Smith) but neither showed any league form.

It would be a major backward step to get journeymen players like this.

Paterson's easily worth few million. He'll play for England one day - you heard it here first.

I'm not sure why people think letting Bowerman go will come back and haunt us. He has been terrible for 8 months now. We need to be aiming higher.

This.

I like him but lets not get carried away. Over the next ten years or so there will be Ince, Zaha, Sterling, Redmond, McManaman comng into those attacking roles for England, not to mention the established guard of Walcott, Lennon etc.

Plus, physically, Paterson's nowhere near the same league as them. The majority of international footballers these days are big buggers. Paterson ay.

That's why they've fetched several million. Based on other fees for similar players, a million is market rate.

Zaha was 15 million. He's not 15 times the player Paterson is.

Face facts people the transfer market has been inflated for many years, on current prices Paterson is worth about a million pound. To say he's worth less is doing the club a disservice. Look at the price on average championship attacking players move around for nowadays, it aye cheap. Plus you have to factor in the cost of paying for potential, at only 21 he can develop further, so you add that to any potential transfer fee for him.

Probably right, especially young English players.

I notice that Lee Camp has been released by Norwich. Not sure if we will be able to meet his wage demands but always looked a good keeper every time i have seen him. Surely worth a phone call at least?
