DD is injured I think so not sure if he's going to be out for a while yet.

Jheez what is going on at chesterfield. Our youth keep going there and getting injured and they often seem to have lengthy issues in their squads.

Harris it looks like it's just not gonna happen for him as wed hoped. Maybe he'll get a permanent move somewhere lower down the league ladder.

That's £34m

Fine if large portion is in add-ons
Otherwise that's too big a risk imo. Like the player though

That's a lot of money just for a conversation. It would have to be seriously sparkling for that price-tag.

£35m to talk. Add £50m to go on a date with him. Add £100m for him to play for us.

If we have to pay that sort of price, would we be better served going for Strand-Larsen reportedly available circs £40k.
That is of course if we are taking things seriously.

Not for me, no.

35m for Pepi or 40m for Strand Larsen would be an absolute pants pulling. I really hope we don't do that.

Mitrovic was around 45-50m even accounting for the stupid inflated fees extracted from the Middle Eastern clubs.

I can see 30m with 5m add-ons being charged for pepi. Young scorers in champs league club scoring 1 in 2 generally. Ya pay a hefty premium when players show that form I'm Europe and are sub 23.

Mitro was 28/29
Sadly this is commonly the way of the world. Way to get em cheaper is to buy them when out of form or when they're that shade younger before they fully break through - like JKA. But then ya bit getting someone likely to immediately make an impact.

We already don't have quality depth in the midfield, selling our skipper now would be terrible especially as we'd probably only get £2m-£3m max from him.

I would imagine this is a non-starter for several reasons, firstly as you say depth, secondly he's the best tempo dictator we have and thirdly why would we sell our club captain mid-season when he's actively contributing to the teams success? Sure I can see it in the summer but definitely not now unless they offer him mega bucks and us north of £10m which clearly won't happen on both counts

Jheez what is going on at chesterfield. Our youth keep going there and getting injured and they often seem to have lengthy issues in their squads.

Harris it looks like it's just not gonna happen for him as wed hoped. Maybe he'll get a permanent move somewhere lower down the league ladder.

Didley dias was injured at Northampton and sent back he he then went out on loan to chesterfield and hurt his knee and sent back he has a contract till 2027 it's his third loan always injured infact he has been often injured for 18s and 21s was highly thought of,I would have thought by the surgeons.Tanton is 22 has played for chesterfield 1st half of season recently been sub quite athletic but light weight,clubs have accused chesterfield of having about 8 loans getting other clubs pay their wages and they chop and change maybe that's why we are taking him back.
