I have never seen Moncur play, so maybe he is a superstar in the making, but $750k seems a high price for a player with one good season in League 1, being signed from a team in League 2.
True, he does core goals at League 1 level, but so did Jonny Jackson and he was free. Nicky Bailey I think was about that price, but we were in the championship when we signed him and still getting parachute money (I think).
I'm as desperate for some good news as any one else, but I can understand the club politely declining at that price.

Parachute money, who from?
The Premier League, presumably. We managed to fall so fast we were relegated out of the Championship whilst still getting recompensed from the FIRST relegation... if memory serves.
I didn't realise that Ajose had scored so many last season. Up until then he had been average but I didn't realise he's only just turned 24 and so is probably coming into his prime.
On balance, 500-750k would probably be worth it. Sounds like BWP2.
£500k for a young player who is sought after and clearly a talent isn't a lot if you build your team around him. Let's not pretend we don't want him, because someone will pay it.
Can't believe he is only 24, seems to have been around forever. Has already played for 9 different clubs and from what I remember of him, he wasn't very good.
To be fair though, the above compilation looks pretty good, so he must have had a very good season. Not sure I'd want us to pay over the odds for him though!
So we'd be happy to sign a one season L1 striker for £750k but ok with letting a full international go for £1m, when he looked to be heading for a similar strike rate at a higher level. Weird!!!

Some decent finishes in there. As always, it doesn't tell the story of his link up play, but looks sharp in the penalty area.
Incidentally I watched the suggested video that came afterwards - goals, assist and skills from Jon Obika last season. Some very nice stuff in there, looks to have been playing out wide mostly for them.
Braking news, Ajose joining for anywhere but Charlton shocker.
Fortunately we will later know that Slade wasn't interestedly our resident fly on the wall will confirm shortly after it is announced he is going elsewhere.
To further back up my statement of us struggling and people denying it/questioning it. Seems we've had a couple bids (at a minimum, one) for Ricky Holmes declined.. That'll be him off to Sheffield United.
Poor old Slade, already be growing tired in his new job.

Not really, one person on here said we are after him and a few others guessed he'd cost about £750k.
Who's confirmed we'll be selling a player for £1m?

I heard down the Valley caff that reduced season ticket sales have really bitten deep and any incomings will be either frees or out of contracts.
Shame that. No doubt it will be the fans fault if e have a shit season
not sure that's 100% true the last figure I heard few weeks back now was 5,487 was sold. Compared to same time last season the club was happy with early sales
With your contacts in the ticket office, can you tell us why Mandy departed ?

Such certainty is enviable. Riddled as I am with doubt about our ability attract player in a head to head bid.
I take comfort in knowing that my concerns are groundless and it is only because I am not on the inside that I feel this way.
When does Saddam Hussain have his breakfast?
When Tariq Holmes-Dennis
Decent frontline of "Novak n Goode"
Boom boom!
If so, he sounds pretty good, if not stellar, I hope he keeps moving on but with Charlton.
Be nice to have at least one name on the team sheet for next year.
Mixed scoring record but perhaps League One is his level and he was never a regular with Birmingham, 42 league starts mainly over two seasons.
Season - Goals (including cup) - Division
15/16 - 15 - League One
