Likely that Chuks stays with us this season if we sign Nombe?

No one else is signing him.

We won't pay up the contract on the off chance that he gets fit enough for a few goals off the bench.

He'll stay and play about 3 games.

Chuks will be our 'Jason Euell' from Chris Powell's title winning season.

I don't know Nombe, but is he even worth 500k?

May was reportedly £250k - so maybe not, but Nombe has an age advantage.

Like all players, he’s worth whatever someone pays. If Holden wants him, I’ll support the signing. It’s not coming out of my pocket

Sounds like a deliberate leak from the Exeter side, perhaps they're hoping to spark a bidding war

Scoham

Worth remembering Cawley linked us with Edun on 20th June (said it was a priority) and it was done earlier this week. Shows deals can move quickly if it works for all parties.

The guy on their board "duke roll" has written "apparently" and approx £500k-700k. 30-35% goes to MK Dons. He referenced this as a Chunk and I did actually think I read Chuks! 

I'd be doubtful and say Dubai is most accurate here.

If we do get Nombe in and possibly another striker on loan, I wonder if we'll actually start to see a bit more of Chuks with the pressure on him to play reduced. It's not for anyone to diagnose strangers but Chuks has been injured so many times and has probably had so much physical pain that mentally he must be far more attuned to any tweaks he feels in his body. If we have a very competitive front two where May, Leaburn, Nombe and another are competing to get into the line-up I wonder if the mental burden will ease on Chuks a bit and he can get onto the bench a bit more, feel less like he's got to get out there and be an option to be thrown on at the end of games. The Chuks we know is probably the best player to bring on in the league and counter-intuitively we might actually see him more when we need him less and reap the benefits.

Depends who else is available too.

We tried for Smith on a free, we enquiries about Ladapo and it was a no.  If the other options start to run out, Exeter will know they can get a bit more for Nombe.

He’s got to get fully fit first. Currently injured and no proper pre season again. I’d say the omens are not good.

I'm not so sure, as your plan is built around hope. He injured himself in a warmup and then within 1 minute of coming on. You can hardly have any less load and expectation than that. Probably best to move this chat to the Aneke thread suppose.

I do wonder if we will try something completely different with Chuks now.  No point trying to get him 90 minutes fit, because it's not going to happen.

Can you get someone 20 minutes fit?

May was reportedly £250k - so maybe not, but Nombe has an age advantage.

Nombe being six years younger will also come into the equation. 

May unlikely to have any resale value in two or three years. If Nombe does well, he could be worth five times the fee Exeter are asking by the time he’s 26/27.

DH said deals would be announced through the proper channels .. if they don’t tell their own TV station ( Terry transfer) there not going to tell the local press first

Apart from the fact that Cawley has broke every single transfer of our window so far ~48 hour before they happen, you mean?

RonnieMoore said:

According to Reams 2 mins ago the deal is done 

He jumped on the bandwagon when everyone was saying it was done, said he'd heard it was done also, slagged off RC for being behind the news, and now realizing his mistake has backtracked and appears much more lukewarm on the progress. He's a remarkable guy, but apparently always right as he likes to mention on the odd occasion.

I heard Stuart Pearce on the wireless saying (about the premier league specifically) that in general one goal equates to one point over a season.
If your team scores 70 goals you’ll end up with around 70 points.
So with the prospect of Nombe and May, and a cautionary assumption that their scoring return might dip by 10%, that would be 35 goals between them less 10% which could mean they get us 32 points next season.
By my very crude and simplistic calculation even with Nombe and May playing we need another 60 goals from elsewhere in the team (according to the Stuart Pearce notion anyway) for automatic promotion.

Problem being Stuart Pearce is a twat.

Could be, but is he a wrong twat?

Exeter might though. Plymouth isn't that far, might be worth finding out what the Herald know.

I think one of the best itk sources we currently have is @Swisdom. If he’s hearing something then I get excited.

Think Taylor come out on Instagram first … think RC answer was he a player we are interested in ?

I do love Rich’s no nonsense replies sometimes

I remember Rich having a pop at me like that, when I said Danny Green had signed, he said it was nonsense, despite Danny being at the training ground having the photos done

There's not much of a better answer is there?  He's said as plainly as possible in the second message, people push back you leave them to it.

Personally I think our bid has been accepted. But the club aren't telling Dubai, Reams, Cawley, yet because it may encourage other clubs to come in and match the bid.

Apparently Nombe was at Exeter training today, so furthest we could be is at accepted bud stage. An Exeter fan reckons he's clearing out his stuff from the training ground, but probably on the wind up as how would he know, and would he do that before signing with us - unlikely.
