  • Not one for us... But Stanley Mills has joined Oxford on loan from Everton - Thats Danny's Son
     I thought he was a professional athlete?
    Thats his Brother... George Mills

    Surely there's no way a league one club who are allegedly struggling financially are going to get 1m for a player who has a year left on his contract and has possibly already told the club he wants to go.
    There’s still a month plus left of the window. They will have a decision to make by late August.

    Either the money they got from other outgoings is enough, or they compromise and we get a deal done.

    That’s the way I see it. Could be a deadline day situation…
    Quite possibly but it’s risky for us. We definitely need a striker and if it fails on deadline day it could leave us with just May and Miles. I think we’re already investigating alternatives to be honest.

    No signings for a day!!!!

    Crank up the takeover thread.
    No signings I'm today
    I wonder if he ever reads these lmao
  • If we really are in for him then I’m sure we will get him.Player power tends to kick in these situations and if he wants to go that may well force Exeter’s hand- I hope so

  • Right. Nothing to see here. Suspect Dean Holden was bang on by saying we’ll see some outs before we see more in’s. I suspect we’re in for a week or more of not much happening.,
  • Sorry if this has already been posted, but sounds like a deal is not imminent for Nombe. Obviously could still happen and would be a great signing.

    Hearing we after Alfie May as well!
    Actually, given the 8 hour time difference, I posted this just in time thank you!

  • Never heard of Terry Taylor until an hour ago. Now I'm convinced he is the new Josh Cullen 
    Much taller.

    Also, I thought that about Gavin Killkenny. 
  • That was a rollercoaster of 7 pages, having not checked all day.

    Nombe…maybe, yes, yeS, yES, YESSSSS

    ….no 
  • Maybe another club has contacted Exeter with a counter offer?

    Despite being strongly linked with a move away from St James Park, it is believed that Exeter City have no immediate plans to sell striker Sam Nombe. The former MK Dons man is said to be courting interest from League One rivals Charlton Athletic, who have been put off by City’s £1 million valuation of their star striker.

    The Addicks have already signed Cheltenham’s Alfie May this summer and want to pair him with Nombe. But the Grecians have rejected their £500,000 offer and are desperately hoping to keep hold of the popular frontman, especially as his former club would be entitled to a significant 35% sell-on fee themselves.

  • Must admire Exeter, beautifully played. If our new lot show half the shit housery, then we will be light years ahead of the Banjobollox and Son era of "bring me your sick and injured".
  • Are we really being tight arses over 500k? This club at times, unbelievable.

    I'll pay the extra 500k then 
    They want 1.2 mill

    Would rather see Collins from Bristol Rovers but still think we will see the Exeter boy in a Charlton shirt sooner rather then later .. 
  • When Scott was in charge of transfers in January, he moved a good few players out, loans and transfers, we need him to do the same now for players we do not need at the moment or at all

    You'd think if we were buying the whole city of Exeter, they'd throw the table in for free? Or are we buying it unfurnished?

    If this was the Charlton of (literally) pre-yesterday then I would accept there was a measure of  leap of faith by a player who signed (& fair play to those that did), but this is now the Charlton of post-yesterday and the quality of the signings so far look like they have made us a serious contender for promotion. That doesn’t mean that everyone will automatically choose Charlton to join but staying put or going somewhere else if Deano wants them might not necessarily look too clever as the window closes and the season is underway. In the case of Exeter as a club, only they will know whether they need to sell or not but I suspect if Nombe is good, he will want to be paid more and have some success along the way and then he is almost certainly going to be moving on at the end of his contract and his resale value will be falling as each day goes by once this window has closed. Charlton’s (reported?) bid of £500k could look pretty good in retrospect. Playing chicken is a two way street.
  • Yeah I don’t think we should shift much higher than £500k. Seems like a balanced bid - you would think 700k would be top end in the circumstances, 300k would be bottom end 
  • This could rebound big time on Exeter, just tough that they have to pay MkDons 35% sell on, that's their problem, and supposedly expecting £1.2 Mill or whatever, is just silly business, when he could just sit tight and leave for naff all next year...
    Unsure of the true value of our offer for Nombe, but could very easily see them saying take it or leave it, and move onto their next target if not resolved very soon..
  • Don’t Exeter have to pay 35% to his previous club. That’s a fair old whack. Can see why at this point they’re sitting tight.
