Seen a clip of Mothersille where he seems to believe he will win the balon d'or within 5 years. Is an okay player but not championship standard to me and feel like him and NJ would clash. Maybe posh are leaking to try and recoup some of their recent losses on players.
Wouldn't be surprised if what people were saying the other day about DMac needing the cash badly and not getting anything for Ricky Jade-Jones, Kyprianou and a reduced fee for Poku is panicking him. Mothersille strikes me as one of the few players they have that they could get " something" for that they have left.
An alternative view is as much as FLW have been click-bait nonsense previously, recently they've got a few things right.
It's the transfer rumours thread at the end of the day, believe what you want to believe.
Mothersille has the Jamaica link and would probably integrate well, so there's that. We also need a player with a bit of trickery and pace up top. Would be a good signing if we can make it happen. Another one ready for the drop if we go down, or we sell if he has a good season.
Problem with Mothersille is Dmac will try to use him to recoup the money lost on RJJ and Poku so we’d end up paying over the odds. That’s before you even take into account that it’s come from FLW
I think he’s out of contract so it will be up to a tribunal
I’m not a huge fan of FLW but in their defence, they do actually get quite a few things right now and are breaking these stories rather than regurgitating.
I feel like at the beginning they just rehashed stuff but they’ve been doing it a while now and have probably developed their own contacts, certainly at particular clubs I notice they have the inside scoop on.
Feels like everyone just remembers them from the start and have written them off accordingly.
I’d take the rumour at face value - we’ve made an enquiry but not an offer. I’d say we’ve probably done that for many players gauging their value - don’t think FLW have really overdone it or said it’s going to happen, no different to any other rumours site or poster.

I can see it as being plausible honestly. There are (apparently) questions about attitude etc but possibly Jones is backing himself to sort that out and hopefully turn "potential" into productive player.
I'm not saying it's definitely a goer but wouldn't be shocked if it does have some basis in fact either.
Can't see Galbraith going for less than 2 million tbh unless the add-ons are heavy and big clauses. I don't trust Nixon at all but between 2-2.5 million is about right for a player of that quality, regardless of there just being a year left. That's the difference between securing a player, or being in a free for all free agent market when his contract is up.
Different calibre of club of course, by lightyears, but I don't think Bayern cared too much on spending 100 million on Kane with a year left. Context always matters when paying a price for a player. I know Bayern are a completely different level of club, but the premise is the same.
What people may see as a heavy price for a player with a year left, I see a marginal difference of a fee for a player which could be the difference in staying up. Of course there are players out there who may offer the same, but if Jones wants him, Jones should push for it.
We won't get much better for that price tag I don't think, but let's see.
Plus whilst 2.5m might seem a lot for him now, he's a player with serious potential and sell on value. If he had a good season in the Championship, then at today's prices you could potentially be looking at selling him for 15m+ next summer.
I'm not saying they're the same calibre of player but Blackburn sold Wharton for 18m + add ons after 44 league games in the Championship.
It’s not just about the players value now even including potential. It’s the fact that he’s entering his last year under contract. Certainly Orient can hold out for an overvalued fee now but if there are no takers then in January that real figure whatever it might be that clubs are prepared to pay will be less. At that point Orient cash in on whatever is on the table or he runs down his contract and walks for nothing. I very much doubt Orient can afford to do that with their only prize asset. I think he’ll be gone quite late in the window for around £1.8 million. Sadly I think we’ll lose out in that last minute scramble.
Unless Huddersfield offer amazing wages, I can't see him choosing another L1 side over a Championship one.
Agree but if Hudds are spending that sort of fee plus what they’ve already spent then perhaps they are next seasons Birmingham. That might persuade the player if the wages are Championship level.

Didn’t Huddersfield spend big last summer but failed to make the play offs
I'd take a punt on Mothersille... Should be relatively cheap and will know a few of the team already, so should settle quickly. Relatively low downside and big potential upside

FLW is a terrible site that makes stuff up or copies other sites. Take anything they say with a pinch of salt.
