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 

They won't get it.

A bit like @RonnieMoore

Based on what Cawley has said it sounds like our initial and only enquiry/offer for Nombe was some time ago. Probably around the time when we signed May.

I think Nombe and May are quite similar so I’m not convinced we are back in for Nombe now we have May on board.

If you listen to Holden’s interview after the Millwall game he talks about us ‘missing a focal point up front’. That would suggest Dean is more after a Ladapo type than someone like Nombe.

We don’t know who we can get from some of the prem academy’s?

Don't see anyone else on the League 1 list or the League 2 list - the only name that cropped up to me the other week was Luke Armstrong who got 16 for Harrogate last season 

Luke Armstrong is a player who could be the target man we may need for May. Very physical striker who I believe was one of the best aerial dual winners last season (think Stockley 21' season as a comparison). 

Only issue is he has a contact for another 2 years, hasn't really played above league 2 level, isn't exactly prolific and would command a fee. With him being league 2 and only managing 16 goals with 40+ games it's not great. Certainly one if I was a manager I'd have a look at though to see if he could work in a system.

Macaulay Langstaff from League 2 is probably the most promising of the bunch, I don't see Notts County playing ball though..

Langstaff is definitely the most promising but I can see Notts County dismissing any enquiry that wasn't multi millions. 

Jamie Vardy went from Conference to Championship for £1m ages ago now.

Longstaff will be twice that at the very least - Its no doubt why he's still @ Notts County

The price they'd want plus the fact it's a gamble as he's 26 and has never played league football is definitely what is putting teams off.

If he has a good season this year then i've no doubt he'll get a championship move next summer.

Speaking to a mate who supports Exeter, says Nombe is amongst the best in the league for his money and he's gutted he's potentially off. I said about how Cawley had downplayed it but he said there's a lot of noise their end about it being done or close to. Not ITK at all but take that for what it's worth 

Amazing how there is a Charlton fan that  has a mate supporting a club where we have interest in a Player. 

I think you probably need to look up the word ‘amazing’

I've actually had a good read of Exeter's forums and social media platforms because in a nutshell, I'm lonely.

From what I can make out, they're resigning themselves to relegation if they lose him, they think they need a handful of signings of league 1 quality to stay up as their squad is very much league 2 now with the players lost (their words).

In regards to the players they've sold so far, in particular Collins and Ampadu, it's gonna be drip fed across 2-3 years, Josh Key will be a measley tribunal fee.

They lost out on Friend to Bristol Rovers, likely because of wages. So they aren't looking like big spenders this window and will likely be somewhere in the bottom 10 teams in terms of budget, it sounds cruel but we need to take advantage of that.

They need money and bodies, I'd be looking to maybe see if we can offload some of our players there and give them a cash deal upfront so they can strengthen. 

Perfectly aware it isn't FIFA but in an ideal world, role out Aaron Henry, DJ and here's half a mill. 

Either way by the sounds of things, they can't compete with us financially and Sam Nombe is a London regular which they think that could work in our favour.

I'd say stay slightly optimistic with this one, I certainly will

In time honoured fashion, their manager telling fans what they want to hear.

Exeter will of course need a replacement signed or ready to sign before they will let Nombe leave.
Only common sense - they won't sell if it leaves them without a main striker for the opening game of the season next week.

That’s deffo signing tomorrow 

But you have told us it was off, it was a done deal, we are talking to Exeter, the agent told the player we were interested about 3 weeks after you told us we were.  I take it his agent doesn't read your posts?

Throw enough shit at the wall and some of it will stick.  At least one of them is right.

Admire your stamina.

Think I reported what was being said on other sites ..the deal is not 



the Exeter fans tonight still expect him to join us

It would help if you actually said that.  When that is the case.  Or it's "your people" like it was with Luke Jephcott, that you then made up a porkie about it being in the local press.  Or it's the voices in your head.  Or it's we might, that you translate to we have. 

If your copying from else where say so.
If its your opinion, or a guess, say so.
If your have actually been told something personal say so.

It will massively reduce your lols and you won't be be able to run off to your other pals and say how much you wound up CL but your get much less stick here.

The only reason why the Exeter Fan Page (the first place that broke the news about Nombe) said he was joining us because he got his haircut in South London yesterday. Seems that others jumped on the bandwagon after that. 

I had my haircut today, and there's been no transfer gossip about me at all 

Not bothered. Highly overrated

Heard AFKA took the money and ran. Drove him there himself by all accounts.

Did you read that today in the Exeter Express & Echo, Ronnie?
