I’m not sure Holden wants that exact type of player. He definitely wants someone physical who can hold the ball up, but he wants players with pace to run in behind and able to press. Nombe fits that bill perfectly.Scoham said:
I posted last seasons L1 top scorers on here yesterday - there really aren’t many to choose from after you rule out those at similar sized or bigger clubs, and those who scored less than 15.NabySarr said:
JCH is likely to cost more than £1m as well. I’d go with Nombe but wouldn’t pay 7 figures for him. Surely we can find another for £500-700k that the selling team isn’t asking for too much on?Chris_from_Sidcup said:
The thing is the owners will look at Nombe (24 years old) and see potential there and the room for improvement. If he did well for us he could be worth a few million in 2-3 years if we're in the championship.Pelling1993 said:If we were going to pay £1m for a striker in this league I think i'd rather have Clarke-Harris
JCH is 29 and whilst he pretty much guarantees 25 goals a season, there wouldn't be any sell on value as he'll be the wrong side of 30 soon.
So it's a tricky one. Guaranteed goals from JCH versus Nombe who has a higher ceiling in terms of career potential.From L2 someone mentioned Armstrong but I think most of the others were older players who wouldn’t necessarily be good enough.
Championship players out of favour is an option but if older they won’t have the sell on value and may want a bigger wage.
I agree with the post about us needing a Kermorgant/Burton link up player. I’d say that type of player is less likely to be a Prem loan as they need a combination of strength, technique and intelligence which usually only comes from experienced players.Surely there’s a prem U23 out there that is similar build to Leaburn who has size and strength but also enough pace to be a threat in behind and press?0 -
Could finally be time for Andy Delort19

it's a real shame we missed out on Smith.9

Yep. The timing was perfect tooLargeAddick said:it's a real shame we missed out on Smith.1 -

Sam Smith....13 in 45 last season and 15 in 46 the season before. 1 assist each season.
I love how some players turn into being the great savior on CL!4 -

He didn't stand out to me against Innis last season in both home and away games. Admittedly, aside from these games, I've not followed him too closely.Covered End said:

With any luck all 4 will be distant memories come start of the season although I fear at least one probably Kirk will still be around.NabySarr said:
Tbf we spent nearly £2m combined on Lavelle, Kirk, Stockley and Jaiyesimi. It’s refreshing to see us being linked with good playersMintoHumbugs said:It’s refreshing to see Charlton being linked with players who will cost a few bob.
It’s been a good few years with so much optimism going into the new season .0 - Sponsored links:

How's the last neck-tattooed former Peterborough player known to be "high maintenance" doing?ButtleJR said:
Looks do not deceive in this instance. Wouldn't surprise me if he's waiting for Man City to make a formal approach.mendonca said:I'd avoid JCH, on the basis that he looks like a knob.

So if there is not really anyone else shouldn't we just pay the 1mio odd for Nombe? Not saying we should necessarily, interested in everyone's views.0

I think there will be a few Championship strikers available for loan that we should investigate before paying too much for Nombe. Ladapo is currently only still at Ipswich because they haven’t yet got their striker targets. I think that’s the scenario we should be looking at.WHAddick said:So if there is not really anyone else shouldn't we just pay the 1mio odd for Nombe?

No, not if we don't value him at that figure, Exeter will eventually see sense and negotiate a realistic figure, he could leave for free next year so at some time they need to wake up and smell the coffee, assuming we are still interested if that ever happens...WHAddick said:So if there is not really anyone else shouldn't we just pay the 1mio odd for Nombe?

No idea if there is anyone else decent and available.WHAddick said:So if there is not really anyone else shouldn't we just pay the 1mio odd for Nombe? Not saying we should necessarily, interested in everyone's views.
Hopefully Andy Scott and the scouts do though.0 -
Agree. I think Exeter will hold firm and have to think again in January.eastterrace6168 said:

Transfer fees mean nothing to us as the fanbase of this club. No matter how big or small it won't influence the sustainability at this level. So from our perspective as fans, we can just hope the owners spend as much as possible until they get bored of the losses.WHAddick said:So if there is not really anyone else shouldn't we just pay the 1mio odd for Nombe?

I think most clubs would buckle if a firm approach unsettles a player as his heart would no longer be in it. We've been in that situation for sure.ShootersHillGuru said:

We can't know what Nombe's mindset is just now, but can certainly understand Exeter trying to keep hold of him but get the impression that they are just looking to up the price.
My guess is that he will be gone this window.1 - Sponsored links:

Absolutely not this. The owners need to run the club properly. Not throw stupid money down the drain just because they can. Spend what you have wisely and have in place people who know what they are doing.balham red said:

I never thought Dack was realistic.

At a guess I think there will be 10's maybe 20 other options. Some will be free. Whether they are as good , or maybe even better is another matter. A good loan from Premiership can transform a team/season- eg JRSWHAddick said:So if there is not really anyone else shouldn't we just pay the 1mio odd for Nombe?

Not necessarily. If they’ve lost a lot of players and can’t afford to replace them they might decide it’s better for them financially and reputationally to hold out for the fee they need to rebuild or keep him, give themselves a realistic chance of staying up and then lose him for free in the summer as a L1 team. Essentially what Morecambe tried to do with Stockton (not that he helped them with that!) A few hundred thousand might be worth a lot less to them than survivaleastterrace6168 said:

TS is a good example of this. Nobody can accuse him of not spending money, £500k for Kirk etc. Its just the money was spent badly when you look at what that money can actually buy at our levelShootersHillGuru said:

The problem was who was advising him about which players to get in, using his son who has no experience was the worst decision he could have made, as well as appointing his partner to be HR, illegally. He deserves all the money he lostAndyG said:

There would be one current employee who would now be an ex-employee though - maybe I would have just done that and then resigned!3 -
So pinning all their hopes on survival on to Nombe, sounds all very idealistic, realistically they could get relegated and lose him for nowt, surely money in the bank now that could be put to more use getting some players that actually want to play for Exeter makes more sense, it seems that Nombe wants out, no point having a disgruntled player around the place is there...Garrymanilow said:

There's been no indication that Sam Nombe wants out at Exeter (right now), he hasn't submitted a transfer request or made his feelings public.
The only things we know as fact are:
- We have an interest in Nombe and have had a bid rejected of approximately £500,000
- Exeter aren't refusing to sell Nombe, just that they value him at the price of £1,200,000
It's just now down to how much we think Sam Nombe is worth and what we can afford to part with. You have to imagine if we do end up upping our bid, that will empty the transfer kitty, are we strong enough everywhere else to afford that luxury?5
