I better see a player from abroad that has signed at 3pm otherwise the meltdown will be unfathomable 😂4

And I get that would be bad by the end of the window. But that doesn’t justify an already ‘very bad’ window 60% in.CafcSteve said:
Probably because we still have Cov & Doc as our midfield with our first league game in less than two weeks.RC_CAFC said:

We have so far lost no one I wouldn’t have wanted to lose and brought in 3 players who definitely feel like upgrades. A bit of a wildcard in Alli and a very journeyman feel right back who apparently has an excellent attitude.
We still need more but the manager has already said that and we’ve only had about 60% of the window so far.
No club will be finished their business by this point. It’s just not how the window works.2 -
Oh joy, another Tyreece Campbell thread.7

As for his value I don’t know, but what I do know is that Preston won’t have paid it if they do sign him with 1 year left on his dealAberystwythAddick said:

Think that people just wanted it sorted by the beginning of the season with it being so obvious throughout last season.RC_CAFC said:

Imagine that some people are also worried about the like of Jones & Ramsay not signing new deals.1 -

@Redrobo is already discussing a complex witness protection style relocation programme with the authorities.CB1 said:I better see a player from abroad that has signed at 3pm otherwise the meltdown will be unfathomable 😂I’m not ITK but I’ve heard from a pretty reliable source at the club that it’s a four bed new build just outside Preston9 -
I really don’t think he has to progress that much to be worth a good fee if you understand the market for that type of player at the moment.LargeAddick said:
To sell him for much more money in a year or two you are banking on him progressing sufficiently. Personally I just don’t see it.NabySarr said:
We’d still get compensation if he left next summer000__Jaaaaay__000 said:
There is when you stand to make zero money from him when he leaves on a free next year. See it way too often from our fans, a lot seem to think it’s a great business model to just let players run their contracts down and lose them on a free.Emason32 said:There is no positive spin to put on it if we sell one of our key players, who we want and are trying to keep, for a fraction of their true value to a direct divisional rival
Regardless, the smart financial move is to lay him the money now so we can retain him, and then sell him in a year or 2 for much more money. We should be doing all we can to keep him and really pushing the boat out, if we’ve done that and he still won’t sign then fair enoughTC has premier league level physical attributes, he’s one of the quickest players in the championship (think he was clocked 3rd fastest in the league last season), and when he’s not knackered his running distances are very good and he does a lot of it at high intensityThese attributes all in one player are very very rare which makes him hugely valuable in modern football where 1v1 dribbling, distance covered and number of sprints are given a lot more importance when teams are recruitingIf you still don’t see it then Andre Brooks went for £9m this summer, he’s a similar type of player that TC actually starts ahead of for Jamaica. Last season he had 6 goals and 2 assists, so his output was only 2 G/A more than TC and he’s worth £9m. If TC was to even marginally improve his output and we had him on a longer contract he is easily worth at least £5m but possibly nearer that Brooks fee
If TC wants an extra 5k a week on top of whatever we’ve offered him then I think it’s worth it in the long term13 -
Given the Alli purchase, TC is worth £2m+. With a 3/4 year contract £10m+. I'm surprised more Prem sides aren't in for him. You cant coach pace.3

This would be a terrible decision, and so I fully expect it to happen.9

That’s because this season hasn’t started and he doesn’t score many goals.Wijoh said:
Sorry but it’s an objective fact that TC has been booed this last season, and has received a lot of abuse.NabySarr said:
There was a game last season where he missed a chance and the chant of “fucking useless” was very clear. I’m sorry but your experience seems to be very different to everyone else hereBraziliance said:
I must just be nowhere near these boo people.TheHerminator said:
The fact you think TC doesn't get abused is absolutely baffling.Braziliance said:TC getting abused? People are having a laugh right? TC is way more supported at games than heckled, substantially more.
He has a chant (completely inaccurate btw, rarely scores) that gets sung at least twice a game. All the people that do have a go at him he probably can't hear in a packed stadium.
TC frustrates fans, but that happens at every club. We as a fan base generally give players an easy ride, it takes a lot for us to completely have a pop at someone.
Be annoyed if he goes, as I don't believe we can adequately replace him, but from his point of view the move might be at the right time. He plays in a team that nullifies his strengths, he may get more attacking freedom at Preston, then it's up to him to improve individually. I feel here he has too many defensive duties at times and has been overplayed.
Yes I have heard people say to me they think TC is lazy, frustrating (I have said I find him frustrating loads) and I have heard people outloud moan when TC misplaces a cross or whiffs a shot etc. I have never witnessed a person say something so obvious he directly hears it though.
I have met TC a handful of times, and the lad is never upbeat. You compare him to our other academy lads like Kanu and Anderson (of course now ex) and they're nothing alike. I have always found Miles and TC to be a bit reserved and not look motivated, but that is their personality type.
Can genuinely say I have never heard or seen anything where I have thought "TC will hear/see that and it's going to impact him". If we are talking social media, he will have to log off or avoid it, as that only gets worse the higher he goes.
I think TC has been far more backed by us as fans than heckled. Vocal minority having a lot of influence here imo.TC used to celebrate goals but this season no longer does.Social media is equally bad of course0 -

Aren’t you massively contradicting yourself there?Photollery said:If a player, any player, doesn’t want to re-sign, then as a business you need to cash in.
As previously mentioned on this thread, I’d maybe let Jones run his contract down if he didn’t re-sign.
We are all replaceable in life, doesn’t matter who you are.
Come September NJ will have a squad he will have to use, what will be will be. NJ will give it a go, most of the players will turn up and we will all be a year older.
Far too many on here are glass half empty 😂
Anyway, whether it’s better to let a player run down their contract or sell them with 12 months to go depends on a number of factors:
- how important is the player to us?
- is the player likely to be demotivated if they stay for the remaining year of their contract?
- how replaceable are they?
- how much do we get if we sell now?
- is the amount we get to sell now enough to bring in an adequate replacement or strengthen other more pressing areas of the team.
It’s not as simple as “if he’s got 12 months left and won’t sign a new deal then sell him”, especially for a regular first team starter like TC.
Look, for all we know, TC has signed a new 5 year 20K contract.What I’m saying is, we all put too much of our ‘feelings’ into football, all of us. But, in any other business, if you need to cash in, you cash in.TC isn’t one I’d personally keep, he has had plenty of time to develop to a higher level, there is a value now. LJ would in my opinion have a lesser value next year anyway due to his age.oh, not sure ‘Massively’ wasn’t a bit over the top 😂 for contradicting 😏0 -
Yes, we dodged a bullet not paying 750,000 for Sorba Thomas, a winger from Boreham Wood. What a mistake that would have been!RonnieMoore said:
We have the money but not stupid enough to spend 750,000 on a non league player ..3 -
We’re gonna bang on about it for pages and pages!TheHerminator said:
We're not sure, but one thing for absolute certain is that he has definitely been regularly abused by the fan base, but also regularly had a song sung about him, so is a fan favourite.ross1 said:Sorry I have read the last 200 comments but still not sure, is TC good or useless 😂
Hope that clears things up a bit0 -
TC is a massive Andrew Flintoff fan.Bod said:Who wouldn't be seduced by the bright lights of Preston?3 -
Bored by the whole TC thing tbh.
I wish he would either sign a new contract or be sold just so we could discuss something else.5 -

no it don’t .. it’s been a good window with players coming in better then we had which is what NJ told everyone .. two more coming in .. if TC goes not a great loss was it 3 assists all season .. think Apter given the same amount of games will have far better stats then that .. don’t see TC as a starter.Read the posts of @stjohnshill and take a long hard look at yourself.It is really very sad.

Like him or loath him, TC, like Godden and Lloyd Jones been carrying this team the past few seasons. He has been used out of position repeatedly, as our only attacking threat was often doubled up on, and without his threat we would have been relegated last season.
Even with our additions this season, I think he is likely one of our best value for money assets in the building. Commanding a modest salary compared to his value and output, as haphazard as it can be.
If we did sell him, I very much doubt that it would generate the level of fee that would be commensurate with the value he holds for us, especially when you consider hat to replace him would cost significantly more in both fee and salary, stretching our budget even further.
I hope he stays, regardless of signing a new deal, as I think losing him on a free less summer would actually be less expensive than replacing him this season. If he does sign a new deal, I hope its because he has the assurances that he will get gametime in his preferred position and the opportunity to show what he can do when there is more than one threat on the pitch for the opposition to mark.
Regardless, I expect him to prove the doubters wrong and go on to have an excellent career.21 -

Part of me finds it hilarious that his agent thinks he can pressure Charlton into offering him a better deal as if he wasn’t part of the worse championship midfield last seasonChunes said:
