That’s that for that one then.

He’s shit anyway 😉

Don’t think we were ever interested it seemed it was his agent trying to get Pompey to up their offer … now watch us sign him today lol

According to he who must not be named from the other forum. Not sure if I'm to post it on here as I don't know his reputation. Is he reliable?

"A proper piece of info for you. Preston have met our 3.5 million asking price for TC but the player has decided he doesn’t want to go and not keen on the deal."

That's a glorious rumour to say because it's totally unprovable. I wouldn't be angry if it was true though, would be a decent valuation and might increase our chances of TC staying

If he refuses to leave and doesn’t sign a new contract that is the absolute worst case scenario 

That’s what I cant understand if TC is so happy here that he’s willing to reject the opportunity for more money, and chance to play for a fanbase that wont abuse him why not sign a new deal. Likewise if he doesn’t want to sign why hasn’t he jumped at the opportunity to get out of here 1 year earlier than he had to doesn’t make sense 

I’d not be that surprised if it’s true. Preston is a crap move, they’re likely to be just as shit as we are. He might know that there are other clubs looking at him this window so he’d rather wait and see if they match our asking price 

Or he might want to leave next summer. Financially that would be the best move for him, and also football wise it might be the best move for him. If he has a half decent season then he will have better offers than Preston next summer, and if he doesn’t then I’m sure we will still have an offer on the table 

Unless a promotion chasing team comes in for him, I can’t see him going this window. He’ll most likely run his contract down unless we make him a no brainer offer. He probably deserves it though, with a decent team around him he could be a great player.

100% agree. 

I never subscribed to the "Cult of Dobbo" while he was here but would have him back in an instant if available. 

Docherty was an upgrade at the time once we stopped faffing about playing him as a 10, his discipline and positioning were better hence the lack of "last ditch chuck yourself at 'em tackles", but the last two seasons at Wrexham, playing with better players and Dobson has improved a lot, especially of the more football side as those stats suggest. He is the better player now and think a much better version of Docherty helps Coventry out more (whos stats also looked greatly better than expected) would still want a big upgrade on Coventry (I say that as a cov fan so calm down Leuth) but..

If money is tight, Dobson in on loan with Chalobah on a free to back up Cov (plus wheezebag JRC I guess) and spend whatever there is on that right winger and its been ok... 

All this talk of Dobson is a moot point if he doesn't want to come back here (he left once before remember) or if Jones doesn't want him back

Looks like Kamara close to joining Portsmouth. What a desperately disappointing window but we just have to get on with it. If we drop down to league 1 which is highly likely not owning any of the assets we are not going to be appealing to any potential owners or investors . 

not getting Kamara isn’t the end of the world mixed reviews buy Hull fans and essentially buying him off his 1 good L1 year 3 years ago 

who we get instead will be the telling thing. If it’s Redmond it sums up where we’re going

Wouldn't surprise me if TC didn't fancy Preston, he seems a shy person who has only ever been at Charlton. Quite a big change.

Then something needs to give. He either needs to sign a new deal or man up and move on

Would Redmond even be that bad? him and apter on the right isn’t a bad combination 

Your completely right if we were in L1 

Obviously easy to say when it's not your money but i'd imagine it's worth keeping TC if we couldn't get at least £2m for him. We would still get compensation if he leaves next summer anyway.

I want a player called Burgzorg. 

Jóhann Burgzorg Guðmundsson

Apter couldn’t even get in Bolton’s squad last season, so that’s uninspiring enough.
