Hope we get the five a side package from the photographer

 

[Beefy]

You’re quite possibly right, although I’m not sure Demi would be seen as a priority over another keeper?

I’d reckon Dackers (if that comes to pass) and a keeper are the two top priorities with JD on hand on the coaching staff to be registered to play if there’s an injury to Gus.

If we've only got 16 players I can't see us wanting to carry a second goalkeeper.

I imagine if Collin gets injured, we'll be able to sign an emergency loan even under the embargo so not overly fussed there. Collin is more than capable and professional enough to not let the lack of competition affect his performances.

You may be right. That makes sense. CB and goal scoring forward the two biggest priorities then?

If so I hope it's a different photographer to yesterday!

Does anyone know if we get any money from the bishop to Sunderland deal that’s just been announced ?

I would guess between 400k-700k

Hopefully around 100k coming in

Chris Philips has tweeted that he thinks we have 15% due now. Your numbers sound about right. Not the sort of money to really change the picture that much, but very welcome nonetheless.

 

[Shrimper]

15% would be £60,000 to £105,000

Decent

Seems a bit of a pony deal. Didn’t we let him go for free? I understand that it’s a tough one to not let him go to Man Utd, but something like 25% - 50% would be a fairer sell on IMO.

I don't think we exactly held the whip hand in negotiations at the time.

I think 15% in itself is proof of a pretty good job done by the club in terms of negotiation. Never in a million years would we get a 50% sell on fee.

 

[bazzashrimper]

Fair enough. Just seems a bit rubbish a talented young player being sold for 15% of his next transfer. Not saying that the negotiation was poor but more about the sad state of the game

 

[Jmayhew32]

But if Southend saw him as a potential #1 for United at the time with a future transfer fee upwards of £10m, 15% would have been just fine. All about hedging your bets.

Not free. An "undisclosed fee".

I think Bazza meant the transfer from us to Man U was free.

It sounds like we might have 15% of whatever Man U received, which is a welcome bonus. Probably not enough to really change our finances that much but it all helps. Maybe £100k absolute tops if we’re lucky?

 

[Petejames]

So who knows what’s going on surrounding the rumours of 3 coming in before Saturday!! ….

But it wasn't, as the link proves.
