5 players I'd keep, the rest I don't care 13:01 - May 11 with 2593 views | IPSWICHFANITFC | KVY - Fits Cook's mould for a full back, exciting, athletic and quick with good technical ability. Needs to stay fit though. Dozzell - Passes forward/first thought forwards. Can play clever passes round the corner first time - just needs better movement ahead of him and you'll see how effective he can be. Downes - Aggressive into a tackle, a good pairing in a pivot next to a deep playmaker. Perhaps Cook may want more experience/leadership to anchor this role though. Dobra - Exciting, raw, forward thinking, fearless and not afraid to carry the ball. A rough diamond who tries to be positive. Norwood - Goal posts don't move, he gets goals if you create the chances. You don't score 20 and 29 goals back to back for Tranmere if you can't finish. |  |

5 players I'd keep, the rest I don't care on 15:20 - May 11 by jayessess | The point is that they were literally the only players to move from League One for a fee over £2m. There was no-one else. Championship clubs will sometimes fork out £2m+ for players who have definitively proven themselves to be the best at our level, but no one moves for those kinds of figures on the back of an indifferent season for a mid-table team. There's literally never been a transfer comparable to the Dobra fee you've touted here, where a 20-year-old with 1 assist and no goals to his name moved for nearly £5m to an elite club. Nothing even close has ever happened. |
....£250k for him plus £4.5m in add ons. The add on clause coming into effect when Albania win the World Cup. |  |

Arsenal paying £5m for Dobra is insane, they probably have 5-6 players in his age group and position who are probably his equal or even far superior. |  |

I get that and you maybe right. I think different. We will see. End of the day I'm not gonna be upset if I'm wrong. That's the fun of a forum. |  |

In what world would we get £4.7m for Dobra when he’s barely played 10 games for the club? |  |

You say that but we’ve already told Brighton to get lost when they offered around £500k and other clubs are still sniffing around, Atalanta have been around watching amongst others. We won’t get £5m but we will want more than £500k. |  | |  |

If, as is implied, we've told the entire squad they should go find a team to buy them and we'll accept offers, then realistically we're going to be getting fairly modest fees. We'd be motivated sellers in a bad market and that would get around pretty quick. Personally, I'm not convinced that a football club that is actively trying to extend Gwion Edwards' contract is going to be actively trying to offload a bunch of younger players with way more potential.

Price is right rules. 500k will be miles closer than 5m which is just totally bonkers. SB |  | |  |
