Phil.. is it poss we could have things personally agreed before the fee has been agreed? |
That sort of thing never happens! Think the narrative will play out that we will get him. Rotherham comments seem to be posturing.

I think we'll get him, might take a bit of to-ing and fro-ing but think it will happen eventually. |
10p says we won't. I hope you are right but we can't get everyone we go in for with a bid and i reckon he will go to the championship. I just think at his age and having experienced it already he'll want a championship club. |  | | |

Would this suggest though that with fees being floated around via the Rotherham side that we’ve moved to a stage where Crooks is warm to the idea of moving here? I mean we can agree fees with Rotherham, but the player has to want to come here. |  | | |

I think the longer these things go on the more there is the indication the player isn't against it. Not often you hear of a move which has been ongoing for a while that falls down as a player decides he just doesn't fancy it. Of course, players could equally not be against other potential moves. | | | |

Bit of 'destabilising' first with a low bid? |  | | |

You never want your first bid accepted innit.
I'm liking Phil's confidence. I'll get a massive stiffy if we can sign him, I think he's a quality player and exactly what we've been missing. Our midfield would start to look very tasty. |  |

If you all get stiffys, could you please get rid of them before posting on the forum? I don't like the thought of talking to a tumescent man online without me knowing. | |

This talk of the players being on furlough, people shouldn't be reading too much into it.
In all likelihood, you're not going to get someone on £20k a month all of a sudden stuck on £3k a month, the club is merely making the most of a government scheme where the players are technically not working or can do anything for the club during what is a downtime anyway and making £2,500 per player per month (or whatever).. and topping them up to 100%.
Say you've got a squad of 20 players, the club could be saving £50k a month, would be stupid not to.
Given clubs have been hit with no crowds, I have no issue with this, even though it's a bit of a technicality as they'd not be working anyway. |  | | |

Yeah but what if we sign Matt Crooks? Surely Phil's more of a left back? |  |

I’m not one for being held to ransom over transfer fees, but if there was one bit of business that I would pay a bit over the odds to get it done quickly it would be this one. He’d be a quality addition. | |

And bearing in mind they returned to training today they won't be on furlough anymore. | | | |
