Matt Crooks bid falls short on 15:12 - Jun 30 with 4997 views | FPL_Tractor | Looks like we bid 400k. For a club furloughing playing staff I think it's cheeky that the start of the article implies that's a long way below the asking price. |  |

It's too little of course but he is in the last year of his contract. They get nothing next year and at the moment have furloughed their players rather than paying them. SB |  | |  |
Matt Crooks bid falls short on 15:15 - Jun 30 with 4889 views | iamipswich | It's all part of the dance. Can't go in with a large offer so they start thinking he's worth £2 million or something. Nice to see that we're the ones leading the way and not dithering. Very unlike the old Ipswich. |  |

I suspect £750k with add on's will get the deal done. |  |

WANTED man Matt Crooks will begin pre-season as a Rotherham United player as interested clubs have yet to come close to matching the Millers’ valuation of their prized midfielder. The 27-year-old is entering the final year of his contract and a number of teams are keen on luring him away from AESSEAL New York Stadium. Several Championship sides, including Derby County, Middlesbrough and Peterborough United, are hovering but have yet to make serious moves. The Advertiser understands that League One side Ipswich Town have submitted an initial bid of around £400,000 which is way, way below what Rotherham consider Crooks to be worth. “I don’t want to talk about individual clubs because I don’t think it’s right,” Warne said. “I can say, though, that there hasn’t been a bid that has even tempted the chairman to let one of our main assets go.” |  |

Bit of a mick take bid to start with. The longer the dally the more likely a Championship side will come in. Feels like Warne’s comments are a sort of “come and get him”. |  |

I'm still seeing something in crooks rather bizarre like of a town fan tweet. I reckon it's all done and dusted and it's just paper talk with no source checking. |  |

Could be we have agreed terms with Crooks but not with Rotherham? Not that that is the way to go about things officially, of course, but I’m sure it happens. |  |

Possibly. Agents do certainly talk. Also having been on furlough wouldnt he as an individual be within his rights to talk to other potential employers? |  |

You might be right but I think you also need to factor in that not everybody takes social media as seriously as you and thus they might not actually care what they like because to them it doesn't matter and they don't expect people to analyse or even notice every Tweet they like. SB |  | |  |

You could well be right. But to clarify, I wasnt the one who noticed it. And no everybody doesnt take social media seriously. Same as not everyone has to see the world in your black and white way..but each to their own. How did I find out about crooks liking that post... because other people were talking about it..... which is shocking if I am to you the only one to seems to take things 'seriously' on social media. |  |

The bizarre thing about that was that it was clearly an accidental like underneath a post he had gone out of his way to look at as he follows neither the club or Bonne. |  | |  |

He got @‘ed in a reply though. Could’ve just been an accidental like, easily done. Soon unliked it. |  |

Odd post. I never said it was you who noticed, I said "people". I also would say that citing a "like" as evidence for anything is seeing the world in a far more "black and white way" than anything I posted. I fear that one doth protest too much. SB |  | |  |
