seem more than happy with £3m, a lot seemed to have been expecting £1.5m

Also tend to find that the 'headline' fee gets revised down over time as more information becomes available |  | | |

It's a good fee for them but a good fee for us too. If we don't go up, we've got somebody with a track record of lots of goals and assists for a snip. If we do go up, he's either good enough or we sell him for double. The very definition of win-win. | | | |

Six months left and a decent fee for a replacement. They should be happy enough.
As for us, his stats really say everything we need to know. We've made a good signing. |  |

The happiness with £3m now versus a free in the summer probably overlooks the actual cost of a 'free' signing as well.
If he was out of contract, he'd certainly be expecting a good chunk of that fee to end up in his/his agent's pocket instead. [Post edited 23 Jan 13:42]

£3m is chicken feed in the Championship these days. | | | |

It wasn't that long ago we, like them, were thinking £3m is a lot of money. We're in a different financial league now. It's a great deal for us and them. |  |

£3m looks cheap to me, I know 6 months left on current deal but was only discussing a new deal last week apparently so unlikely would have actually left for free. |  | | |

Exactly what I was thinking - this is a low-risk deal for us with a high potential upside. | | | |

Sounds like Szmodics. |  | | |

Seen more than a few “maybe Ashton wasn’t the problem” comments as they turn on their owner. |  |

Doesn't matter if he's free in the summer, he's worth £3m to us now because he will 100% make an impact for the rest of the season. |  | | |

Some people really need to appreciate what they have, the brizzo fans do seem unhappy about the loss but at least they signed Sami | | | |

It's also revenge for them pinching Webster. | | | |
| On their forum they think he’s worth £5m (n/t) on 14:08 - Jan 23 with 925 views | unstableblue |

I wonder how much Sami told him about us. He might have clinched the deal for us. |  | | |

£3M is not a lot in todays market and probably about right for a player with six months left on his contract. Good deal all round. | | | |

Didn't Wrexham pay £7m+ for Broadhead with just 1 year left.
This feels on par with that. |  | | |

I’d second that.
Cheap at the price if it helps get us over the line! |  | | |

Feels like a bargain - Marcus Stewart cost £2.5M to get us over the line in 2000, and that turned out to be quite a reasonable piece of business. |  | | |

That was BIG money at the time.
Money well spent. |  |

McKenna always seems to purchase players and the opposition fans seem happy with what we pay, then he turns them in to winners !! COYB’s !!! [Post edited 23 Jan 15:12]
