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. |  |

It's a brave new world now Bloots. There is now someone in charge who knows what they are doing. Clegg, Milne and O'Neil are out of the picture and Ashton will bring in untold millions for that lot. We'll be rich, rich beyond our wildest dreams. |  |

Nearly 5m for Dobra?
Utter nonsense.
500k maybe, he's shown nothing to be worth any more than that.
I guess you might get that much if you start a Dobracoin.

I did say above I'm probably slightly off. My point being is theyll be sold and for good figures. Just being league 1 wont stop Ashton being able to maximise fees. | |

I think you're quite a bit more than "slightly off".
Dele Ali only went for 5m from this league for instance. You need to take off the blue tinted glasses occasionally before posting.
Not sure that the continual citing of Ashton as a superhuman miracle worker is going to change many peoples opinions.

Football has moved on. The markets are still crazy for footballers.
It's not about being a miracle worker. It's about selling your assets as good as you can
With all our younger players like Dozza. Downes. Dobra. You're not just selling what they've done. You're selling what they could do. Higher leagues. Better team mates. Better coaches. | |

I'm shocked you're serious.
Hard to really know what to say with this level of delusion so I'll leave you to it and if we sell Dobra for anything like 5m then you can bring this thread up again.

....about £250k for him last year?
I'm sure it was something like that.
Maybe the extra 15 appearances or so in Division 3 have increased his value 20 times?
Maybe!!!
(maybe not though) | |

Appearances would have helped yes. The data will have shown how he took to the games. Run rate. Heat mapping, dribbles, crosses. Interceptions etc all goes into his portfolio.
As I said above. I maybe slightly off. But I can still see us getting very favourable figures for them especially the add on values | |

Summer 2020 Outgoing League One transfers £2m+
Ivan Toney, £5m (24 years old, 24 goals and 6 assists in the league)
Rob Dickie, £2.4m (24, ever present POTS for 4th best team in the league)
That was it.
Yes, obviously, the fees you're talking about here would be an absolute miracle. [Post edited 11 May 2021 14:45]

With Toney. Its upto £10 mill with Add ons. 4 years older
Dickie also 4 years older and a defender so data sets completely different to Dobs.
We will see. | |

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. | |
