You beat me to it. Typically as a Tier2/Tier3 “straddles” we’ve attracted the wrong type of player…and graveyard is a good term.

The simple answer is - it depends. You can right whatever you want in a transfer contract. Things like sell-on percentage usually persist through multiple transfers (as long as they keep increasing in value), but I’ve heard on examples where they are constrained by the contract term. For example, player x signs for team a on a 4 year deal with a 20% sell on, but that sell-on is only paid if a sale is completed within that 4 years. The same can happen for other add-ons too. Agree, they are preparing to pay £20m for Jackson, circa £10m for Semenyo is not unbelievable at all, imho.

Re Scott and Semenyo from a purely financial point of view, one sale in this years accounts and one in next years (from 1st June onwards) is gonna help us…even in the new FFP rules.

See my earlier post. Not suspended.

Without knowing the ins and outs at your club, this looks like a sensible appointment and far more suitable than Morison or Hudson, wherever your thoughts are on them as people. Lamouchi coupled with Bamba gives the fans a “continuity”.

I will miss him for sure. The conversion from wide forward / winger to a central striker / inside forward has helped make the most of his raw power and to some extent his raw ability. I think he might’ve been a CM at SGS when first spotted. Holden gave him his first real chance in 20/21, but under Nige he’s blossomed. I’m interested to see how he does and how they play him. I agree we will miss what he brings to the team, and it’s up to Nige (and recruitment team) to find solutions to make the sum of the parts work. I quite like Cornick, seems a sensible signing in terms of where we are financially, and although he’s a bit of a “drifter” positionally, he’s not played LF much in his career. Assuming he signs it will be interesting to see how he fits in. It does give us options to play Sykes in the midfield three also, which is where he’s played a lot in his time too. Good luck Antoine.

He is the Godfather of transfer stories. Kid said Antoine was pushing.

That’s why it went over my head then ? No. Will be served in NFTM (non-first team match) as red card was given in NTFM.

I don’t think we will know the fee, it’ll be announced as undisclosed, like virtually all transfers these days. We will all make our assumptions from those sources we trust / don’t trust. Nige did say they met our valuation. We don’t know what that is. He also said last week, that it was the Bournemouth side of the deal that were leaking info. We might be able to have a stab at it when the accounts come out. It’s a sizeable sum, enough to help both this window and summer recruitment plans. It appears we held out for more than Bournemouth initially and subsequently bid, but there is always a price. And then add-ons are another game in itself!!!

Maybe. Who’s JK?

Had the same on twitter. @Curr Avonyour bloody sister too! ? Although most have been positive.

Also, Cornick is cup-tied in case anyone is thinking we need to get him registered quickly.

Spoiler Alert

C’mon Gav…it’s on your injury page! ??? Suspended - two yellow cards in the FA Cup, suspension in the FA Cup.

Was just about to start a thread of the MD20 for Saturday. Lets start with last Saturday’s team: Starters: O’Leary Tanner Vyner Atkinson <space> Scott James Naismith Sykes Wells <space> Subs: Haikin Dasilva Kalas King Williams Taylor-Clarke Bell <space> <space> I guess Nige might not bother to name 9 subs. Even so, for sake of argument, Dasilva in at LB for Pring, Bell in at LF for Semenyo. Leaves between 2 and 4 sub spaces. Kadji probably comes in. Palmer-Houlden maybe?

Kolo Toure sacked

2 goals and 4 assists in the equivalent of 9 1/2 games.

Morris cost them £2m+ in the summer and I suspect his price is rising.

I have previous here, Woodrow is a good player, clever player. Morris’s signing and partnership with Adebayo is now their first choice.

Plus they signed Morris, Woodrow

I think this has got similar vibes to Kal Naismith last summer.

Assuming Weimann won’t make it.

Appearance based add-ons that are decent and easy to achieve might help boost it too.

Wilson back in training but too soon for this weekend.
