eric04 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I'm sure their manager has told Dack this isn't the right move for him, as he wants him to stay. What the player really thinks for himself we are unlikely to find out but I suspect it is somewhat different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dack has scored something like 20 goals from midfield in the last season and a half, if we had someone who could do that we'd have wanted a lot more than £1m for them. Yeah, I understand that, I'm just making the point about why we might be critical of their valuation in light of our own experience. We had a defender who scored 15 in one season!

Roofe would be on half the wages Clough wanted, he asked ~15k a year which is ~800k. For me Roofe would be worth £2m considering he wouldn't be on ridiculous wages. Tore apart Swansea and the kind of players we should be getting. How much would you pay for him maximum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle to believe the very best player in league 2 would go for any more than 750k, but then I know jack shit about anything really, I'm glad these aren't decisions I have to make and I'm certainly glad that it isn't my money!

Phileas Fogg Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I think Roofe will prove to be a good player. "He" is probably not worth 2m right now but his worth to Oxford probably is about that. Could they get a replacement as good as him this January in the time remaining for a good price? I don't think so. Therefore his value is what he is worth to Oxford United which is very high. Same for Dack. Both are key players in their respective promotion bids.

screech Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Everybody knows the January window is a pig of an idea. Nobody wants to sell unless you have an asset that is OOC at the end of the season. Oxford, Gillingham have budgeted for this season with their players, to shift them out is going to mean way overspending, if this is who we want then that's what we'll have to do. Punishment I guess, for our shambolic summer recruitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But think of what staying up is worth for us, if Roofe is that difference then he could be considered worth that. For me if we get a top class CAM player behind Kodjia we can start to climb away. If Brentford had paid £2m for Gray from Luton everyone would say he was worth it. If Leicester had paid £2m everyone would say he was worth it. Roofe may not turn out anywhere near as good as them two but I feel he has extra value for us because he's the type of player we are lacking.

Friday 22nd Jan + 93 days = 24th April, which means he misses the Huddersfield away game too. Emergency loans cannot be extended beyond 93 days. Perhaps whoever did the maths did our Financial Accounts too? Maybe we really made a profit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the way things have been going recently, BD will probably turn down the chance to play for us, but if we offer the managers job as a sweetener we might just persuade him.

formerly known as ivan Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 If it's true that Dack has no interest in joining us this would probably be the most embarrassing one yet, in what is already a pretty impressive line of rejections. Unable to attract Gillinghams finest! Guess we will see. Could be a ploy to get as much cash as possible for both Gills and Dack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as we have Gladwin on loan now anyway, think a good idea would be to go for Roofe, but with a loan back to Oxford for the rest of the season, they still keep a key player in their promotion bid until the summer and we have a bright prospect on the books. It then gives Oxford plenty of time to find a replacement before next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if we did what you suggest and Gladwin can't find form and we continue to struggle? We'd look very stupid. We need goals now and Roofe can score them.
