500K would be unbelievable. I think (should CCC leave) it'll be nearer the Stokes fee tbh but I hope you are right. Do I think Fleetwood would have been stupid? Yes 🤣

Whatever happens, I just hope it's done quickly (and undisclosed) so the club know where they stand.

Fleetwood are getting money because of his age. They will have done % deal though it's almost a standard feature of lower league transfers. See us getting some money for signing and never playing Berry. We'll do the same with Chris when we sell him I'm certain. We know from Watmore though that doesn't always work out so well.

Stokes went for over 300 all in I think and he came with a wage free loan back. so that's 500k in value surely. We've gotta hope it gets bidding war silly to push to the higher end. Which as has been mentioned might come with the social media frenzy.

Again, correct me if I'm wrong (and I very well could be!) but I'm not sure age comes into it - Fleetwood agreed a transfer with us, of their own free will, for a player that was under contract with them. How well they negotiated in terms of sell-on % is up to them.

Fleetwood's owner is in jail, they were relegation fodder. I doubt they would have had the wisdom to negotiate anything in terms of selling on fee - they'd have just seen the transfer fee and run.

How many players have quit a regular starting spot at their club for pastures supposedly greener, only to disappear without trace. Stay at Alty Chris, you'll always be wanted here!!

Lots of very strong right backs from this league are  available this summer - Tylor Golden from Halifax, James Clarke from Solihull (who is from the North West) and Connor Barrett from Fylde - although I think they'd have been more realistic if we'd have gone up and it's not a huge priority position unless someone is presented to us that we simply can't refuse.

Add Jeff King to this list...

I'm a believer that the King name is sacred here and he should come just because of that.

My concern is he's a demon going forward but is his defence as strong as we need it to be?

I think Jeff King has Oldham written all over it - and as you say, he's often referred to as a 'non league Trent Alexander-Arnold' due to his prowess going forward compared to his ability to actually defend properly.

I'd be surprised if any of those options I listed (Barrett, Clarke, Golden) don't get moves to the EFL.

I think he's very skillful but physically too small for championship football. Whatever happens I wish him good luck. One badly timed tackle and your career is messed up

I agree. I don't see him in the Championship (yet) but, as I said, I think he'd be able to do a job in League One right now.

The league one clubs won't pay what we'd really like. The only way that would work would be if Ipswich took a chance.
If they did, he'd not go straight into their side so they'd probably loan him out (to us? 🤞).
Must be honest though, if I were Ipswich, I'd be loaning him to a league one side. The ones who've supposedly shown interest would no doubt put him virtually straight in.

My ideal schedule good level of competition scatter in some other trialist and fitness opponents if we wish.

Fleetwood (home)
Trafford (away)
Crewe (home)
Stockport (away)
Nijmegen (home)

Local teams with no rivalries plus what I hope promises me a "home" game every two years.

If we fancied making it a tour one year with a trip to Amsterdamsche FC and Vollendam included it would be very fun for me

I'd imagine Stockport will be one for sure. It'd be lovely to revive the Trafford friendly again. Lancaster was great last year and the Dutch one was pretty interesting.
