[Peter Venkman]

Sonny Bradley a CB from Crawley.

Somebody on that FB group has actually criticised Power for being greedy in rejecting the deal.

I kid thee not.

some people are just fucking idiots we all know hes worth more hence why fee has been rejected.

[Flashheart]

I get the feeling the same person would have complained had Power accepted the bid, it came over as more of an opportunity to have a moan about Power than anything.

Sonny Bradley a CB from Crawley.

Out of contract so name is doing the rounds. Burton heavily linked but we have dealt with his agency (World in Motion) lots in the past.

Couldn't reach agreement on new contract with Crawley - Do we pay more than them I wonder?

So what is Ajose's price? Somewhere between £750k-£1mill? Amazed if he's not sold within the month if bids have started already. You can't argue with his goal record this season but generally I've found him anonymous for large periods of most games. As long as the money is reinvested in the team, I think it's good business. So far Power has shown good judgement when he's spent money on players so if selling Ajose's means we can bring in 3 or 4 of quality (not trialist punts) that give us a strong spine to the team, then i think it's the right thing to do.

What odds he's back here on loan within 12 months??

We should sell him to Norwich for £3m

Being anonymous as a striker is a great skill, they forget you because you are shit for 80 minutes, then bang bang game over. Opening bid from whoever, so they are hoping to get him for 750-800k which is probably market value.

Blimey, didn't realise how blessed STFC have been over the years.

then bang bang game over.

ooooooh.

Don't think we should be under any illusions that Ajose loss would be anything other than massive. Without him we'd be down. It'll be interesting to see how we replace him - more youth or someone in the same mould - proven scorer struggling somewhere (not many of those around mind).

[JoeMezz]

Personally think we can get a mil for Ajose - I'd rather lose Ajose than Obika, think Obika is more important to the team

[Batch]

If he can stay fit, he's a better all round contributor. 11 goals in 28 last season is a good return. I understand what you are saying but...

Ajose 23 goals in 35...

I guess we'll find out when we get someone to play alongside Obika - I don't think Hylton is the man myself but he's not had a crack of playing alongside a big man.

FOOTBALL : BBC Wiltshire understands @Official_STFC have turned down a 500,000 bid for Nicky Ajose from an un-named Championship club #stfc

Good news in that we now know that a bid of £500,000 or less, or any kind of interest from a Championship doesn't automatically trigger a release clause or automatically allows the player to speak with that club. An offer of £500,000 + a couple of cones could change things though...

I can't see the whole amount being reinvested in the team. Mainly this would probably be because whatever the reported fee wouldn't necessarily be received in one lump sum.

However, to appease some of the LP doubters (I'm not suggesting you are, Rusty) it wouldn't be a bad thing if a decent wedge of the fee was at least used to make a realistic offer for a new player, especially if the perception is that the club is now being run in a much more sustainable way.
