That article suggests we've turned down 750k which I'd be... surprised by. Especially if that's guaranteed!
Didn’t Holloway say that none of the bids were in 6 figures? I guess that could have been up front cash, with the rest being in add-on’s |

Anything above 750k would make him our biggest sale since the Mark Cooper days?

I think it was 500k straight up, rising to 1.5M. Depends what sort of deal we get for Ameen but i’d expect it to be bigger than Hunt’s last summer. |

At the moment it doesnt exceed much more than £100k up front and 2 championship teams are said to have offered that but add ons take the fees up. Holloway himself stated the fee was not more than £100k up front. |

Doesn’t matter how much ‘we’ get for Ameen, up front, add ons or sell on. ‘we’ won’t see fuck all of it. The club is like a seaside arcade coin pusher machine. Think Tipping Point if you’re struggling. What goes in is not what comes out in a tangible sense.

Yeah, good backup, especially now because he won't be asked to fart around with the ball as much.

Playing out from the back is not a strength of his, and not necessary for a Holloway team. Maybe, Bycroft wanted a move because of his ability was not being fully utilized. Bycroft is in my opinion is a decent enough goalkeeper as a shot-stopper and playing it out from the back but wasn't a good enough fit for this side including not consistently finding the front three with longer clearances. Too many long balls going out for opposition throw-ins seemed to occur. |
