That really is an absolute piss-take if that bid is for BOTH of them.

It was. And it's annoying as well because that right back we are after from them is a no go unless we offer Morrison in exchange. Fuck that.

1.2 Mill for two talented players?  Jokers. We should expect at least 2 mill for Coxy alone!! Idiots

That wouldn't make any sense at all, on our part! Good to see the board standing firm on their evaluation of Coxy. It's nice that there's a bidding war on one of our players for once!
Unless stupid money is being spouted, we must keep Morrison at all costs

Surely we can see morrison only signed a year so we get a better fee. If we get 2m plus cuthbert then thats a good deal imo

From the clubs perspective, if we cant keep Morrison for a proper season then it really does make a mockery of our youth policy.

From his perspective, if he can hold down a starting place for a season at Swindon then maybe if or when he does move, he wont have to be a squad player.

Thing is for me Morrison was brill last season...still a teenager if he progresses we could get big money for him...basicly clubs are trying to get him on the cheap because of dishing out for Cox,if Tozer and Lucas are worth a million than he is as well.

Id kinda like Cox to go to Celtic (if he has to go)because it would give me an interest in the Setanta games.Though not that cheeply obviously.

I think thats the max it could have been if they were playing regular first team now.

Think we do eventually Ben...point being surely hes worth a million just for his age and potential alone...we dont need to sell so unless its a big offer dont sell.,Fitton wants 2.5 for Cox so its at least 3 million with Morrison as well.

Fitton wants 2.5m for both. They both have 1 year left. You stop them joining a big club do you think they will sign new deals? No chance. As for mockery of our youth system thats rubbish. 3m for 3 players in two years is great busines at this level

Fitton wants 2.5m for both.

There is a 'direct' quote knocking about the TEF somewhere from AF stating that he values Cox at 2.5 Mil, however the very same article states that he wants 2.5 mil for both. Some shoddy reporting and a tad confusing.

Could somebody please clarify.
