Caddis & Ritchie......

The last one was rumoured to be 760k, but that was just from a B'mth forum

The thing is Bournemouth are a step down in club even if they are a step up in leagues. Ipswich aren't.
So lets hope the players would see our promotion/Wembley prospects in the same way us fans do (wishful thinking probably).

I guess not much more to say, we'll just have to cross everything until Feb 1st.

If they want to go we'll know that it's just about cash for them and not for any sort of personal achievement

[Power to people]

You have to remember both players will have sell on clauses to their previous clubs so that will bump up their value slightly, we also have to remember we are a L2 club at the moment and theoretically still a selling club, most clubs are selling clubs at the right price though,  if a club - I suspect not Ipswich - offered decent money for Caddis probably around £1.2m plus add ons and sell on and Ritchie £1.75m plus add ons and sell on then that would have to be considered.

I would be extremely shocked though if we sold 1 and or both in this window though, we are building a promotion side and if either went it would de-rail it I suspect that the extra money we are getting in this season from sponsorship etc though helps mean we do not HAVE to sell anyone to cover our losses for the season.

The other to worry about is Ferry he is also intergral to what we are doing at the moment

Every club in Britain is a selling club if the price is right or the player wants out, even Man U.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

I reckon there are only two clubs in the world who are not selling clubs - Real Madrid and Barcelona.

I'm sure there's no one on here who does not accept that they will go at some point. It's just that now is not the right time and there's no need for them to go now.

Both players came here for first team football...and that is what they are getting. Would they be playing regularly at Ipswich or another side?

I personally do not think they'll be sold this month, whatever the offer. Wray wants promotion back to L1 as soon as possible, and is more likely to spend money in the window to make us stronger than weaken us by selling Richie and Caddis.

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

Surely it makes for both the players and the club to bide their time and see what the situation is in the summer. We could be L1 and if we are then there will be Championship clubs sniffing around these 2. That would be the most ideal time for both to move on. If we don't go up then obviously they will move on regardless. Maybe if we do go up though they may even decide to stay if they feel we can mount a challenge for the Championship.

If they were to go now it wouldn't make a lot of sense. Not guaranteed football wherever they go and you just never know where the club they go to will end up (e.g. Ipswich would be a massive gamble as they could end up in L1 next season anyway). I just think it makes much more sense for them to see out the season with us and enjoy what will hopefully be a brilliant season and then look to move on in the summer.

They'll go if the right offer comes in, which it won't.

We're going to end up this transfer window stronger than we started it unless stupid stupid offers come in.  This has broken on a Saturday when the board arent going to comment until at least monday so a lot of people are commenting on these boards.

If offers are accepted we risk losing our highly emotional manager and all the progress that has been made.

I dont think its going to happen.

[Notts red]

If another employer told you they would double your monthly wages, bearing in mind you would have to retire before you were 40 it would be hard to turn down so if it came down to Caddis and Ritchie I wouldn't hold it against them.

I am sure PDC will not leave if the players leave for the right reasons / £. He understands the way footballers think

[Riddick]

Shit me, busy topic. Not read it all but isn't this all a rumor that's come about because we want Murray?! Sure there is nothing in it, selling now wont happen. If we dont get promoted then i'm sure both will be off in the summer

[chalkies_shorts]

The money on offer and move to Ipswich may not be availalbe in the Summer particularly if they get relegated. Go to Ipswich on treble the money, keep them up and become heroes in front of 20k plus a week.

[Notts red]

I agree more about the effect it would have on Paolo if the board did sell a player against his wishes. Seems a no brainer to me, Keep the best players and stand a really good chance of going up or sell and take a big gamble.
