Yes sorry was taking that off BBC RS not Adver. The Adver article definitely says "if.." so either BBC are in the know or missunderstood what PDC said.
There was a rumour on OBIT that the Slave Traders were tabling a cash plus player deal - but the radio said it was a league 1 club..
Yeah, I was guessing PDC meant L1 standard players, so it could have been City! The only L1 club will silly money is Bournemouth. |

BBC wilts said two players plus 900k.
I thought they said the offer was £900,000 made up of cash plus two players, not £900,000 in cash. |

Keep him for another year, he's young enough to improve.
If he has another good season at League 1 level he'll attract interest from Championship clubs.

Something to do with Russian backers, some of their fans really do think they are just 2 years away from The Premier League. From what i remember, the chairmans wife did a half time team talk last season. |

Didn't their chairman go on the pitch all pissed up and told them to go support Southampton and offer to have a scrap with a fan? |

Sell him and sign Harry Kewell.
Certainly fell in to that one!  |

Hasn't Ritchie only got a year left on his contract? If so, either he signs a new one or we should take the money.

He would still be under 24 so we would still get a fee if he didn't sign a contract and left next year, although obviously not as much. I would imagine if we are well off the pace come January that is when we would look to cash in |

If we can get around 1.2 million for him I'd sell him. It's normally only strikers at this level that go for over a million.

Clearly the club has to protect its revenue potential on players and everyone has a price. Particularly players with 1 year left.
But I'm not sure selling for £1 million is worth more than a key player if you are serious about promotion. For me it has to be more than good money, silly money as pdc put it.
If this were January and we were well off the pace then I'd take it, though his worth would be lower then...

The way I look at it is will we be in a position to sell him for a higher price in the future? He has a year left on his contract, so if he doesn't sign a new one it will be Billy Paynter all over again. Or he might sign a new contract and either A: have a great season and increase his value, or B: have an awful season, we go down, and his value halves. It's all about taking a calculated risk.
