Well I hope the deal includes cutting short the season-long loan spell of Adam Rooney, not going to cut it at SN1 I am afraid. Where are Birmingham getting the cash, selling Butland to Liverpool I guess? What will the fee be, good players like Caddis should command at least 500,000.

Also, if they sell Butland, does that mean Lucas will be their number one?  |

Hardly a shock but the thing is that where he was and should be worth £400-600k he's likely to be sold for half that figure because of the way he left us, I just hope that's not going to be the case.

Seems we have been shafted on the Jonathan Smith deal as well. Bought him from York, paid his contract up and gave him back to York, they are now selling him to Luton for £50,000!! |

Hmmm. Think our club is developing a bit of a reputation for being easy to exploit in the transfer market. Ripped off by the tribunal over Henville and Collins, unable to muster fees for Connell, Smith and a few others who'd proven themselves as regulars in a team that coasted to the Lge 2 title, no doubt Benson will go on a free and Caddis probably disappearing on the cheap. Amazing the contrast with the early years of the Fitton reign. That man was a tough negotiator in the transfer market. |

I thought we got a fee for Smith? Thought it was only Connell who's contract we payed up...

Smith left on a freebie I believe. |

Why would we have paid their contracts up? Surely we just let them go on a free transfer?

Because they wouldn't agree to go on a free transfer if they still had a contract to run...they agree to go only if they get paid up..if a player still has a year to go on say 4 grande a week he aint going no where on a free transfer unless he gets a big hike in wages.
The fact you are leaving on a free means that you are not going to get that hike in wages in most cases.
Usually the club and player will come to a mutual agreement....sometimes they dont....i remember Cobian sitting tight on a contract for a fair while before moving on(think it was Cobian)

I'm not sure why there was such a rush to get rid of Smith and Connell. They were more than adequate squad players until we could have got some sort of fee for them.
