I agree

Hope so but if a big offer comes in don't see how we can refuse it and he has to think of his career. We knew it would happen and why we invested the ££ at the time

Got back at 1030, been a long day, sooooo very tired, driven for 11 hours, but god it was worth it!!! 😀😀😀😀😀 UTM!

Talking again of funny names:

When in the RAF we had 2 shift bosses working together  called WO Allcock and Flt Lt Biggie.

High praise for summerfield on plymouths forum

Unfortunately if an offer comes in for Omar, the decision to sell will not be in MB's hands. Got a nasty feeling that we had a warning about this at the Fan's Forum when JF stated that £300k has to be paid back to the bank. Went through my head again when we were knocked out of the FA Cup which ended any hopes of a money spinning third round tie, which would have been our only chance of raising that sort of cash. There's too much press about Bogle for there not to be a significant bid by at least one or two Championship clubs in January and by banging in the goals he's proving himself week by week. Omar would be a fool to stay while his stock is at its highest. Injury or a barren spell later he could miss the boat.

I'd love us to be in a position where we could turn big money down but the cold hard facts are we're not. If the worst happens the best we can hope for is that JF pays the bank off and gives the rest to MB to build his own squad, find another rough diamond like Omar and strengthen other areas of the team too. A deal done and loaned back to see the season out would be ideal.

It's not what we all want, but I think we need to be prepared for it..

I think you make a very good series of points there mate, unfortunately. If these events do indeed come to pass in January, then our only consolation might lay in hoping for some serious financial competition for his signature, meaning that we are able to offset the blow of the loss with several hundred thousand pounds at least. The thing to add though, is that there are some good strikers besides Omar in L2. If we asked for a big price, we might be able to deflect attention elsewhere, but, as always,much would depend on what the player wanted.

All of this is 'ifs and buts' though. For now, he's our player and doing brilliant!

Yeah sad to think about it really.

The only thing I will say is that if he plays well and scores a few more in the next few weeks, the offers will be in the seven figure bracket and maybe even starting with a two. Look at Kemar Roofe last season, £2.5m to Leeds. There's some serious dough in the Championship nowadays and some desperate clubs too..

Indeed, and if the player is happy to stay until the end of the season, Town could ask for silly money in response to any bids in January.
