If he has a good 2nd half of the season in league 1 then maybe he'll be on the move again in the summer.

Living around a fishy fanny smelling dilapidated shithole like Grimsby, or living in a city like Bristol, not a hard choice really is it.

No need to bring my wife's problem into this discussion.

They can’t afford him

Mad how they can and did pay his release clause. Town fans always ITK 🤣

Quoted from aussiej

It seems like we initially paid £100k for him to Middlesboro.
We now pay Middlesboro a sell on clause percentage of  25% of £300k which is  £75k.
We receive £300k from Rovers and make £125k profit plus sell on clause of 20%.

Great bit of business. I hope we keep up this model of buying good young players and reinvesting.

It's a good model to follow and this is a good start, but in the long run it needs to play our more long term with players sticking around for at least a season and a half before moving on. Otherwise there's constant disruption to the first team if we're losing people six months after they join. But either way, hopefully it's given the club confidence to go out and invest in more young players.

Unfortunately, where the big clubs lead, the rest eventually follow. Release clauses in league 2 are pretty rare I would have thought, but may be the start of something.

We gave him a 3 year deal which puts the club in a strong bargaining position usually, but the release clause made it impossible to keep him beyond 6 months  once someone was prepared to pay and the player wanted to go.

I was having a miserable Victor Meldrew moment, I'm usually quite positive, hate it when we lose players. I would have thought he might have got a bigger club to be honest. Maybe we now can bring 2 or 3 extra new players that we might not have had a chance to or something.

To be fair listening to the Bristol  Rovers reporter on RH last night they’ve lost 3 MF players pretty much in the space of a week so this may have come earlier than anticipated for Town.

Certainly wasn’t claiming to be in the know, just didn’t realise he had such a low release clause at that point.

And the fact that 2 or 3 other clubs were apparently sniffing around ( wonder if his agent or GTFC let that info be known🤔?)I think they replicated what we did in the summer and dived in quickly, paying more than was originally intended, in order to secure the deal.The circumstances are almost identical

Ps those wishing hed stayed till the summer; the way he plays it's easy to see he could sustain an injury that would leave us without a player and a hefty amount of money
