Kamil Conteh

Quoted from Jammin242

More chance of him being Alan Partridge

A Ha!

I hope he doesn't leave but it's quite plausible that he has a release clause. He'd had a great loan, was clearly above the level, clearly fancies he's got the ability to play higher.

3 year deal gives him some security, release clause means that if he really shines he will get his move.
I'd love to see him stay, as I think he's going to be a really fantastic player. He's already improving, noticed in recent games he's driving forward with his head up and has made some great long range forward passes that weren't happening before.
I think we might have a struggle though as the data fans will know he has made the most tackles and interceptions of anyone in the division. That will not go unnoticed by other clubs.

I'd also add it's brilliant work from the club and Joe whatshischops. He's either signed us a quality player for 3 years or he will have paid his own wages back to the club for years by getting Conteh in.

I’ve no inside info but we might have bought him for 200k or we might have a 250k release clause, but I absolutely guarantee both won’t be true.

One way to look at this would be to ask what would Bristol Rovers be capable of paying and does that make what has been said here likely. Thought not relevant today there record transfer fee paid was £446k for a certain Andy Tillson over 30 years ago . More relevant the most they have paid in modern times is £350k last summer for Connor Taylor a 21 year old centre back from Stoke with few league appearances. So being capable and willing to pay a similar fee for Conteh is clearly a possibility and that sort of fee could well be more then specified in any release clause. So if they want him and he wants to go a deal looks probable. Also worthy of note is that he is London boy who only spent one year in Middlesbrough so a move down south is also on the cards. Our best outcome might be a bidding war if a south eastern club is interested.This is merely an attempt at logic no inside knowledge.

Quite right. If we paid 200k with the view to developing him as a player (and the expectation that he would be moving on before the end of his contract), I can't see any way that a release clause would be less than double what we paid.

I tend to doubt he'll move anywhere this season as, though he's done well in lots of games, we're in the bottom half of the division and not many of his performances have proved game-changing. As others have commented, it's a bit different for attackers who can start scoring or creating goals to get themselves noticed, but sitting in midfield breaking up and linking play is a less glamorous role.

That's the mistake I made Herve - there is no bidding war (except for clubs talking to Conteh and his agent); the club meets the release clause and he's gone (so long as he agrees terms with the club)

in other words; teams A,B, C&D are all after Conteh, and each agree to pay the release clause. The only thing that remains to be tied up is which club Kamil agrees to go to

You have absolutely no idea of what's in his contract though do you.

It’s perfectly possible to have a release clause which says if more then one party meets it the club can accept the highest bid .

Absolutely- I don’t think AP & JS got where they are from being niave!! They’ll have this all wrapped up as it would have been all part of the plan.

We aren’t dealing with Fenty anymore!!
