Look I know I'm just a bloke on a forum, but I've heard from a mate who works within the Harrogate ranks that we've launched a big worth about £100k for Luke Armstrong. Hope this is true

16 goals in 51 appearances.

It's a long time since we've paid 100k for a player.

Approximately 37 weeks since we paid £100k for a player if rumours are to be believed.

But nobody with any sense actually thinks we paid £100k cash for hunt do they?

A fee, and add ons, promotion clauses, number of appearances maybe, but £100k cash - not a chance

Think the Russian misinformation campaign has reached the Fishy. (7th letter = G, 2nd = B)

"a mate who works within the Harrogate ranks" = "a bloke I know down the pub who claims to be ITK".

£100k = not enough. 2 years left on his contract, and a good age (26).

I'm calling BS on this one, Vladimir/Bentley.

Has anyone considered that Luke Armstrong and many other players for that matters might have a release fee clause inserted into their contract?

Don’t assume the owner holds all the power. The truth is they rarely do unless it’s Harry Kane and you use your useless brother as your agent.

Luke Armstrong was getting attention before he signed his latest contract. I’d be amazed if he signed for 3 years without having a cast iron escape route put into the contract. And it will be a realistic fee for a L1 or L2 club to pay, so a £100,000 release fee activating 12 months after the contract was signed seems plausible.

I would imagine Luke Armstrong would have serious interest from league 1 clubs, we've got more chance of signing Louis Armstrong!

Tbf if we've offered at a value that activates a release clause then we've actually got a decent chance of signing him.

Dubious.

Other clubs paying higher wages than us will be in for him if he's got a low-price release clause.

(You can be certain his agent will broadcast the fact.)

You could be onto something actually - In 1951, "Gone Fishin'" was recorded by Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong - the signs were there all along!
