Well that'd be roughly 6 months at Cat 1 paid for. And given we've gone down we've got to expect to lose a couple of players to bigger teams.

I'm sure my son can find out if its true tomorrow at school....one of the academy lads might be willing to talk, maybe even Luca himself.

Stranded Mail reporting that Luca Fletcher is likely off to Man City - talks ongoing with a fee of around 1m mooted in the report.


Bit of a shame that this type of thing can happen in football - only good thing is that £1m is a decent sum of money and I hope we put a massive sell-on fee in the agreement as well. Feels a shame when someone like this comes through the academy and is sold before they can even make a first team appearance.


Surely EPPP means they can get him for a fraction of that price?

That only applies to a player not under a professional contract, we might have already tied him down to a pre-contract agreement, hence why we can ask for £1m

1m with a sell on fee would be great.

Good luck to him, can’t turn down the chance to work the Man City coaches and the money would come in handy

On a tangent, properly bored already. No new manager or players linked yet. I know that’s far from being an issue but still need something of interest to happen

Kieran Lee released by Bolton. Would want us to be all over that.

Then we almost certainly lose CBC. I'd rather give the young lad a go. Big big talent.

Only if his wage is realistic and doesn't eat too much of our budget

Yeah I would be ok with him coming back, he should be a decent L1 keeper

But not a priority.

Completely disagree, 22/30 for save % last season, 51/51 for Expected goals conceded, first stat excludes keepers who haven't made enough appearances, lowest had 16 games.

I just don't think he's very good at all.

Not a particularly good keeper in a season where he, mostly, cut out the stupid errors that had previously blighted his career.

Good enough for L1, but young enough he'll block CBC and Andresson. I can't see his wage demands matching his ability.

We could do worse, but we should be trying to reduce the number of failures from last season in our squad, not increasing them.

Big fat no thanks from me.

And his stupid timewastimg is annoying.

If the Wilder rumour does end up being true then given he was the manager that shifted him out on loan to us last summer, I doubt there would be much of an appetite to bring Lumley in.

That would be more credible if we were still Championship, but L1 is a different level and you're looking at a different quality for L1 promotion vs Champ promotion.
