You've missed the final 2 steps Media photos Player b*ggers off and signs for a different club At least I think that's how it work
I think the " fan " rumour was he failed a medical, but Cowley the Colchester manager said the deal ended due to the financial structure of the deal. He came on as a 64th minute substitute on Saturday so he's obviously fit.
Failed his medical then Luton wanted to renegotiate the deal to continue to pursue it and colchester said no so it fell through
Whilst he was top of my list this summer, I don’t see how we’d afford him. And even though we need another forward, if we are to spend money on a new player, I think I’d prefer that to go on a centre half.
The asking price put us off we offered 600k first offer second offer of 700k went in and then we haven’t been back in since think we only revisit that if someone pays silly money for DKD
Connor would prefer to bring another wide option by all accounts Jordan Thomas expecting another bid in this week think we are just playing thr long game with that one seeing just how much money we can knock off his release clause tactical negotiation similar to DKD last year we made 6 bids overall
Lopata and Nwakali don’t have futures at the club Connor wants a wide man and another Expereinced central option to be a like for like replacement for Roberts
A player of that quality there’s always interest but only been one bid for him and it was 5 million rising to 6 with add ons and was rejected
Loads of reasons to fail a medical and also loads of examples of players failing a medical at one club but passing at another and going on to be very successful.
Thanks for all the updates there Luca. The only thing that concerns me is we're not looking at another striker incoming when really we only have DKD & Didzy which at the moment we're starting together in the front 3 with you Farrell on the bench. Have you heard anything on if we're looking at a striker or is it this Thomas and that's the forward line done with ?
Think Connor likes versatility both cleary and Vickers can also play up front and Thomas can play left and ride side and also as a number 10 besides Tovide haven’t heard anything about an out and out striker
That's fair. As long as we can get that centre half in, think well have had a good summer. Thomas would be a bonus.
If we've rejected a £5m bid out of hand, I'm both amazed and seriously impressed. More than 5x what we paid a year ago?
