Chesterfield will want one of the biggest fees ever spent for a non-league player for Tshimanga, having spent circa 250k on him, and seen him score 22 goals in 25 games so far.

The "known" highest fees are below:
2012: Jamie Vardy - Fleetwood to Leicester -£1m
2020: Jack Taylor - Barnet to Peterborough - £500k (£1m with possible add-ons)
2012: Shaun Brisley - Macclesfield to Peterborough - £300k
2013: Joe Lolley - Kidderminster to Huddersfield - £300k
2007: George Boyd - Stevenage to Peterborough - £260k
2014: Marcus Maddison - Gateshead to Peterborough - £250k
2014: Lee Gregory - FC Halifax to Millwall - £250k

Yes we have a reasonable clout behind us, but that is a lot of money to spend on someone who has made 6 sub appearances in the football league so far in his career.

Do you see the common denominator here or a large percentage of it?

I think we need to confirm Browne to re-focus minds

 

[westyorkshireexile]

What do you reckon Yorkie? Still think we are dallying?

It won't be long now...

Seen no evidence to the contrary yet Berkie.

When you say "won't be long", how long do you mean? Are we talking today for a klaxon?

I'd be surprised if there isn't something announced within 24 hours. Not saying for certain, but i would be quite surprised! Watch this space.

Good lad Yorkie. Keep smiling .

Not good news about you Welsh boys not having ol Giggsy for the play-offs. Reckon you'll get over the line without him?

Thanks, you've made my day being called a lad and a boy at 78.

By the way, Eastwood is from the little town of Greetland where I now live.

KR didn't say no to Defoe. Says he was in a meeting in London yesterday, Defoe was in London on TalkSport yesterday...

Karl Robinson asked about Jermain Defoe links as Oxford United look to bolster squad

KARL Robinson would not be drawn on reports linking Oxford United with a sensational move for Jermain Defoe.

We might be needing a centre-back.
Blackpool to recall Thorniley is what I'm hearing.

Would be quite pathetic if they recall because we didn't play nice with CamBran. Hopefully the man ready to be announced is the Scottish CB we were linked with!

Not particularly bothered tbh .
Very petty on there part though , didn't get there way so throwing toys out of pram !

I'm sure Defoe is still a decent player but is he much of an upgrade on Taylor, if at all? My worry, apart from him being 39 and not played this season, is that it wouldn't give us any more options apart from a like for like change with a different small striker who's a good finisher. We're very 1 dimensional and when the better teams figure that out we struggle, we're good enough to beat the physical teams who are crap like Fleetwood etc but crap teams don't make the playoffs, it's not much good getting there if it means we run into the same problems we always have with no way to change up our game.

Even KR mentioned after Blackpool we need more physicality and he's done nothing about it so far, I really hope that gets addressed ahead of Defoe.

Stuart Findlay?

I always assume this could be an issue. Leaves us very short if it happens but quality wise I don't think he's a massive miss, he's just a decent League 1 centre back. I wouldn't want to include him in any negotiations with Blackpool, he wouldn't cut it in the Championship and I've got doubts over how much he'll help us get there.

Maybe he will be sold to someone else

 

[androidyellow2]

Petty from Blackpool, i'd hope we'd just look for a new centre back rather than play their games.

 

[Oxford1996]

Critchley said they always want the best for their players a few weeks ago.. well that looks like a lie

If this due to the issue about CB then it's a shame but ultimately you can't let others hold you to ransom with things like this. If it is due to the CB issue then Blackpool are not showing themselves in a very good light.

Can’t see anything on their Forum although they still think they’re in with a shout for Cam
