ErnestTurnip Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Think he meant ching ching for Connell not us, his contract is up anyway and we will just get minimal compensation for him being a second year academy person or whatever they call it these days. We should really have sold him when there was interest in the last window but it was a decision that was never going to be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK dons had a big transfer fee we wouldn’t meaning it would work for all parties. Good luck to him, don’t blame for wanting out but if he was one of the ones who didn’t fancy playing forest would you want him back on loan?

Leyther_Matt Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I would imagine they’d want to loan him to a club nearer to London and one with more of a footballing reputation (unless we pot Parky). But yeah we’ll get a minimal transfer fee because he’s a second year scholar and hasn’t signed a professional contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See this is where yet again, for whatever reason, we've appear to have fucked up in the transfer market He's playing first team games, looks a good prospect yet he's not even signed a pro deal If not, why not?

No, but if he's not even on that and not been paid in weeks you can see why he might think twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it was late, but before the pros. If he'd been offered £1k a week he'd have probably signed in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 We'll probably get around 300k in training compensation. The best offer we got for Luca was £250k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birch-chorley Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 £300 a week isn’t even NMW is it? We pay cleaners in the hotel more than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyther_Matt Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Let’s not forget that he only came in to the team by virtue of the writing being on the wall, so naturally by that point the ship had sailed in terms of being able to offer much of a contract. Agent has landed incredibly lucky that he’s had the exposure of first team action but at a stage where it was too late for us to tie him down.
