If I had the benefit of hindsight I’d be worth at least 4 times as much as I am now, just saying.

Yeah, I know what you mean. 30 years ago I nearly bought a house around the corner from me. But it was £500 over my budget. About ten years ago, they sold the bottom half of their extensive garden, and built four flats on it. With off road parking. Hindsight. Tis a lovely thing.

You have the benefit of hindsight, it's foresight that helps.

The club has probably tried all it can to get Caleb to sign a new contract but it maybe in his own best interest not to sign. If he goes we no doubt will get less for him if he is out of contract leaving him with a potentially larger signing on fee.

Jay Williams was offered £200 pw, if Caleb was offered anywhere around that mark no wonder he didnt sign a contract

Jay Williams offered £200 pw? How reliable is the source of this information?.

Caleb is only 18 years old.....I wouldn't have said the offer would be as low as £200 per week, but I wouldn't think that it would be that much higher either.
Prospect he may be, but he's only started one league game, and lower league clubs never pay "prospects" a lot of money if they're not in the starting line up......
Short-term we're much more likely to want to cash in, even if its only 100k we get for him that money will be seen as far more important than maybe having a good saleable player on our books in two years time.

I think this sums up the mindset of our owners in a nutshell.

I don't think coparing Caleb to Jay Williams is at all relevant as they are travelling in opposite directions. Jay has dropped 3 rungs down the ladder and is now at Kettering whereas Caleb will be moving up. Who knows how much we have offered him?, but it will not be as much as an established first team player and no doubt he will get better offers from bigger clubs.

I would imagine KC would have a lot of impact on how much we offer Caleb, if Curle sees him as an important player going forward then it makes sense for the club to make him a reasonable offer as he would be a big asset as opposed to the peanuts we would get if he leaves at the end of the season.

Yep looks like the Stevenage website went early by accident 1 of 3 signings for them with Matty Stevens and Luke Norris
Nice bloke, was ok last year but we can use that squad spot better at his age

There is a screenshot on Facebook which looks to be from their official site, however the article is (no longer) not on the site!! Nothing from our end yet.

That’s 3 very decent players for league 2 - didn’t they get the memo that the season’s not going to end?

Yeah, it's official. I wonder if that's enough to keep Holmes, or whether we need a few more spaces first.
