As much as it would be a shame to see Koiki go and as much as it seems odd to say, im happy to see our club starting to develop players and get decent fees for them. Its the best way for us to then be able to hopefully invest those fees into better quality additions.
Obviously its not going to be anything like the Goode fee, but if we could get say 300k + a good sell on % for what was expected to be a back up LB when we brought him in one year ago is good business in my mind.
Koiki was great for us and I think still has plenty of room to develop. But his best asset in my mind is his ability to use his strength and close dribbling to escape from difficult defensive positions, along with his bursting runs up field. With that being said he contributed 1 goal and 2 assists all season (in a hugely defensive team in his defence), so his actual offensive output was not that great in the end.
I definitely think he will continue to improve, but we have Haynes who seems to have been an acceptable LB at this level for a few seasons now. If we can use this money on a quality addition further up the field (even if its just big wages, not a big fee) then I think thats a good move for all.

Well said, I agree entirely with all of that. |

The big question is will we reinvest any of the fee ? We sold Goode for £1M, I didn't expect us to reinvest all of that but I did expect us to reinvest some of it, which I don't think we did.
I agree with selling him and getting a fee when he can walk away for nothing next year but only if we reinvest at least some of the fee.

I know it’s hot but if that is aimed at me then you are very wrong. That was Mr Mysterious and I championed McGowan from the start, still do and hope he makes a top recovery - do you?
I think you need to check your dates on that one… |

Joe Lolley winger at forest told he can leave, what a signing that would be… not sure he would drop down to League Two though  |

He’s not the player we need to be concerned about .Look elsewhere

Guthrie obviously. Every bit as good as Goode, £1m or they can fuçk off. |

Stop playing games and just tell us what you know. I think you really enjoy getting everyone worried to be honest. |

The only players who I could imagine that would attract interest would be Guthrie and Pinnock and it would be catastrophic to lose either of them so close to the season. As the saying goes either s**t or get off the pot. |

It would be good if he did. Unfortunately, I think we both know him too well and he'll continue with I may know something and you don't game. |

If he feeds on reactions, then stop rising to his bait. As the Meerkat said : simples. |

Plenty of rumours doing the rounds.Was told today that the Club had received no offer at all for Kioki. Now we have rumours on Guthrie, that for me is an astonishing revelation! |

Tyler Magloire wanted by Hartlepool.
He's better than Hartlepool. I thought he was really settling down with us before his injury Just as an aside - was Guthrie one of those teasing Fraser about his reason for moving to Stockport. If not, perhaps there is a clue there. |

How do you possibly quantify this Rog? |

Looking at the accounts for year ending 30 June 21, we made a profit for the year of £127k and the profit on player trading was £976k. So we don't know exactly the fee we received for Goode, but let's say £1million. So without the Goode transfer it would have a circa £900k loss. This was the season where we could not attend due to COVID, a d fans were lease keen to donate their season ticket money. So if additional funds were spent on transfer fees and wages, it would have meant another loss and adding to the loan from the directors, which the Trust are not happy about. 'Loading debt on the club' to quote a few prominent trust members So what do people want? A benefactor quite possibly. Someone to write off money owed to them. We haven't got one. |
