I agree with the basis of that comment but what I was meaning was that we are not desperate for the money and to make us sell now would probably need a £1m+ bid to tempt us.
If we keep him here then we may get promoted and then he may sign back on, who knows.
I read somewhere that a tribunal would be likely to award at least the same or similar amount as any offer that was made for him in the last 6 months leading up to the tribunal. Can’t remember where I read it though, think was on some Swansea newspaper site…
In order to get any compensation from the transfer, we have to have evidence that we offered Joe an extension / new contract and that he turned it down in favour for his future club. If we have told the player that they are being released / not offered a deal (normally happens at the end of the season) then we wouldn't get anything (just like the Premier League teams at the end of the season).
Well in that case we may as well put a contract extension on the table now then. If Joe accepts the contract then that would be superb but should he reject it, which I suspect he would at the moment, then we would be covered as per @Otter87 explanation.
Perhaps there is some parallel universe in which we don’t intend to offer him a new deal, but I suspect that in this universe he has already been offered one.
Agreed. This isn't the hardy volunteers running the club days, this is ruthless business people who will know exactly what to do to protect their asset.
And it sounds great news that we can get a fee offered but delay it 6months!
Does anyone know the status of us being able to sign any more foreign players?
I read somewhere - and I’ll be honest I don’t know if this is real rules or arbitrary Football Manager style rules and I misread the post - that our two new Danes were signed on ESC work permits of which we only have 2 of as a league 1 club.
These ESP permits cannot be converted into “proper” work permits until after September meaning any other foreign players can only be signed if they comply to standard work permit rules in a post brexit world (i.e. British ancestry, have enough points from playing at a high enough level in world football etc)
Apparently we get more ESC slots if we’re promoted to the championship, however.
Anyone know the rules around this and we’ll have to expect less exotic signings for the rest of the window?
Think you've summed it up well, those esc places are bonuses, if we have used them we have to sign only players with a legal right to be here anyway or international players so good that they qualify for one that way.
I wasn't aware that any club had to make themselves open to offers. Offers can be made and accepted or rejected. I would have thought that in every case the size of the offer would play a major part in the level of consideration.
This is a transfer rumour on a thread about transfer rumours. If you don't want to see transfer rumours then I think you are looking at the wrong bit of the gasroom.

The dream is going up and he's happy to sign on again.
But at least if he did leave we'd have a fee. Not quite sure how those are set, assume there is some tribunal system still?
because he's out of contract in the summer?
Only 5 months left on his contract that's why.
If he had 18months then the offers would be 7 figures.
We do get something for him when he leaves in the summer owing to his age, evidently - anyone know how that works or how much it would be?

Ah cheers for the explanation, both of you!

I would certainly hope so.
Elon Musk thinks we're living in a simulation so who knows.
This must be a record season for rumours.
I’ve no idea if any thread on the Gasroom has ever reached half a million views within a single season before but this one is getting close.
Agreed. This isn't the hardy volunteers running the club days, this is ruthless business people who will know exactly what to do to protect their asset.

However, the thread was started in 2023 I believe @micra by our friend @Otter87 .
Aaah, hadn’t realised that. Hope when the time comes @Otter87 claims the credit. None of my threads exceed a season.
Crama has joined Millwall.

Does anybody here subscribe to Alan Nixon’s patreon? Wycombe features today but no suggestion if it’s an incoming or an outgoing transfer story.

We are open to offers for Kone according to this likely made up nonsense:

Look at his profile and number of followers, clearly fake

This is a made up Twitter account from a non-existent person. There was literally no point in sharing.

This is for transfer rumours correct. Not for sharing obviously made up Twitter accounts.
Rumour. Noun. a currently circulating story or report of uncertain or doubtful truth.
If you don't like things on the internet, just scroll past them
You have a point in a way, but you even said in your first post it was "likely made up nonsense".
So it has to be asked if it needed to be posted, or whether using your own idea above, just scrolling past it yourself.
