I’m sure they are in deep shit with regards to FFP so they may not be in any position to make an offer.
Wasn’t he linked with Villa? They also need to cut costs.
He should stay and continue to develop at a higher level next season.
It’s come from Twitter accounts with 50 followers and various spelling errors in their tweets - not the best source
I've just read through Agent Sam's twitter, and it's fair to say he's been incredibly, and in our case depressingly, accurate with most of his twats.Fl transfers, over 2000 followers and major on midlands football.

Realistically if derby offer 1.75 million we won't turn it down. There might have been a deal agreed weeks agoI can't see it being a done deal just yet. The fact he went on holiday straight away and wasn't on the bus added fuel to the rumors but it looks like a couple of other youth players went as well.
Just to keep things in perspective, and this isn't taking things away from Bayliss and what he's achieved, but he's performing at League 2 standard, he's not a world beater (yet). Secondly, we're a League 2 club, not a Championship (now Premiership) club backed by a billionaire who also owns an NFL franchise or a man who owned an F1 team. Basing what our players are worth compared to who was sold elsewhere is flawed because we're a club that wants to break even, and rely on player sales to make up some of the shortfalls in our budget. Meanwhile, these Championship clubs have far more financial backing than ourselves so, frankly, can push up prices on their unproven youngsters.
Another example - up to £4m for a player who had played 1 game for Fulham.
Everton sign teenager Dennis Adeniran from Fulham
Josh Bowler - £1.5m up front rising to £4.25m - 1 game for QPR.
Josh Bowler completes £4.25m move to Everton from QPR
Bayliss has played 30 games. We should be looking for a minimum of £2m up front.
The stupid wages offered to the likes of Thomas, Stevenson etc. Just to be loaned out immediately or stifled playing in the buying clubs U23s just makes it an impossible situation for the club....
Remember bassala sambou? Zero league appearances for us, but Everton allegedly paying him 3k per week over 3 years to play in their under 23s.....whats a club to do?
So, I reckon bayliss will end up at Leicester and Madisson is moving up to Everton.....
Bayliss should look at players like him who have disappeared before moving on
tbh most people prefer to look at 0's at the end of their bank balance.
Saying he's worth £500k is well below the mark imo. Derby fans seem to think we rejected £1.2m in January for him and with promotion and potential incoming from Maddison we're in a lot stronger position this time around. Derby would be a better move for him as he'll be around the first team and get to learn a thing or two from Lampard but, if he's going to leave, I'd like him to go to Leicester. As a Premier League club we can demand more and also request a loan back and a go on George Thomas for the season.
I think Thomas would be perfect in Robins' 4231. His a wide playing goal scorer and improved immensely when Robins came in.Norwich is a good fit for Bayliss we could become their feeder club like Southampton to Liverpool.
I wouldn’t want to see Thomas come back as he wouldn’t get in unless he has improved a lot I thought he was very limited

McNulty
Thomas - Andreu - Jones
That's mouth watering.
Really? I wouldn't say he'd be a shoe in by any means but he'd definitely add quality to the squad. Given we only have 2 wingers on our books I'd say someone of Thomas' ilk would play a crucial role in team.
He isn’t going to come here in league one to be a squad player and he isn’t good enough to guarantee a starting place
Last season in all competitions he played 2,516 minutes and scored 9 goals for us. That's just over a goal every 3 games. Consider that it was his breakout season and he needed time to adjust to the mens game then it's good enough for me, particularly for a wide player.He is hiding those goals well according to wiki 5 in 42 games for us (probably has some cup goals as well)
1. We are a League 1 side
2. He hasn't looked out of place against Premier League teams last season either. The guy is destined for the upper echelons...
3. With the Maddison deal brewing we are hopefully in a position where we don't have to roll over and have a side tickle our tummy for a season. We can call the shots for a change. If a championship side wants him then they need to be paying over the odds. If a PL side wants him then we need a season long loan back, along with the same again if we bink another promotion (can dream can't I!)
Personally I could see him starting over Shipley. Not every game mind you but he'd by no means simply be a squad player.
With jones and Andreu plus the new guy in Shipley May have limited game time next year
Shipley has improved massively. This was his first season in the team and added some goals (5 ish?) to his game and is only 20 years old. Ability wise he is different style of course to Bayliss, but I can't believe some of you are ready to write off one of our own kids so quickly and yet 'big up' but about the unknown and those playing at a lower level. I'd be looking to start in August with as many of that first XI who started at Wembley and are still here. They've earned the right (imo) to keep the shirt until proven otherwise.
Yep I don’t understand the criticism of Shipley! What more could he have possibly done this season?
He’s got a wand of a left foot, reads the game well, has a strong range of passing, gets in advanced positions and gives the side really good balance. I look forward to seeing more of him next season.

Not that it matters because there's no chance of him coming here, but Thomas would walk into our starting lineup
Ironically when Everton bought Ade Lookman their up and coming Academy lad Nathan Holland thought that meant he'd been overlooked so he joined West HamEverton obviously need to do a bit of work on their academy all they seem to do is buy players for it

He was on the fringe of the first team there last season when he did his ACL but he's on the way back and should feature in their pre-season
This seems to be the way with Premier League teams, they prefer to buy other club's young players instead of trusting their own
yeah i am known as shipleys biggest critic amongst friends but no doubting he had a good season and has potentialShipley has improved massively.

With the standard of the Championship increasing, and the success of young players like Maddison and Sessegnon (and others), I can see the Championship being a preferred destination for young players in the coming years. For young players, the Premiership is actually not that good a destination because first-team opportunities are so rare.
