You joke but I'm sure there are some thinking that very thing right now.
You joke but I'm sure there are some thinking that very thing right now.Our star striker as well.
Good luck to Stevenson, I don't begrudge him this move as clearly he wasn't progressing here any more and probably needed a move. I think he has a lot of potential though so hopefully Wolves can find something else from him.
I wouldn't be surprised if Reid plays for us again at some point this seasonCan someone push Reid down a well or something.
U23 football at any level is not as good as first team football, it's virtually non contact training matches. Won't do him or the others much good.Will be interesting in three years or so to see if any of Stevenson, Harries or Thomas have played for their respective clubs first teams.
Stevenson blathered on about it being a move to a massive club, think opinions may differ on that, and was moving to a great standard of development football. So good that they fucked him straight off to Colchester. Wonder how they will feel when Dad rings in sick for him.

Where has the figure of that loan fee come from?I seem to remember Clarke-Harris as a big scorer in youth team who was expected to do well but was released because of "issues". Then got himself in bother at one of the Northern clubs he went to. Hopefully he's settled down.
Robbins must rate him as to pay 125k loan fee & take on Championship wages (albeit Rotherham level) is pretty big money in L2.

Although we've just gotten one window out the way and this might be slightly presumptuous...I wonder will Robins have his work cut out for him this summer given the amount of players we could potentially lose?

It's obviously worst case scenario but there's a fair amount of players on that list at risk to go. Definitely shows we need to start getting contracts sorted sooner rather than later. What are people's thoughts? (also correct me if I've got any wrong or missed out any)
Barrett was hammering the U23 league, loads of goals and assists in the same League Stevenson will be going into.

Promotion is key. We have the core of a good league one team. If we don’t go up our better players will move onAlthough we've just gotten one window out the way and this might be slightly presumptuous...I wonder will Robins have his work cut out for him this summer given the amount of players we could potentially lose?

Don't the club have an option on DKE for another year?
I think this summer we will have the best core of players still we have had in a long while, not forgetting Jones and Andreu to return from injury. I like how you added in potentially sold just to get some actual first teamers in there(bar Doyle).
No dramas there will be a fresh pool of players out of contract up and down the country. After all it's his he built this side.
Most are under contract for another year so will require a fee if catching the eye of suitors.
Sensible business was done last summer I'd expect another summer of smart recruitment of contracted players.
Yeah, and look how unfit he looked when stepping up on Saturday
@bawtryneal Have they said anything about the Wage / if we are paying all of it?
The wage is paid via the "loan arrangement". This is how they get round FFP
So, RUFC continue to pay his salary until June 30th and then permanent two year contract with CCFC and wage paid by CCFC
He was on £10,800 per month at RUFC.
wtfStevenson i think will make it as a top championship in 3/4 years time.
League 2 football doesnt suit his game at all definately when we play on awfull pitch. He has the ball striking abilty to score wonder goals....he doesnt score tap ins.
Very very good technical player. Wolves imo have done their homework. Will watch his career with interest (sell on clause) good luck.

BawtryNeal has said that. He sponsors one of their kits because he loves them.
Exactly, I'm confident Robins and TW can repeat their success in the transfer market next season.
Not a bad wage for a player with one goal is it. I happen to think it’s a decent signing for us in league 2. Heart for the club and more his level. We
Must be paying only a fraction of it. 23 is a good age also.
Good business for me. Get rid of Stevenson who doesn’t play for 500k and then get JcH in for a fraction of it and a player and position we need more.
I think 500k is a steal in these times! I hope we have a lot of add ons and sell on % wrapped up as I believe he can be as good as Maddison. However playing for Colchester for the rest of the season will hopefully see him come on in leaps and bounds. However when he has been given his chance here he has not grasped it with both hands and disappeared when it starts ed to get a bit tasty in the midfieldSome people saying Ben went for £500k? Good business if it turns out to be true.
That’s bollocks, Conor Washington went from Peterborough to QPR that summer for 5 million and he’s well below Wilson’s level. Tottenham got Ali for a bargain £5mill because they paid cash upfront and not in installments. We should have got at least £5m for Wilson.
500k for the 4th choice midfielder from a 4th division team.I think 500k is a steal in these times!
