I just don't get this 'hardcore' more supportive St Andrew's crowd. Where I sit a lot of the people around and about are far more negative than anything I heard at the Ricoh.

Also McCallum is far from the finished article and can make the odd error/poor pass etc. I don't think it'd take too many for some fans to get on his back and see how he deals with it.
Differences are: in Brum we've largely got a 'hardcore' support who are probably less likely to do so compared to the more casual fans we'd also get at the Ricoh and we've got a ready made replacement in Mason to come in should it happen. Plus McCallum seems more level headed than Maddison, but that doesn't mean to say he won't have one eye on being at Norwich which may affect his concentration.
If we've got £3-3.5m before add-ons etc that is a good price.
Indifferent about the loan back as we have Mason waiting in the wings but what if Mason got injured or struggled to recapture his early season form? as I said above at least if McCallum does seem to have his head elsewhere (although I don't think it will be) it's not vital to our team like Maddison was as we've got a good ready made replacement and in training etc it's squad continuity.
He wasn’t on contract there. They asked for a friendly but we declinedLooking the other way, I hope Herne Bay had a sell on clause. I know it does us out of money but we got him for nothing and then have made a tidy profit on him. The footballing pyramid needs money to filter all the way down through deals like this.
Even something like a 5% clause would get them a decent whack which would probably cover their wages for a season.
Well if they will spend 4 million quid on will griggWhat I was trying to say was they’ve took a loan out that if they don’t pay back they lose absolutely everything even though the loan is 10% of the asset base - their finances are totally fucked
Would Bigi, Stevenson, Thomas or Cian Harris have commanded better fees in two years after we sold them?

Just seen Cian Harries has signed for Bristol Rovers for an undisclosed fee.
Corrected it for youPSB Duo reckon if we get promoted then all of our players raise in value
I'd say in Maddisons case it was the fact he was a local lad and had been hyped as a future star as a 16 year old, came in and stood out then left prematurely that upset people. He was already idolised by the kids, I know when maddison left it broke my then 5 6 old old heart. I dont think McCallum has the same pull, plus we have mason who was probably player of the year before he lost his place, whereas maddison left a big creative black hole.Not sure of that.

He'll be shite there, not a kick it and head it centre back like they play with
The new manager is trying to change the style, Harries fits with what he's trying to do.He'll be shite there, not a kick it and head it centre back like they play with
Seems to me there is a lot more frothing about 'frothing' than there is actual frothing.Every player sold attracts the same general opinion of asset stripping. Clarke Harris is likely to go for over £1m today which is poor business on our part as we gave him away yet oddly this will get no negativity
I remember him up against Akinfenwa when he was with us and had him in his pocket, he can deal with that kind of thing.

The Semi? You watched a different game to me
Love this.
So he had Akinfenwa's semi in his pocket that he 'dealt with'?
Waste of time though. Who are we developing him for now? Mason and Newton until the end of the season.
Love this.
Perhaps McCallum and the rest of the squad were training in Norwich.I believe Mr Davenport.

He's already got his January loan.one question now though, will MR have any of the money for a cheeky January loan
Of course, the Telegraph are pushing it as "Robins annoyed at being forced to sell McCallum" to get people worked up.
Selling academy players to cover losses playing out of the city is criminal....Baylis £2m McCallum £3m
we should be in a position to go out and draft 1 or 2 in that will see us comfortably win the division.
Absolute mess !
Thought that myself especially as he’s selling academy players for money £5m worth and he can’t use it he won’t be around forever with that carry on,again he should be out drafting players in today if we don’t go up people will say we was in the position in jan and we didn’t take the gambleTBF Robins did sound pretty annoyed.

Yeah sell them fair enough we’ve took £5m what’s he had of that ? Godden cameWe are a league one club ffs it's what happens, also bayliss money went on godden and the signing on/loan fees for players we signed in the summer
Robins has also said he will get some of the money in the summer.... Of course we have to cover losses, what would you rather, we sign up to a deal at the Ricoh that could cause the club to not exist? The situation sucks massive balls but we couldnt have accepted what wasps asked for otherwise the whole club would be potentially fucked... hopefully we get back there next season but has to be on terms that favour us not just wasps
