to add some additional context.

palmer and sheaf have asked for upgraded contracts. Bidwell will find out next week if he’s staying or leaving.

King wants 500k for Godden and Charlton haven’t matched our valuation
Sheaf definitely deserves one

Be nice if Palmer contributed with goals and assists to warrant that, although I appreciate when he’s on form he does make the team tick regardless of stats

Allow Godden to go for a nominal fee then let’s call Palmer’s bluff and see who’s interested in paying a fee for him. Promoted clubs perhaps

I would be happy to keep Palmer but I wouldn't be looking to give him a salary increase.

It would be great to keep Sheaf but I doubt if we can match what others will pay him, so I suspect he will be off. It may not be the end of the world if we get a good price and spend it well.

Anyone got any news? Thought we had a signing this evening? 😭

Nah you just got carried away with rumours! Anyway, even if the club has a done deal, they probably think we have had enough excitement for one week.

Let's face it, even if we get several signings in early, there will be fans who just expect us to keep signing someone as long as the window is open.

If Burnley pursue their interest in Camara then I think we will struggle to match the wages they can offer and they might be regarded as a better bet for promotion.

It gives me no pleasure to say this, especially coming on top of the Stamenic saga, but we have to be realistic.

If he's a highly paid employee it's unusual for employees to require a payment to their employer to release them from a contract.
It is but most employees don’t sign multi year contracts. They have a notice period.

in markets where that is not the case, the music industry for example, if a singer wants to leave their record company mid contract then compensation is paid.

Here’s how it boils down. 3 or 4 posters have the same source. Not Robins, Viveash or King but someone who can provide decent insight. The rest of us don’t have a clue what might happen. So no one is expecting 100% knowledge. But let’s not discourage insight/gossip as it’s a lot more fun than “we might sign concrete Rod Thomas etc” in the days when paying a transfer fee was a complete pipe dream.

Told the same as that, with the only caveat being that Robins is happy for Matty to go on a free due to how good a servant he's been for us and Doug as you say wants cash
Which King has every right to do. There’s no sentiment in football or business. Godden is an asset at the end of the day and we should be trying get as big a fee as possible for him.

Giving Sheaf a new contract in line with the top earners should be a no brainer, given it will only strengthen our negotiating position next year if we don’t go up.

I really hope we don’t give Palmer a new contract

Can’t imagine Sheaf wanting longer on his contract with us but if it means he gets more immediate money then fair enough but don’t make sense if we whack another year or two on

I’d prefer JDS be the one out the door instead of Bidwell

Godden gets goals so fair enough to aim for £500k cause for the goals he gets in L1 that’s fair but I’m sure his will take £350k if they get a bit closer than wherever they might be currently

Looks like someone should have had a medical then… wonder who that might be if people are suggested Camara isn’t as far down the line as we thought

Also, why is everyone so keen to be the one who knows stuff first? seems a strange thing to feel smug about, just that someone tells you stuff...

I don’t know, when I said we were signing someone from NAC Breda and wasn’t 100% sure if what I was fed was bullshit, let me tell you, when Kastaneer turned up I felt great and absolutely a little smug.

You either look like a guy who has connections or like a complete prick, no inbetween. So there’s a relief when it comes together
