Coming from a decent source.

Hamer (wants to leave) - willing to accept around 20m for him with minimum 15m upfront

Souza (willing to stay) - but will accept 15-20mill for him

Peck (deal done with london based club) - 15m with a future fee of 30% and a bonus if they win a trophy in the next 2 seasons

Robinson - 1 year option triggered (by the player)

Burrows - (2 PL clubs enquired) club say not for sale

Cooper - (Leeds and another unnamed club enquired) club say not for sale

Choudhury, JRS, BBD, Gilchrist, Clarke, Holding all go back - club want to sign BBD permanently and Choudhury, but wages are unattainable for both

Brewster - rejected first 2 contracts put to him been negotiating for months, club want him to sign for another season

Campbell in talks to extend his contract

Players and staff were in this morning for 2 hours rosen also there and every player had a 5min 1to1 with him

Wilder committed to next season board backing him.

All players under contract due back in for pre season on June 30th

If this is all true...

Hamer - fine if the recruitment team can find someone to fill the creative gap*. Being available for more than 75% of matches and being able to play more than 75 minutes in those matches a definite bonus.

Souza - great news, too many question marks over him for anyone to risk £20m

Robinson - option was triggered when he made his 25th league appearance. This makes it sound like the player can choose to not renew and if he hasn't yet, the only reason would be that he's been told that he'll not be first choice here. He's not going to get an offer from a better team.

Cooper/Burrows - good news

Loanees - Brereton Diaz was miles off it from mid February. I don't know whether he was carrying a knock or something else was happening off the pitch but he was a shadow of the player we had on loan last season. I find it hard to believe, however, that we can find the likely £10m to sign him permanently but not the £30k per week wages. Choudhury is supposedly on £40k+ so it's not a huge revelation that we're not able to get close for someone who's good-not-great at Championship level

Brewster - is a tricky one. He's probably our highest earner but he's not the same player we signed. I'd be amazed if we're not trying to structure the offers as heavily incentivised on performances which he's probably unwilling to accept. That said, what better offer is he going to get? Someone mentioned SPL but he's probably not ready to throw it all away just yet

Campbell - do we need to extend his deal right now given he's got another 2 years?

On Wilder - if the owners and board are serious he should be on a very short leash with his influence limited to matchdays and a non-binding input into transfers*. We need to completely overhaul the conditioning and recruitment elements because on current evidence they're League One level at best.

*If we're signing players for the first team Wilder needs to be integrating them, not playing his favourites.

Club wish to extend Campbell contract.
Anyone know what contract is he currently on?
Three years from last August - so through to June 2027.

Well not entirely unexpected, but I'm surprised we were interested in BBD, overall I feel he's been disappointing.
Well be sad to see Peck go, would be nice to hold onto to our talent for once, ah well.
Agreed but this isn't the first time we've heard that Peck has pushed for a move. £15m plus 30% sell on and other achievable bonuses is a decent return for a first year pro. Arblaster coming back and hopefully Billy Blacker continuing his development will soften the blow; is there anyone out there doing something similar either for a PL U21s team or a smaller club's first team?
 
I hope the trophy bonus for Peck from a London based club isn't from Tottenham or Crystal Palace. Both shot their load this year and aren't going to win anything anytime soon.

Would be really sad to see him go. Feels like we were just scratching the surface of what he can be as a player and frankly, another year in the Championship wouldn't hurt his development.
 
I think I'd be most gutted about Peck going, tbh. Hamer is expected really.

After that, disappointing we are looking at new deals for Robbo and Brewster, but not unexpected.
 
Someone mentioned a few weeks back that Peck was going to a London club. Will be gutted when he's gone.

Arblaster really needs to pick up where he left off. We need to go up next season or Arblaster will be off as well.
 
Absolute bollocks that BBd one send him back we don't need him anywhere near.

As regards Robbo I sincerely hope that he's been told he's 5th choice as he is not good enough for a team challenging.

Brewster don't increase our offer thanks but no thanks pal. He should be paying us for the honour after all money he's had from us.

Re Hamer Peck and Co if they want to go, fuck off and get it done quick no dilly dallying about all summer "deciding" a la Illy.

Also get our transfer business done this side of pre season and get some testing friendlies arranged, not fucking about beating pub teams across Yorkshire
 
If you’re gonna be in the know try and be more believable.

There’s no way we’d accept £20m for Hamer. Maybe towards the end of the window but he’s got 2 years left on his deal, we can demand £25m.

There’s no way Souza’s enthusiastic about staying. I can only see it as a possibility if there’s absolutely no interest.

I can’t see Peck having already agreed to go. I also can’t see £15m w/ favourable clauses. He’s not particularly young or particularly excellent. I doubt we could get any more than £10m.

It’s possible but I also doubt that the board has already decided to back Wilder.

I also doubt all this has been agreed already.
 
God Robbo staying .... bloody liability. Suppose he will be Wilders guard dog ... hope theres more discipline at the club going forward after all those fines!

If we insist on 20m for Hamer and especially bloody Souza we won't sell either

Any offers to Brewster should be withdrawn and he should be released

If true - Hamer Everton ( already agreed in principle with agent but fee to be decided ) and Peck West Ham I believe
otherwise isnpiring recruitment NOT
 
Anel in Copenhagen and Cooper on way to ibiza so can't see how players have been in
They ran back just for today pal. Rosen said he knew a guy that does the marvel films and if they showed up he’d be able to get them an extras gig. Apparently the scene involves copper catching the hulks fist, ripping it off and then throwing it to Anel, who then overhead kicks it into the goal at the kop end. A bloke in the stand then stands up and shouts WILDER ARRRTT!

Add ons from any of the top 8-10 premier league clubs are dangerous. You're only benefitting if they go for a significant profit. If the player is successful they aren't selling. Kyle Walker was a world class player at a skint Spurs team building a new stadium. We only got the sell on at the last available opportunity to get it.The club has to be very careful with add ons.
There's three clubs with a realistic possibility to win something: Man City, Arsenal. Liverpool. I wouldn't countenance that add on with another team.
