sjk2008 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 If selling McLaughlin helped pay Ripley's wages and also helped sign Douglas, I'll drive McLaughlin to whichever club he wants. And I quite like McLaughlin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 He's our most versatile player so he'd be an enormous loss. Also somebody I'd looked forward to watch develop at the club. Does this mean Gardner to the right-wing like he was at Chesterfield or Flynn? Once again I look at our squad and the creativity is lacking over everything else.

And I quite like McLaughlin. I wouldn't, unless we had Ripley permanently. If it was a season loan and a 36 year old for our biggest asset and most creative player I'd be sceptical.

the_mighty_bosh Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I think he's currently our most saleable asset. I was hoping we could get another 6 months or a year out of him then sell him for more as I thought he would have a very good season this time aroumd, but if it funds Ripley then so be it. With Dummigan, Hunt, Wilson, Mantack and Flynn who can fill the positions on the right we should do OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way he's as good as gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Won't get anything over 200k for McLaughlin. Looking more like 150k, I reckon. And probably to another League One club... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying you're wrong but it sounds like a lot of money for a lad who's had one half decent season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 It's worth remembering that we only get your McLaughlin's if we are prepared to let them go when an offer comes in so on that basis I'm okay with it, same applies to Duffus who no doubt will be attracting interest already, can't begrudge them the move and a leg up if they are prepared to drop a level or two to establish themselves, it's a policy that could serve us very well even though its disappointing to lose someone with McLaughlin's quality.

Well as seen through our signings and money spent this pre season we are dealing with a different Simon Corney at the moment and that includes selling players for their true worth for once....

Given that our smallest striker is 6"2 and it's likely that our cheapest signing was an attacking midfielder it wasn't hard to guess the way we'll look to play a certain way.

I agree he probably is our most sellable asset but his value (to us) is probably at it's peak now because he only has a year left on his contract. I think £600k (if true) is a good deal for us. He has pace which is a very valuable commodity at this level. I'd prefer to keep him but if selling him allows us to bring in 2 or 3 quality signings, I can definitely see the logic in it.

archiecat Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Whoever would sign Mclaughlin for 600k needs removing from his job pronto! As for Douglas,no thanks we already have that player in Green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz_Oafc Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 So there's potentially 600k on the table for him and we let him play 85mins in a friendly? Bullshit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Towards the end of every season I look forward to the quieter summer - a break from relegation stress, a bit of speculation on transfers. Think it's safe to say I'm ready for the new season to start now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
