Well every Chad and his dog told me that the minute Luton were interested in Kaminski he had to go as he would want the chance to play in the Premier and you can't refuse as you can't keep an unhappy player.

So that's it. Dolan's gone.

Whoever does their scouting must know the score. They’ve made some good signings on a shoestring. Same goes for the coaching if the can get a tune out of Amari Bell. They’ve got Barkley up to top speed as well.

He hasn't accepted the contract he's been offered, so ultimately that's a yes.

Has he been offered one?

Thought it was said contract talks were on hold until the summer.

get Dolan sold before he walks for free, in my opinion not a great loss.

That’s why a Premier League team want him.

So are you saying, Dolan in your opinion, is premier league standard ?

If they can make Bell a Premier League player who knows. They’ve taken that winger from Rotherham and made him a Premier League player. Did he look a better prospect than Dolan ?

He wouldn't go on a free anyway as he's under 24, although no idea what he would fetch at a tribunal.

Think he changed agency recently but they have held discussions prior. 

This is the latest I can find on the matter:

That's a lot more than the $2.3m mentioned yesterday.

3.14 million pounds with 1.96 million pounds of addons with a sell on?

Dont believe that for one second. If true, why are we spending 5 million on him?

We have a 12-month option for extention, as well as him being younger than 24 so a tribunal would set the fee. In any case we won't be left with nothing.

Duncan McGuire is on his way to Manchester from Cancun ahead of signing for Blackburn Rovers. Final fee £2.35m and the USA international will spend the next 3.5 seasons at Ewood Park. Big signing for Jon Dahl Tomasson's side.

So depressing.

We have billionaire owners but we are seen as a soft touch by the likes of Luton, Brentford and Crystal Palace.

We have absentee billionaire owners.

Does someone want to let Chris know just how fantastic we are at f*cking up signings?

They've probably booked him on a flight with a nice long layover somewhere

[CambridgeRover]

Pick him up from the airport in the luxury bus. Make a great first impression

If I wasn't ill I'd nip over to MCR airport for BRFCS readers and make sure he went straight to Brockhall.

That's if he goes abroad I think.

24 if he stays in this country.
