Both I suppose. The devil is in the detail. There'll be a big add on if Soton avoid relegation. Several appearance related add ons and a significant sell on percentage. From what I've read and seen on TV about McAnthony I thought it unlikely he'd caved in so dramatically so thought there'd be more to it than the initially reported fee. Knowing this post, neither! Yes that's correct too in all likelihood it will end up being something between the two.

I just don't get that, it's exactly the same process that ordered us to pay a fee rising to £1.75M for Campbell years ago who'd never played a senior game. Yet were talking about a fee of less than a mill for a 21 year old who's top scored in the championship for his club in consecutive seasons and been called up for the full Scotland squad. Bizarre. Mate loads of Bristol City fans are saying they’d be really happy with anything near 2.5-3m for him. And that Theyd be happy to swap him for Scott Twine from Burnley . I think you’re rating him too highly. What the fuck have fans got to do with player valuations.

Don't think it'd be a 'fair' fee they'd get if he went to an English team next summer. www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/bristol-tommy-conway-celtic-wolves-9336376They seem to think any compensation fee would be "approaching 7 figures" if he went to an English team - and only the standard 300k if he went to Scotland Hence the pressure to get whatever they can this summer. And it doesn't sound like the interest they were expecting when the above article was written in their local paper in June has yet materialised. I see Jebbison was settled outside of tribunal between Bournemouth and Sheff Utd for 1.5m if that gives any sort of guide. How Conway would be viewed against him I’ve got no idea. Wouldn’t be amazed to see Conway go for 3-5m this summer in that basis. I haven’t got a clue though. Don’t know how much interest he would have in making a sideways move from Bristol to someone like us? On the Sinclair Armstrong-o-meter, seems like we'd register quite low! But it'd all come down to who else is interested and what kind of auction they could get going, wouldn't it? If he's even one we're vaguely considering. Wouldn't imagine there are lots of openings to be the main man somewhere though. And, to be fair, I haven't really studied his profile closely enough to know if he'd be one we'd be after www.ntt20.com/p/21-under-21-tommy-conway-bristol

Our transfer activity seems a bit underwhelming at the moment doesnt it. Or am I being too anxious too early.?
Are there any biggish names we've been linked with.?

Dunno what qualifies as a biggish name? We've been linked with a couple of forwards in the last day or two but I wouldn't call them big names. Do clubs at our level get to sign big names?

I'm genuinely curious which biggish names anyone thinks we'd attract given our recent status of the last few years, or any club with the same record would attract tbf?

I think McBurnie is probably the highest profile player we've been linked with. He went for a lot of money but I wouldn't call him a big name personally.

We’ll be fine. Every summer it’s the same then names come from nowhere, and signings appear that no one knows about before hand.

We very much are now in the take a punt on potential scenario and hope they kick on and make a tidy profit. May change in the future, but it's where we are now.

Don’t care about biggish names, prefer a handful of unknown new Burgers and Bae’s I think I'd prefer course and distance proven for the CF but doesn't need to be some big name sexy player. Some rough arse who'll knock a few CB's about and bag a few would be very nice.

We’ve already made some decent signings on the face of it. I think 3 or 4 more would be fine but if they’re going to be loans they won’t happen yet. Looking forward to seeing us with a full pre season under Schumacher regardless, could be entertaining for a change. I live in hope

Kieffer Moore has gone Sheff Utd. Why weren't we in for him? We might have been. He would transform our forward play. I predict he gets 15-20 league goals and a fair few assists next season barring injury

Kieffer Moore has gone Sheff Utd. Why weren't we in for him? He's 32 and they gave him a 3 year contract. I certainly wouldn't have been impressed.

You’d be thinking 2 years absolute max If he gets them promotion, the money wont be much of an issue and they might just get rid of him to someone else at this level, or use him as a squad filler.

You’d be thinking 2 years absolute max Maybe 2 if there was no fee involved. Quite a few clubs won't give players over 30 more than a year at a time. I think that's right personally.

Money has been very much of an issue at Sheff Utd for a number of years. I'm not sure that's how you improve your situation.

If we can't compete for Moore think we are in trouble. It would have been a bit like giving Fletcher a 3 year contract, falls off a cliff after a year and you're stuck with him for a further two years on top money. It's madness.
