You've got to think how much Walsall would have paid for cook if he was contracted. At least 300?

As far as Danny Rowe's concerned, I think it is a risk to commit a large amount of the playing budget on a player that is unproven at FL2 level. In any case, we now have Cole Stockton who may not be everyone's choice, but he did form a good goal-scoring partnership with James Norwood towards the end of the 16/17. He also proved he could score goals in FL2 at Morecambe. He played well enough yesterday given that he only had a couple of days at the most to train with the squad. Let's give Cole our full support and encouragement.

He wasn't allowed to play yesterday.The centre back was all over him most of the time and,particularly in the first half,he got nothing from the ref.

Quote:That argument does not really stack up clubs,especially for a striker are often prepared to pay high money.Ollie Watkins at Exeter was an example.His experience was entirely Div2 yet Brentford paid £2 million for him and a year later would be able to sell him on for considerably more.£100k is not a lot to pay for a goal scorer for a division below; it is simply too much for Tranmere to pay.coltran

It would depend on the circumstances.
Firstly does the club and it's circumstances permit the fee for said striker to remain real world value. Any big club could pay vast sums for players like Ronaldo and Pogba, but in truth real world value could potentially remain at around 1/3 of inflated value 24 hours later, so even if Brentford were seen as big enough at Championship level to pay £2,000,000 for a player and not keep the value, then having an initial value drop would mean the player would have to be really good to end up being worth more than £2,000,000 after 12 months.
If the initial real world value stablised at equal to or greater than purchase value, the player could sell for more, but he would still have to impress. Something in the order of 3 goals and 1-2 assists in his first 10 games, would go down well I would suggest, but 1 goal and / or an assist would hardly suggest the player could be an out and out striker at that level, barring later improvement in form.
Brentford may well have paid £2,000,000 for Watkins, but that does not mean they could automatically get more, even 12 months later just for having Championship status, as the circumstances would have to be right.

i dont get the 'real world value' and 'inflated value'

According to Twitter, Micky seems to imply that nobody will be coming in today, so that is that.
Looks like league survival is the remit for this season, and I wouldnt be surprised if Norwood is the next target to be poached unless a new deal is signed before January.
I realise we have to live by our means, but were looking like we havent got a pot to @#$%& in atm.

It may not be that bad but last year we heard that promotion was worth more than a million pounds at this point it does not seem as if any of that is helping us to retain our best talents. The contracted squad is smaller than last year so I wonder if the pay bill is any bigger. The squad at the end of last year felt better in terms of the national than does the current squad is for Div2 but it will take 8-10 games to really see how well equipped we are

Forget about Rowe, at least until January.
Obviously other clubs don't think he's worth the asking price, or he'd be signed up somewhere else by now.
We had the best Striker in the VNL and we somehow let him walk out on a free?
We are now reaping what we have sewn. .
