    We can trigger an extension and demand a full fee. So what should we be asking for

    Will collar been released by Stockport, 28 yr old centre mid can play holding mid but did score 8 goals from midfield this season so seems more box to box (bit like patto). Impressed everytime ive seen him with a great engine to get around pitch. 2 time league winner was there with sarc and byrne. If we aren't all.over this there is something wrong, he would be the perfect upgrade on smallwood

    Wing back with limited experience and bad injury record but plenty of potential 200k but we won’t get that

    The problem with triggering the extension is that might just put off clubs from wanting to buy him, they might be interested in him as a low compensation transfer but not as a market value transfer. If that was to happen then we'd have the risk of having an unhappy player which would do more damage to the team than good.

    And thats what you wanted to give Jake Young away for after scoring 20 odd goals for Swindon, with no injury record and plenty of potential and in contract.

    Thank you. Now we move on.

    Difference was he only played well once for a couple of months. Just admit you got it wrong on Young

    He played 27 times in league one last season, what exactly did he get wrong?

    Just the type of player we should be doing our utmost to sign. Always been impressed with him when I've seen him play.

    That's 2 more than Vadine Oliver has scored over the past two seasons in league 1, playing the same amount of games overall as Young did last season.

    Yet he played more games in league one than any Bradford city player last season. Your narrative screams failure cos you've always had an agenda toward Young, i remember you questioning the lads integrity. I'd say 27 games at that level in a team finishing 14th is a fair effort for your first season at that level.

    Where has he been valued at up to 800k. By the way how many did Oliver score in a struggling league one team in the two previous seasons before we signed him

    He values an out of contract, injury prone left back who has had a few good months in a City shirt the same as a striker who scored 20+ goals in half a season. We all see it, but he cant!

    How many games did he start?

    I saw a lot of games where he was brought on for the last 10 minutes.

    Lets hope Byrne and Sarc are on the phone to him and Touray...Collar and Sarc look very close if Collars X profile is owt to go by!

    That said Collar apparently wants a move closer to Essex. Thats coming out of Stockport end.....

    Again depends on what the narrative is. You could say he's only played so many minutes, equally you could say a manager has deemed him good enough to play a part in 27 league one games. But then do i think he's good enough for a to hold down a regular starting spot in league 1? Not really.

    I have absolutely nothing against Young only the valuation some people put on him

    Gilliead played 42. Some absolutely gash players have plenty of games in league 1, we should know from last time we were there. Maybe Park was harsh on him but you’re bigging his season up too much
