Jake Young

A friend of mine bought £100 of shares in the early 90s ,in the year 2000 the club offered an inflated sum for them which he turned down. He then got a totally out of proportion dividend payment which shows how much Richmond and Rhodes received.

 

lol!

 

As fans we won't likely ever know what he goes for (if he does go).

But what would we all be happy with? For me i'd say £375k + Goal and Game bonuses and a sell on %. I know it seems low, but there's no guarantee he will come in and do well for us or he wants to be here. If a player has his head turned it can make a huge difference on the pitch. Look at Harry Lewis

 

Interesting quote from Gary Caldwell at Exeter

Exeter City manager Gary Caldwell says the club will definitely sign at least one new striker this month.

"It's not an enjoyable window, everyone's fighting for the same player, everyone's looking for the same thing," Caldwell told BBC Radio Devon.
​

Hopefully it's Young and the bidding is pushing up the price

I'd be more than happy with that.

It's not as much as players like Langstaff and Al-Hamadi are being valued at, but those players have both performed for longer than Jake Young, and have managed to actually perform for their parent club.

City: He's a great player. We rate him highly. £1 million please.
Bidder: Could he get in your team?
City: No.
Bidder: Here's £300,000 then.

 

Simpson has changed his tune again now. He's gone from "we can't afford the ridiculous fee"... to now saying "we can afford Young, its just not good business".

He’s being a kangaroo playing to the Carlisle gallery because he suspects he’s under severe pressure to improve results, or else. Distractions, deflections .

 

Carlisle could sign Young and be given a goal headstart every game until now and May and they’d still go down. Should never have gone up

 

So did me and my dad!

 

If Simpson believes as Carlisle manager Young is good enough to help get them out of the mire their in then it would be stupid not to buy him, back your judgment Mr Simpson instead of trying to unsettle player of other clubs.

 

Eh ?.

 

They wouldn't have gone up if it wasn't for Hughes bottling it.

 

Personally I think we should tell Carlisle to feck off. Its the least they deserve for having their manager make a shit attempt at trying to tap up one or our players

then sell Young to one of their rivals

 

Reading GAs latest comments looks like Young is here to stay. And unless our price is matched, he will be playing as soon as he is fit so not going anywhere this window.

Great news.

 

We'll never know mate but I think most fans on reflection can see that late substitution was a mistake, not help by his later comment about playing for penalties.

 

Brilliant! Very true.

 

Excellent presser from GA this week. He is doing exactly what I wanted him to do with Jake. Make him feel wanted here, advising him on his career. Stating categorically that we want him to stay. We have nailed our colours to the door. We are saying Jake is our player and we don’t want to lose him. If any club want him it will cost big time.

 

Yep 10/10

 

It is that sort of message that boosts players confidence.
