Well done Macca, thoroughly deserved and let's go up the leagues together!
COYP
£20m for Macca. Seems reasonable to me.

Liked this bit:
With Langstaff catching the eye of his head coach during a media interview, County boss Luke Williams joked that the striker was worth "in the region of £20m", before going on to say it would take a "staggering figure" for them to consider selling him.
"We are fortunate that we don't need to raise capital, so we would be foolish to let Macca go for anything less than what is a really incredible sum," Williams said.
"He is playing his part in a team performing to a very good level, and at this moment we sit top of the league.
Great to see, and brilliant recruitment by Football Radar.
For many years I used to wonder why other clubs managed to unearth the Charlie Austins and Jamie Vardys of this world, but never us.
Well, now we do!![]()
The problem we used to have (It sounds good saying that in the past tense) is that for many years we were either a pension home that signed players based on what they had done in the past and not by their potential. By the time they came to the club their best days were behind them or nearly close to being behind them.
Then we had the opposite end of the scale whereby we would bring in a few young players below say 22 but they would rarely show signs of being able to play at a higher level, or never got played and almost became stocking fillers.
Now we are more aligned to bringing in players that have had a few seasons experience and have shown they are capable at this level or higher but still are yet to reach their peak, or they have had a good footballing education at academies at the highest level, or they have excelled in the league below.
I know why, because we didn't look.
Tremendous achievement by Macca. He's now surpassed Brett Angel's achievement in my eyes![]()
