Plymouth bid 750k for Jatta

[slack_pie]

Im bleating about it and it hasnt happened yet. One of the more notable things about Stockports, Wrexhams and Stags success last season was that they didnt sell their best players halfway through the season.

True. They also have higher wage bills than ours. We're definitely doing things differently, but if that's what it takes to achieve long-term sustainability and progression, I'm cool with it.

You get rid of your 2 prime strikers in 6 months you are going to need to invest big money to replace. Do we have a ready made replacement to come in. I doubt it due to how Jatta had to adjust. To me, it would be bye bye promotion.

Give it time probably won?t be too long until that label is warranted

There, you did it without even meaning to.

Will it be progression if we spend another year in league 2, just one bad season away from non league again?

It would be if we finish in the top 7 , compared to 14th last season. Also dont buy the ?one bad season? analogy - you have to be spectacularly bad and for the most part a basket case club at board level to go down from this league (as we were when we went).

Agree with you MED PIE, it would be a very negative move from the club, and IMO will be seen as a lack of ambition by many supporters. I have read a number of times that gaining promotion is worth over a million, no Jatta, no promotion we are struggling now if he or McGoldrick dont play and goals will be hard to find, as would a replacement at this point in time. AJ has shown no desire to leave so this is totally about money in the bank, Vs a good chance of promotion!
Think hard Bros, what does AJ want, and IMO if you sell, you loose supporters, and create a negative attmosphere.

If we finish higher than 13th, yes.

We were short handed and needed new players before the window opened. We have signed 3 but have lost Crowley, Scott, Brown and Martin. Not to mention season long injuries to 2 players and extended loans for others. Even if Jatta stays we are still going to need quite a few incomings before the window closes next week.

I find it odd that the club values Jatta price wise more than they did Macca who had just signed a long contract and they made club captain

I?d want to see a suitable replacement through the door first
