Yet TS was willing to bid £1.4m for Lee Gregory and unwilling to go above £500k for Bradshaw.

I just don't see where the logic comes from saying that Bradshaw wasn't worth the money or that Gregory was worth the money? Ok Bradshaw is not proven at this level, but his age and his last 2 seasons goal tally says to me that he's worth the risk. If he is a success then a bigger club comes in and you make a profit, if it fails and we go down we already know he's an excellent League 1 striker.

And if we were going to bid £1.4m for Gregory then Derbyshire was easily worth another deal.
Agree entirely about the Bradshaw comments, he was worth the money because he's only 23 years old and seems to be a prolific goal scorer plus he would have been a great asset to have regardless if we got relegated or not. If he scores goals in the championship he becomes a multi million pound asset, we get relegated and doesn't score in the championship then at least we have a prolific league 1 striker at a decent age. Not much thought at all in to this signing i reckon we've missed a big trick here and time will tell.
