Zak Brunt Signs

[jackal2]

Saw this rumour knocking around last night.. Brunt sounds like a great prospect. Hope we’re not after him because we’re planning for Ruben to be leaving…

There could be a greater danger of Ruben leaving this January than Wootton, because Ruben's the one under a longer contract who might potentially command the biggest transfer fee.

I wonder how many teams would be willing to make an irresistible offer for Wootton at this stage, when he becomes available for free in the summer anyway. I suppose it depends how highly his suitors rate him and how desperate they are, but the bid would surely have to be a decent six-figure sum, otherwise his value to us is greater if he stayed for the rest of the season. Assuming that the interest would come from no higher than League One, there are only a handful of teams that have such money to spend, and there's quite a leap in standard between the National league and League One so it would be a risk.
