What price Dan Crowley?

[Mud Pie]

Difficult one. If the club is serious about promotion we have to keep him and let him go in June if he wants to. I don't think the club is serious about promotion this season.

whose to say what's been going on behind the scenes though. JJ re-signed early. All this DC is unsettled stuff could all be in fans minds.

As to whether the club is serious about this season - it's a bigger question even. Very good pre-season investment in the squad (was it good enough? Only time will really tell), but knowing it would be SM's first season in fully pro football... makes me think you could be right. That said, they'll change their minds if they want and there may well be some cash in the bank, so how aggressive they are in the January transfer window will be a sign of how serious they are now. Of course they could try hard to land targets in Jan, and not succeed.

Similar situation to Rodrigues - he?s too key to our hopes of doing something this season to entertain the kind of offers clubs might make with only six months left on his deal. I suspect he goes on a free in a summer the same as Ruben come what may.

Club have done with JJ what they did with Langstaff and it suits all parties.

Here is a 50% pay rise JJ with a new deal. Here is a clause in your contract with a sell on clause subject to a bid at <insert figure> so keep doing what you are doing and the higher bid comes in if it doesn't oh well we get to keep a great player. If it does we probably get more as the sell on figure will be higher in the deal as he's been great. JJ is happy as he has flexibility and more money agent is happy as he gets his cut club is happy as they have covered their arse and will get max bang for buck with the only risk being he gets injured again. If JJ is a Notts player next season I will be surprised.

If he really wants to go sell him,
we can then use the money to invest for a promotion push next campaign or strengthen the squad if by any chance we are promoted this season.
we gave Woots and Rodders away , live and learn. what is the point of having a possibly disillusioned player on board that could mentally effect them around him with a poor attitude. Having said that hopefully he might sign an extended contact and none of the above would apply.
