    A player is only worth what a club is prepared to pay for him.
    Ideally you would want a few clubs bidding to try and bump the price.
    Maybe his age is against him and the fact he scored 10 goals last season.
    No doubt Neil Warnock could improve him.

    Warnock will improve him and provide him with a better service, that is the difference between Warnock/Warne and their better class of player, tactical nous and financial backing.

    Smith would be worth 5 million to Boro because they know he would be a major part of their successful promotion bid next season.

    MB, indeed but how does a player jump say £4 million in price overnight just because he's moved clubs?

    Was it about £5million? At the time he was probably worth that. Look at the crazy prices Peterborough get for their players and they were a League 1 club when they sold Toney to Brentford for a whopping £10 Million. As such, no one knew what Toney would be capable of achieving going there, however , he's more than proved his calibre and now there's talk of Leicester stepping in to make an astronomical bid for him to replace the ageing Jamie Vardy, RUMOURS OF £35 MILLION+

    Time to be cheeky and ask for Wing on a season loan as part of the package. Well if you dont ask....
    Grumps, here's the latest news just released on Bury FC...

    Bury's Gigg Lane stadium has been put up for sale by administrators in an attempt to "secure the future of football" at the 12,000-seater venue. The club entered administration in November with a view to finding new ownership and potentially obtaining readmission to the football pyramid.

    This decision to sell could bring new hope to fans groups aiming to revive the club at their 136-year home.

    Administrator Steven Wiseglass hopes to secure "a best possible outcome".

    "Bury FC is a club with a rich history and a loyal and enthusiastic fan base, and I do hope that a suitable buyer will be forthcoming to secure the future of football at Gigg Lane," Wiseglass, who represents Inquesta Corporate Recovery & Insolvency, said.

    "It is understood there may be an offer from a community interest group to purchase the stadium and trading name as a result of the chancellor's announcement in the recent budget to provide matched funding for purchasing assets of community interest.

    "There are other potential parties interested in acquiring the business and assets, and I am liaising with them."

    Bury's most recent game at Gigg Lane was the final match of the 2018-19 season, when the Shakers drew 1-1 Port Vale en route to promotion from League Two.

    The stadium is a freehold, meaning all land and buildings are included as responsibility to the purchaser.

    Forest got nearly ten million for him.Warnock knows Smith will be far more effective and he will get 100%.

    Agree with you Lol. I had visions of Barlaser spraying balls out to wingers/ wing backs to set us up for attacks but that didn't materialise much last season. Instead he just ended up chasing the ball round with 10 other players. If he stays next season we have really got to utilise his skill like we did the last time he was in league 1 with us. Also get him back to his point accuracy with corners and free kicks. I don't doubt that players need to play with energy but we also have to utilise their skills.Some players might be good at running round all day like Lyndsey but some need to let the ball do the work for them like Barlaser.

    The club owes £12.2m in unsecured debts…with a tangled web of creditors…
