Not if the club are serious about evolution not capitulation. Both established Gas, both value the opportunity the club has given them, both loyal servants to the club. No way should they go. Form is temporary, Lockyer will recover. Harrison is a different player now he has become the main striker at the club.

To be honest, they’ve both been loyal servants and are players that re proud to wear the shirt. Lockyer hasn’t had his best season so I doubt he would leave at least this summer. Ellis is obviously a quality player but there are lots of players who have scored even more than him in league 1 this season so I doubt he would leave either.

Who is going to pay that sort of money for two wasters and water takers.

We will be lucky to get £1m for the pair of them But you put "Shame he will be moving on in the summer" with a crying emoji a few days ago in response to praise for Harrison, now you think we'll be lucky to get £1 million for him and a 23-year-old three cap Welsh international??? We got less than £1m for the last two top players that left recently

Why would we accept £500K for Harrison, are we seriously going to find a 15 goal a season striker for that type of money with the prospects he'll steady improve? No idea what's gone wrong with Locks as Coleman and Giggs clearly see something we don't! Nichols is 12/13 goal a season striker 🤫

Both players give their best in my opinion and your post is crazy talk but if your happy to call them that then that’s your call.

Replied to one of his posts in the where will browner go thread, now realise it was a waste of time. Never mind. also don’t want Harrison or Lockyer to go anywhere at this time.

I love that Lockyer's had a poor season and everyone is ready to boot him from the club and yet Ellis had a good 5 months and people want to vote him as player of the season. Let's not lose our heads here everybody. Also I'd love to know how many clubs have spent more than a million pounds in a transfer window in this division? I can't imagine it's many. Not boot him out - just question whether he should be in the starting 11 next season, particularly at CB. It's a strange one, I think Lockyer played his best when he partnered Broadbent - and let him deal with the first balls - then Craig came in and had a dodgy start. Later Craig picked up and looks a composed CB but him and Lockyer are not the solution - they're as a pair too short, surely ?

You are right that Broadbent is taller but as a defender he is nowhere near Craig and Locks at the moment. Miles off. Lockyer is much better with Craig as he trusts him and doesn’t have to cover the silly mistake that Broadbent will inevitably make. Yes it would be nice if they had more hight but they are by far the best pairing if both fit.

Broadbent's made some mistakes like all defenders do. Lockyer and Craig haven't ?

I reckon we could easily lose harrison. The 20 goal striker thing is a bit over played imo. Only 2 players managed it in the championship and two in league one and ellis is young and a real handful for defences as well as having a good career goal scoring record. For me hes one of the very best strikers in league one and a better player than bodin or taylor right now.

He can also pick a good pass as well

Would reluctantly take £1 million for Lockyer, he hasn't improved this season and isn't dominant enough to play alongside Craig if we are persisting with him (Personally I would play Broadbent and Lockyer together, or try Broadbent and Menayese). I think when tampering with the nucleus of players here that truly care about the club we need to be careful and if we can keep them together as long as possible - O.Clarke, Locks, Harrison, Lines etc.
I wouldn't take £1 for Ellis, in my opinion he has turned into a great player and could easily cut it in the Championship. Such a shame that Taylor isn't still here as with those two upfront I feel we easily would've made the top 6. Sadly some of our 'older' fans have it in for Ellis and this will never change - their minds have been made up despite his vast improvement this season.
I'm very worried someone like Birmingham or Blackburn will come in with an offer for him this summer - and as always we'll snap anyones hand off for peanuts.
I think in the current climate we should be looking for at least £2mill for Harrison, which would allow us to cherry pick a few strikers from League 2 OR give us a nice buffer to bring in a free agent on higher wages.
Decent goal-scorers cost 500k+ even if you're shopping in L2 and the National League (As we know they aren't always guaranteed to make the step up so we would need to buy more than one).

If Ellis Signs his new contract we would get a big fee for him, if not we have a Bodin issue on our hands in January...
