DC suggested he did not have the budget for him but liked him. Surely we can pay better wages than Exeter ? Of course we can pay better wages than Exeter for a player not required by Portsmouth who turned up at Exeter a season ago. In my book Stockley is hardly a Marquee signing! |

He might have been referring more to the near £1m fee exeter would require more than his salary? Well is Exeter want a £1m then Stockley will be playing for Exeter at least till he runs his contract down. He's not a £1m player surely? |

Listening to that from DC leaves me feeling very worried Have a horrible feeling we could be in trouble this season - hearing we can’t even compete financially to get someone from Exeter is worrying I agree, its all well and good investing in things that will increase our revenue in the long term but not at the expense of a decent first team. Do we really need a president, chairman and CEO at our level? Do we need a London office and additional tents at this present time ? We do need the improved commercial and recruitment staff but some of the spending priorities have been bizzare. You cant keep selling your best players in the hope you make good free / cheap signings as sooner or later it just wont work and you will be in trouble (like Holloway) |

I doubt Exeter will cave in and accept the first offer we make like we seem to have done when Ipswich made an offer for Harrison, I bet Hurst will be sat at home tonight wondering how he got EH so cheaply after his impressive debut v West Ham. Yes we seem to now lack the skills of a Geoff Dunsford (RIP) when it comes to negotiating fees for players we sell. Yes and no, we used to waste a fortune signing players on long contracts just to watch them struggle for form or fitness. Shorter contracts are a gamble but we have found ourselves with people wanting to play for us and not just after a big contract |

We only got 750k for Harrison and Exeter are expecting £1mil for Stockley?! We really are soft touches in the market. |

He only had a year left on his contract but i agree Dunford would have got twice that |

Im just going by signings like mo eisa from cheltenham to city and coventry selling mcnulty for a massive fee. Stockley scored goals and lead the line for exeter last season so he wont be cheap. |

If that is the case Ellis is worth at least twice as much as Stockley and begs the question. Did our owners capitulate to Ipswich as they did in the case of Taylor and Bodin although I accept Taylor had a release clause which the same owners agreed to. I for one expect DC to be off sooner rather than later if he has been offered a mere fraction of the money received for Harrison and Bodin. It leaves a very sour taste in my mouth if our owners did not accept that Ellis was a major player for us last season especially after Bodin left and then expect to get away with DC shopping at Home Bargains to replace him! |

Wouldn't expect DC to say anything less when negotiating?? Great way of saying we won't pay more, or over the odds etc. Can never tell with DC! So I would wait and see who we got, before going OTT.

We only got 750k for Harrison and Exeter are expecting £1mil for Stockley?! We really are soft touches in the market. As soon as interest in our player becomes apparent we seem to like getting the deal done ASAP. That then comes across like we are practically driving them there to sign for their new club. We were desperate for any money we could get for Bodin with only 6 months left of his contract. Harrison we had a bit more lee-way yet it really is shocking that we have been pushing for them to leave when the likes of Exeter are happy to hold their nerves unless a ridiculous offer is made. |

Possibly but I think Stockley lack of pace, control and mobility will limit interest from Championship clubs so I don't see a £1m transfer happening. |

A lot of people taking as gospel that Exeter will only take £1m for Stockley. Where is the evidence of this?
And as for Ellis, he was a 14-goal striker for one season in League 1. I rate him, but 750k plus add ons seems pretty reasonable business.

Nobody knows what exeter want for stockley i was just looking at people like mo eisa and mcnulty[coventry]. What do you think would land him? Whatever its more than we will pay anyway. |

Gary madine a big strong boy aged 27 scored 9 goals in boltons promotion season from 36 appearances signed by cardiff city for a reported £6m . Makes a young player like ellis look like a bargain to me. |

Exeter like Posh & Oxford always seem to get top dollar for their players, whereas we just seem like an easy touch, look at the interview from Posh's DM where he's telling Derby to pay what he wanted for Marriott, which he got this week, meanwhile we get an offer for EH and agree a deal within days, it really does beggar belief then just rub salt in he scored and hit the post today v West Ham. |

Pull your finger out Wael!!! Not your finger - your wallet!! Hani keeps the wallet with him at all times but Wael could beg from his big brother a little harder. |

I don't vwant to write this but if on the back of the training ground and stadium debacles, we don't get some decent strikers in the building, I can see trouble ahead!!!

In real terms lower league teams are spending less on transfers. They just don’t happen like they used to from the lower leagues anymore. |
