Forest are looking for a right back, so I would be surprised if they wanted to sign Lockyer, as most of his games have been in central defence.

Players come and players go. I'd expect £3m for him though, with the number of games he has played at his age and the fact that he's a full Welsh international. For a defender? 750k tops. 750k for our captain and a 23-year-old full international? You're probably right, this is soft touch Bristol Rovers after all.

Charlton have just sold Ezri Konsa to Barnsley for an apparent £2.85m. He's a centre back, not an international (has played a couple of times for the under 21s), and has played 86 games at age 20. Lockyer is 23, is a full International, and has played 237 games - many as Captain. And he's just signed a new long term contract - it's not like with the others that we have sold recently, who had a year or less left.
I stick by my £3M.

Am I the only one who really won't panic if Ellis and Lockyer leave?

Not panicking just yet as I don't think Lockyer will go, but with less than 2 weeks to go until the start of the season losing both would hit us hard.

Some don't like it, but we are a small club and if the likes of Ipswich, Forest, Preston or, taking aside local rivalries and emotion, City come calling, a Rovers player's head is going to be turned. That being the case, those players won't be signing the long term contracts that would have helped us to demand a good fee.

Perhaps that length wasn't long enough. All players at this level will have their heads turned, but clubs like Oxford and Peterborough seem able to get their players tied down to decent contracts and receive better fees than we manage.
