JCH....Will we or will we not?

And they'd all be told the same score 30 goals a season and I'll get you a similar deal?

Nobody knows what Connor Taylor's earning, given he swapped high paying Stoke for Rovers then he could equally be on similar silly money for a young defender.

yes he signed a new 3-year deal with Stoke after helping us to promotion, so his wage would be near the top end here you would imagine

I'd judge it on not how many he scores for someone else, but who we get in instead

It's not who we get instead it's how many goals our strikers score compared to JCH.

You can guarantee this thread won't disappear if he joins another top 6 challenging side and continues to score for his new side, particularly if we still struggle to score in winnable games.

A couple of things . Firstly the transfer fee will be smaller but surely that just means that the player and his agent will demand a higher signing on fee . Those who talk of getting him on the cheap are mistaken. The reality is that signing JCH would also dictate the way that we play going forward and that obviously does not fit in with Matt Taylor’s preferred choices. Our recent change of fortune started when Johny Marquiss returned to the team against Crewe and his all action style of hassle and pressuring the defenders allowed us to defend and hit opponents on the break with a fast attacking style. You can’t do that if you have an old fashioned traditional forward in the team. Matt Taylor is all about speed , intensity and effort and whilst we presently have Chris Martin in the team I suspect that is only the situation until Taylor is able to sign the type of a younger mobile forward that he prefers like Nombe who went with him to Rotherham from Exeter. People will rightfully argue that you can’t really turn down a player who will score 30 goals a season but then forget how we began to rely on him too much when he was here before and the team that he was in was one of the least attractive footballing wise that we have had in many a year . that simply does not fit in with our new Manager’s belief in the way that he wants to build his team and a style of play that will enable us to climb the Leagues hopefully , it would be short term success signing him but would it be ling term gain?

food and money seems to be his driving force.you can see why peterboro was his limit

Seems that there are a couple of scenarios here; either JCH/his agent are a pair of greedy bar stewards and don’t care where they play as long as the money’s right or he could be being particular as this is his last big opportunity before he gets too old?

We agreed a deal with JCH and his representative with plenty of time left to submit the paperwork.
