i'm a big AC fan but hes not covered himself in glory this past year (especially recently). I think his potential leaving opens up a realm of exciting possibilities.
For once we are in a good position for selling, in that we dont have to sell, his contract is still decent and hes sill some use in the first team.

I've said that £750k, with a 30% sell on clause with add ons for promotion, goals scored and if he becomes a Wales international would suit us just fine.

I would sell Aaron for anything over 750k and go loan / buy one of the following:
Micah Hamilton (Man City U21) loan
Omari Forson (Man United U21) loan
Josh Murphy (Oxford United) Perm
Femi Azeez (Reading) Perm
Owen Dale (Blackpool) Perm
Amadou Diallo (Newcastle Utd) loan
Josh Sims (Ross County) Perm

When has selling a player meant the manager gets the funds, at Rovers ? Maybe things have changed now but, historically, we have not been a club that gives the fee to buy decent replacements. If its not for replacements... then presumably we don't have a cash flow requirement... if we did, I'd worry. So even less of reason to take an offer now that would be achievable in the summer. Don’t get your logic. 12 months on his contract left in the summer so less bargaining power for Rovers. Only way it goes up is if he scores 10 before the end of the season. Unlikely on recent form. |

A little update; Aaron Collins prior to being stripped of the captaincy; Played 93 Goals 33 GPG 0.35 Aaron Collins since being stripped of the captaincy; Played 46 Goals 6 GPG 0.13 One of our finest assets tanked. How long was he captain for ? I’m not sure but think it was only a game or two as he’s never really been captain material. I’m not convinced his drop in form is anything to do with the captains armband to be honest. |

They have loads and loads of season ticket holders, in fact they sold out after a renewal rate of 99.25%. Does that mean that tourists are buying them? www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/news/2023/june/ticket-news--match-day-pricing-for-202324-season-confirmed/I think you’ve misjudged the situation. They do have some tourist fans because of the Reynolds stuff but nowhere near the number you’re talking. Their historical average attendances show the appetite has been there previously and now they’ve got some success it’s not a surprise it’s back. Call them tourists, day trippers, johnny come lately's, call them what you will are buying them yes, so 7k fans just miraculously come out the woodwork? They also have an International Fans ticket scheme, which stops UK members from buying tickets, they have countless supporters clubs now too in the US where American Citizens are Season Ticket holders.
Add to that the massive increase in visitors to Wrexham on weekends? Hotels, restaurants and all sorts of hospitality are selling out just by coincidence are they?
Jeez, just let it go!

We’re going to sell Collins right at the death and then not have enough time to buy a replacement or have to pay over the odds and get fleeced. Proper Gas !

I think, and I may be wrong a lot will depend on the payment breakdown as well. Will those running things prefer £600k up front rather than £250k x3 over 3 years... |

The difference between 12 months and 18 negligible. There's bound to be more clubs interested in the summer- than a trigger finger sale now. |

Not sure if there's been interest in a Bolton forward? They could be wanting to replace a player with Collins, this would then determine how much they can pay and how desperate they are!? Personally I will be surprised if it happens. I'd rather see a confident, happy Collins playing for us. Let's face it, anything less than 1 million for last seasons league 1 player of the year is a bargain, despite his form.

Bolton fans on X reckon Collins will be a replacement for Dion Charles - they think it's unlikely they will spend 750k+ otherwise. |

We’ll try and sign JCH again and submit the paperwork at 11.01pm We'll sell AC for £750K plus, bring in Smith or Evans as a replacement for a fraction of that, add 2 young exciting loans but there will be endless post about how the owners son has embarrassed us cos he did it wrong. |

I’m not convinced his drop in form is anything to do with the captains armband to be honest. Maybe something to do with the dressing down in the press though. Possibly , it could be a whole load of things or a combination of more than one. Nobody on here seems to know. Anyway if we can get more than £600 k for him with a sell on fee i think that’d be fairly decent business. |

Local journalist in Bolton suggesting they will walk away from deal if Rovers stick to £1m or close to that price tag.....

Anyway if we can get more than £600 k for him with a sell on fee i think that’d be fairly decent business. Still feels "weak" though on our part (once again). Bolton want him. Therefore we can ask for whatever we like; he's under contract. Former POTY and top scorer, one of the highest assists in the league this season. They want him, they can have him, but they have the pay for him suitably. Let's not forget, January is meant to be inflated!! So should arguably be even adding a premium on to the "fair value". Anyone think DMac would be letting him go for £600k? Not a chance. If he was running this sale, we'd easily be getting a £1m+. Anything less than £700k and we've - once again - had our pants pulled down. |
