Problem is to get a proven 20 goal a season striker to replace MT could well involve a transfer fee plus decent wages. Don't forget Vardy cost Leicester £1m, Swindon want £500K for thier striker, Rolfe would probably cost similar money. And Taylor cost us nothing except for what he earned in wages. Perhaps this is where we need to speculate? IF we have offered anything up to £7k, then it might be prudent to consider a transfer fee of up to £500k and with a wage of circa £4k a week, the spend would be similar over 2 - 3 years?

£4K a week is £400K pa + £500K = £900K outlay, £7K pw is £350K = £700K but I can't we we're offering MT even £5K a week?

hmmmm.....
I didn't learn much at school, but I did learn that an average was a definitive figure, not a rough estimate between 2 figures....
it's like saying the average figure for a league game in league 2 last year was between 4000 and 8000....
it ain't an average is it?

Think we'll at least be waiting until Monday. These sorts of things never seem to be announced on weekends.

Did you see that fantastic headed goal Friday night giving Wales a 3-1 lead and taking them into the Euro 16 semi finals ?....well that guy (Sam Vokes ) is on About £7000 Pw at promotion winning Burnley. If MT thinks he is already at that level he has gone cuckoo.

To be honest I agree the club should just make a decision. I know a lot of people don't rate pre-season friendlies but I would rather have our striking options sorted prior. I would love Matty to stay but he has had enough time to sort it out. My main concern was that Bodin signed a new contract, at his age and with his potential I think he is equally if not more important to the team, we also have some quite capable strikers on board and there are lots of options out there. I think were ever Matty goes he may have to make the best of what ever wonder deal he gets anyway as I think unless he has the patience and understanding of both Manager and fans (as he has at Rovers) he could fail - one season on a good whack may be all he gets.
A Championship club or Scottish Premier will have a more demanding and expectant view of him, he may be a twenty goal a season striker but he is also a 60 good chance a season striker who frustrates with squandered chances, new fans at a new club may be not as patient with him and may get very vocal and fustrated quickly.
Hope you are staying Matty but its time to either sign up or pack up. Do it now and you stay/go a Rovers hero either way.

It's not about what MT thinks he's worth it seems to be about what clubs are prepared to pay for him, although you can't read a lot into International football as Robson-Kanu was released by Reading having only scored 5 goals in each of the last two seasons, and could well have been on course to drop down to Div 1.

Brentford have announced thier 3 new signings, Celtic rumoured to be after Robson-Kanu's signature, there's no mention of MT going anywhere else.

I read th 16 pages of comments. Now I've always thought of the contributors to this forum to be above average intelligence. So I'm surprised that not one comment has sought to address the question in the OP.
The answer is 'yes'
Now, can anyone explain why the letter Z on my keypad has suddenly decided it's a letter y and vice versa. I kid you not, it's driving me crazy. (or as I tzpe it without correction, it's driving me crayz,!)
Seriouslz, this is reallz happening! Is it the Poles getting their own back?

If he signed a contract on that basis for 2 years the outlay would be £708k + £208k = £916k for the two years: If he signed a 3 year contract, then the outlay would be, £708k + £208k + 208k = £1,224k for the three years. For accuracy; £7k p.w. = £ 364k p.a.. So assuming he signed a contract on that basis, the outlay for 2 years would be, £364k + £364k = £728k: For 3 years it would be £364k + £364k + £364k = £1,092k.

Rediculous figures. Have a normal wage like the rest of us
