    Did he, has he, submitted a transfer request, has he expressed a desire to leave. Does anybody know the answers,[wot goes on behind closed doors]. We can all assume and hold an opinion but without the facts ill hold judgement. If alls well then good luck Bradders and all the best.

    Is it better than the extra £6 million we'd receive if we got promoted?

    Not saying we will if we keep Bradshaw or we won't if we sell him. But the way we've played in the first four games would indicate to me we have a better chance if we keep him.

    Your right, no sense in it whatsoever. My thoughts are you get a replacement in first afore getting rid of one of your main strikers. This seems like there’s no one lined up at all to come in. Very poor all round if true

    Thiam, Victor, Moncur are all options, with Isgrove and Hedges looking for regular wide positions.

    Like Bradders but never been prolific for us and reckon we can find the goals elsewhere and pocket/spend a mill in Jan if required.

    Have to say i agree with this totally. It may happen or may already have happened (can't sit here all night reading every thread to confirm) but as and when it does I predict:

    a. We'll miss him and how he fits perfectly into our current style of play, regardless of how prolific he may or may not be. Our effectiveness as a unit starts from the front as illustrated at Rochdale yesterday.

    b. Unless there is another Dougall style gem ready to pull out of a hat, Bradders leaving will have a negative effect on our chances of achieving our no. 1 aim of promotion this season. A good chance that the negative effect will be terminal.

    I do currently have a lot of faith in Stendel. In the short time we have had available to judge him, he has done everything spot on. If he agrees with this move then I'll go with it. But I am not convinced he will agree with it on a purely football level. Not at this stage, not after the main window has closed and not with TBs effectiveness in our style being self evident.

    Judged on a football level it just seems such an unnecessary risk for the club to take. We can see clearly after 4 games that we have a unit that is capable of finishing top 2 and possibly even running away with it. If one cog is taken out of that unit and the effect is that by Christmas we are back in mid table then not one person will be persuaded that the loss of TB did not contribute significantly to that slide in form.

    Exactly this. And add to the fact Bradshaw has been trying to leave for over a year & It makes sense to take £1.5m, add ons, and replace him with a couple of players the coach knows well.

    Get rid and get someone with more pace than a snail in

    Nowt worse than seeing us play a great ball through only to realise Its Bradshaw who looks like he’s running in custard trying and failing to get on the end of it.

    Decent finisher but ball has to be put perfectly into his head or foot, otherwise he can’t get near it

    Stendel decided that we kept him during the summer, it's still Stendel's decision now.

    Bradshaw has no pace or physical strength, so has to make up for it by being intelligent, a hard-worker and a good finisher, which to my mind, he is.
    Lack of pace and strength means lower half of the Championship to me is the maximum he can achieve, so I don't expect much money to be made on future transfers.
    I like him and wish him all the best.

    The change of heart is definitely not from Bradshaw, as l posted last week he was happy. Loves living up here in the country with his dogs, his missus pregnant and he can't wait for the birth. The move would be good for him because of the in laws being close by to help but on the other hand the mother in law is a full time office manager.

    I can reveal the source now if he's ******* off, it was him - Tommy Bradshaw, sat there getting his barnet chopped five feet away.

    The boards looked at the stats, value etc and cashed in. We must trust them find a profitable replacement.
