    Hardly, we'd have liked £5m I'm sure but for a lad that is a solid Championship defender with one years experience and one year left on his contract it's a decent price. Miles better than the £500k flogging in January.

    Amen.

    Folk need to rewind 2 (short) years. If we were told then that the free transfer from non-league was going to net us over £3m in less than 2 full seasons then we'd have taken that, nailed on. As we will with the current batch.

    Decent fee for a Championship centre back with less than 50 apps at this level and only 1 year left on his contract.

    We were never going to get the £5 million most on here were hoping for. We got about that for Alfie who had 2 years left on his deal.

    And the fact that Mawson was miles better technically on the ball and a lot younger with huge potential.

    The sub par fees absolutely never go back into the team. Stupid deal as with Scowen will cost a fortune more to replace by developing someone else than just offering increased wages

    No it won't. Just take Pinnock as an example (not saying we will sign him). But if we paid the £1m asking fee. And paid him our 1st teamer wage of £4K for 3 years we will have invested £1.6m... and banked £3.5m from Roberts. We also would have had to pay Roberts his wages for any time he was going to be here too. If we were to sell Pinnock for a similar fee in 2 years then we will have banked £3.5 from robbo. Invested £1.4m in Pinnock and returned £3.5m. So net profit of £5.6m.... think that is the long term vision of the plan.

    I'd imagine we did offer increased wages. The club won't be held to ransom by the players though. I imagine Scowen is on more at QPR than anyone at our club is. The increased wages over the course of say another 2 year contract may be similar in value to the money that will get spent in replacing the player. For example, if Scowen accepted a pay rise of £5,000 pw, which I bet is less than he'll be getting elsewhere, that's £500k over 2 years. It makes much more commercial sense for the club to spend that on another rough diamond and pay him the same as Scowen was on. There's more to costing in football than transfer fees.

    If it's true and it's 3.5 million then that's *****

    If it's true and it's Birmingham then that's ***** from Robbo. Snubbed them and came to us when they were a division above, and they've been a total shambles for the last few seasons. Very poor move for him if this proves to be the case, could do a lot better than them.

    Who's to say this is even true? Calm down! It's been widely reported that we want £5 million at least, we apparently rejected a £3 million bid and according so someone else on here a £5 million bid

    In January we'd apparently accepted a £3.5 million bid for Robbo from West Brom (I think). Hecky hadn't even heard about that bid! I'm sure he'll go but please don't believe everything the media says!

    If it's just a miserly £3.5M then the flag has been hoisted above Oakwell saying we surrender- we obviously can't hack it in the Championship.

    Let's get back to Division 1.
    Where under the present owner we belong.

    Yeah, yeah, cos clubs look at the flag flying in surrender and the laughable fact that we buy for nowt and sell for £3m+ in less than 2 seasons.

    Mate, it's like this. We used to surrender by selling players for the same money we bought for. Now we are respected for creating decent profit on instant performance gain. As I just told Zaslos on twitter, once we bought for a pittance, sold for a pittance. Now we buy for a pittance and sell for a profit. The next phase excites and thrills me, but in the meantime I'll sit and watch the next group grow as part of my Saturday entertainment. I won't stress over it, I'll enjoy it.

    This fee has not been confirmed by anyone.
    Calm down.

    I always thought the aim of a football club was to win matches. You live and learn.
