    Probably wouldn't have come here even if we were promoted for that price.

    Looks like both Luton and Coventry are bootstrapping our recruitment data analysis team's work for nowt.

    Good player, but £2m?

    Goes to show - as soon as clubs know you have money, prices go up!

    Hence why we’re always undisclosed still.

    A lot of money for half a season in division 3, playing for a side that didn't achieve promotion.

    Bargain. £10m in two years.

    Alfie Mawson-esque imho, and we sold him for £5m after one season at league one.

    I really liked Thomas and can certainly see the potential in him being a top championship defender, possibly even lower premier league in the future.

    Good luck to him.

    Makes Joey Bartons comments about him look even dafter , when Thomas joined us he said that Thomas was costing them a goal a game however the fact that we had numerous clean sheets when he played for us kind of dissed Bartons comments & I am sure Mark Robins will have had a good look at him before splashing the cash .

    Very good player and close to our best defender imho...good in the air , on the floor read the game well and was a talker and good passer.
    Good luck to him and I reckon a decent price.

    Good move for him. He's too good for another year in League One.

    Good luck, Bobby. I really enjoyed watching your performances for us, but if the asking price was £2M, there's no way you'd be signing for us even if we'd beaten Wednesday at Wembley (in my opinion).

    If you think that's daft then the club selling him are spending £19 million on a player who's never played at Championship level!
