    Radio Sheffield have spoken to the club and confirmed there's been no approach for Cole from any of the aforementioned clubs, and have reiterated he won't be sold unless a sizeable offer comes in.

    I wish I could believe them and trust them, but I don't.
    And I wonder what would they call a sizeable offer ?. The 500k that has been suggested btw is an insult, for a player as important as Cole is to us.

    2.5 million would be great business for a player with 6 months left.

    If we'd had an offer of £2.5m he wouldn't have been anywhere near the matchday squad today.

    Only thing with me if that deal is to happen it needs to happen before the end of the window or will it just be a similar scenario to Kitching good money but no time to recruit.

    Great shout. Reckon Harry Kane will go on scoring well into his 30's.

    I don't want him to leave, his value to us was plain to see tonight. But £2.5 million is completely mental money for a striker at the end of his contract who's never really performed above the 3rd tier.

    20 goals should be a doddle now. 25 sounds plausible.

    No ones paying £2.5m for him. Our only hope of keeping him is to get promoted otherwise he’ll leave on a free.

    That would be the dilemma if anyone was mental enough to offer us £2.5 million for Cole. Which I'm pretty sure nobody is.

    Would that be the Lumsden that was decent on loan and then sh*te thereafter, that Lumsden?

    Absolutely no way someone is paying £2.5 million for a player in league 1 that is out of contract in 6 months.

    Keep him here until his contract ends and he should get 25.

    His finish tonight was class and will have done nothing to stop the rumours

    Who was the last striker to get 25 in a season for us?

    Bruce Dyer never got more than 16 in a season. Higgy got 19 and Winnall got 21. If Devante beats either or both of those he is our best striker in 30 years.

    £2.5million for a striker who’s got no record of success at any level higher than he’s currently at, who has only five months left on his contract, and who turns 29 at the end of this season?

    He’s very good and we’d miss him but you cannot argue that it would be wrong to accept that. The argument about £8million for going up is moot - as him staying nowhere near guarantees we would go up and him leaving doesn’t guarantee we wouldn’t.

    Surely nobody has offered that money for him? Makes no sense, he’s out of contract in June. I wouldn’t take £500k, I’d consider offers above that. But £2.5million? I can’t believe it is true but if so, I’d be behind them accepting it.
