Sunderland bid £2m for Keiffer Moore.

You'd be pissed off as a Barnsley fan if you sold your main striker to a promotion rival after rebuffing advances from a Championship club a few months earlier!
 
Sunderland getting decent money for that Maja who is off to Bordeaux, deal rising to £4.5m.

Helps to reinvest when you have crowds as big as theirs.

Our offer would have been nowhere near £2m though.

While we got Stockley for less than half that - beginning to think we did rather well there. In fact started thinking that about five minutes into his debut.

Is he not referring to the January window only rather than at the end of the season?. No club would buy Robinson in January whilst he is injured.

Depends how close to fitness he is and how much they want him
 
We've been told that Robinson is out for the season. I'm not sure anyone is going to offer big money for a player who has been out for two thirds of the season and who hasn't been able to show he is over the injury and back to his best. Think of the players we've had who didn't come back as good - Woods for one and Mawene for another.

I think the chances of Robinson being here next season are unlikely.

I was kinda hoping that, with him being injured and (possibly) not having played football for the 6 months prior to the summer transfer window....clubs may not be willing to spend the big bucks on him yet.

Another winger signing would probably be planning ahead. Ultimately Barker, Nmecha (can play wide), and Robinson are all unlikely to be here next season. Maguire can play wide but we have to remember how injury prone he is.

That seems reasonable though I still hope that after his lay-off Robinson might think it in his interest to sign a one-year extension to his current contract in order to re-establish himself next season even if only to up his value to a potential bidder. But if that is not the case then we sell him for as much we can get in the summer.

As for wide players next season then we should certainly have Barkhuizen, Bodin and Ginelly. But we will also have Potts and Harrop who though they can play in what is nominally the central position are really only going to find opportunities wider as long as Browne is playing. With Stockley and Moult as upfront striker options then Maguire will also as you say be likely to find himself playing in wider roles and if Browne is absent then he too could be used in that more deep-lying central position. So even if Robinson goes we should still have plenty of options from existing resources.

I think that was the gist, they had just discussed incoming deals and someone asked about outgoings, while they were discussing if any of the “big hitters” could leave (Pearson, Davies etc) his phone beeped and he turned to Seds and showed him the text and said it was from PNE and it said non of the big hitters would leave, presumably this window.

As I said, it seemed genuine, he seemed surprised, make of it what you will?

He isn’t signing a new contract. Premier League interest in him. I suspect his departure may have to wait until the summer given his injury.
