So presumably that would be a similar deal to the £1.1m+£1m add ons that has been quoted.

Brilliant if we can get that, it’s a win for both ourselves and BW.

Ideally the incentives would be based on if they get promoted and not his performances.

Snatch their Hollywood hands off.

And give 80% of it to Oxford if Mills is as good as people on here believe.

You'd hope that it probably buys us Mills + midfield replacement, id say decent business to be fair.

Bite their hands off.

Wonder if it’s full up front or not, suspect it’s not going to be a full £2.5mil sadly, I be happy if it would be.

Considering @allthingspne suggested the first bid was £1m I’m glad we stayed firm and we got more. £2.5m for a club who barely sells for significant fees is decent. Take it, run and reinvest!!!

I know it's only daft press talk but he ain't no "Midfield general" in my eyes.😂

I wonder what our value of the player is?

Initial reports seemed to indicate we were apart in valuation so if there bid is £2.5million and it doesn't meet what we want, I'm hoping we're not after stupid money as I'd be happy with that fee.

1m + sell on to United for Dan Gore and up the Mills bid would be a sensible situation to end up in

I think the first bid was 2.1m with 1.1m up front. Seems like they’ve upped the initial fee to 1.5m

Whiteman Out - £2.5m
Smallbone in - Free
Simple

I really don't care Keith, however it is made up, he isn't worth it.

I know I was joking about for five million but realistically I didn't think we would get half of that.

 

[PR5 White]

£2.5m + whatever small amount we have left in the 'pot' to essentially buy half a Championship squad😬

That's a lot more of a fair price than what had been previously mentioned. Given what they spent last season on players of a similar age, that amount is about right.

Hopefully that's a guaranteed price, and not including possible bonuses.

And you were doing so well.🤣

Can’t wait for the Free agent plodders while Peter enjoys his retirement.

 

[shabbagaz]

He’d instantly be our best player but you’d need to be offering Whiteman’s wage and more just to tempt him

It's what we need to be doing if we're to stand any chance of avoiding the drop (sad that I think our aim next season is just to avoid the drop thanks to a painfully thin squad).

Surprising no one has snapped him up yet

Tried their luck with us as they knew the situation. Glad we’ve not folded and accepted. If this is the correct fee in a new bid, then take it and run.

It's fuckin anorexic

Hopefully guaranteed, not based on promotion. Couldn’t face sitting there hoping they go up. 🤢

Wonder if we will find out more about the make up of this bid.?
