If you ignore the £275k we paid, you are right.

Selling a Scotland international for 1.5m in 2022 certainly is not great business. It would be very weak.

I didn't realise you were a weegie.

Therefore your opinion is not valid.

I’m not. So that’s just fictional and not valid like most your posts.

Ramsay could be confirmed as a Liverpool player tomorrow. Some papers are saying he started his medical last night and the majority of it done today. 

Hopefully it is confirmed then we can crack on and get our incoming business confirmed. Ramsay transfer has dragged on for what feels like fucking forever. 

Ramsay sale does not affect players coming in. We already have a set budget. This sale and Ferguson eventual sale could only enhance that 'war chest'.

I’d accept £2.5m & add ons with 20% of any future transfer fee.

If we don’t sell Lewis Ferguson this summer we end up with an undoubtedly unhappy player and whose contract would only have 18 months to go in the next window.

Then we would be looking at the £1.5m being offered now.

If we got £2.5m you’d be talking about us taking in £8m with McKenna’s promotion add on, Ramsay & Ferguson.

Bank £5m & spend the rest cleverly to rebuild. 
We also have a heap of weekly salary to use on the 11 or 12 or whatever it is that’s left. 
 

A sensible post in 232 pages of predominant guff. 

Young Lewis has to be sold this window and £2.5m sounds around the value we should hold out for. He's decent but not great. 

If we can reinvest in around 5 or 6 decent players + promote 2 or 3 up and coming players from the youth set up we might, just might, get back on track.

Ferguson would be a good fit for newly promoted Forrest 

He would indeed.

They've cash to splash.

Give Steve Cooper a shout and let him know Fergie is available at the right price.

£2.5M still seems too cheap for a Scotland international at 22..

Answered your own question there fella. Anyway, just a counterpoint to your 'happy to stay in the championship' dismissive - Millwall are very much a progressive club nowadays 

43 years in a row in the 2nd division/ championship. Average attendance last year? 13,700.

Of course it will have an effect. If you know you have that money coming in you'll be looking at trying to attract a better calibre of player as you can spend more on a fee and soend a bit more on wages. 

That's my reasoning for the incomings being a bit slower because we have to wait for Ramsay to be sold before actually finalising deals. I suspect there's a few agreed but we couldn't complete until Ramsay goes. Happy to be proven wrong though if you know better ?

Noted Ernie.

But he's on the fringes of a very ordinary international side. If we got £2.5m would grab it. Championship would be more than Lewis's level. Never an EPL player in a month of Sundays. 

Also reckon that McKenna will get ripped a new one this season. 

However having read Liverpool's chat forum Ramsay, if he adapts as they hope, could do very well in due course 

Finally what's happening to Cosgrove's career, is he still attached to Birmingham? Still cannot believe we got £2m for someone who simply had a purple patch + a few penalties.

Shane Duffy managed to play most of the season at the heart of Brighton's defence...

Smaller club than Aberdeen, probably spending well beyond their means like most clubs in that league hoping to make the promised land. Still if they want to cough up a few million to take that hun cunt off our hands who am I to complain

As Partick Thistle are to Glasgow, Millwall are to London. 

2.25m and 15%, deal.

Sorry, I knew what you meant, but I was being a prick. At heart I'm a pedant and a lot of the spelling and malapropisms have been bugging me lately. I'm half cut, therefore you bore the brunt.

Stand Free Mr Rome

He doesn't want to here but to be fair he puts in a decent shift most games

Based on the fact he doesn't want to be here and contract is running down

Take what's on offer now

They were in ye olde top flight First Division in 1990, before the Premier League invented football in 1992.

Sell. Sell. Sell. 

Add ons. Sell on fees. 

It used to be about football but now it's just about counting other people's money. 

Hope the monorail works.
