If we do get Nombe I might go as far as to say this is the best transfer window we've had since 2011. 2018 with Lyle Taylor, Cullen and Bielik will be tough to beat as individuals but we didn't strenghten anywhere near as well across the whole team imo.

Don't forget that the 2018-19 promotion squad contained the nucleus of our team that made the playoffs the previous season. A major rebuild wasn't so necessary, mostly just adding better quality in a few key positions.
Is Nombe actually good does anyone know? Yes he got a reasonable amount of goals last year, but Kirk had reasonable stats the season before we signed him (remember thinking from his video at the time, he looked a bit average though). So are we blinded by the stats or is he good?
"Tough one re the Nombe situation. A fantastic player for us over the last few seasons.
"But… if we’re being offered the best part of £1Million or over that, it’ll be very hard to turn down for someone with 12months left on their contract"

Surely Exeter are along the lines of Cheltenham where they really need the money. I'd be shocked if he cost any more than about £300k

The fee will end up being nowhere near that, they must be delusional.

The Exeter link above suggests that they wouldn't sell Nombe until they had first brought in a replacement.
Looks like Exeter have that player about to sign and will now sell Nombe.

But of course, only speculation by Exeter fans.
