I wonder how much super Clive would be in today’s market, if we were in for him?1

I just googled him and he doesn't seem that rich...? Plus they have not spent much money since he took over. Only three fees paid in five years.Braziliance said:
They will laugh at that fee. Their owner is absolutely loaded/owns businesses that do a lot of trade, and has a lot of ambition for Stockport. He's a Man City fan and a local (so I've been told) who bought Stockport cause he wanted to be involved with football but has completely fell in love with the club.Swisdom said:

Do you think Olaofe is worth 2 million?Swisdom said:
We paid between £300 - 400k for Ahadme up front with the rest based on appearances and other factorsChunes said:
I remember reading the same about Ahadme when we signed him for an inflated price!MrBurns said:
If he does well for us then his resale could be 5 million plus and he hasn't reached his prime yet. I don't think we can stick to just freebies and loans. For Championship clubs a million isn't a lot for one player (same for a few League one clubs)Bostonaddick said:He is strong, athletic, is good at pressing and has very little skill and is not a good finisher. Sounds like a reserve player. Do you pay 1 million for someone is only going to play 20 minutes a game?
we wanted him to go on loan on January but he refused and wanted to stay and fight
id be very surprised if he gets much game time in the championship for us
be could be in time but at the moment he’s a bit too raw
but he could be one of those that steps up a level and really fits in well as he has excellent pace and power. And for that reason he could be a good punt. I would think stockpot would struggle to resist £750k to be honest
All their sponsors are businesses he owns. Their main sponsor traded 2.2 billion a few years ago. 750k isn't going to make him start shaking.
750k is unrealistic and cheeky for a player under contract that the club doesn't need to sell. As an example again, think about our team. We have players like TC, Ramsay, Coventry, Edwards, all in their early to mid twenties, all playing really well. If a club offered 750k for any of those, and the club listened, would people on here actually think that would be acceptable or that the club would take an offer like that seriously?
Don't go into your local supermarket I'd say to anyone who thinks these rumoured fees are a lot, the price for a pint of milk might floor you.0 -
Why use Google you could just ask on here 😉8

Barnsley's owners are extremely rich, you don't see them splashing much cash either. Just because someone is very rich and owns a football club, doesn't mean they put all their money into it.Chunes said:

I was told about their owners by a guy who works behind the scenes at football clubs, and has done work at Stockport. Again, like the rumour, third party information, but if what I was told is the truth, a fee that low won't be taken seriously.

Right but if he's an owner who's not willing to splash cash, that would mean an injection of a fee would be an attractive proposition, rather than something they 100% would not care about.Braziliance said:

I know Stockports owner, he is absolutely loaded and has supported County all his life, he has blue blood running through his veins.
About 8 years ago, I went to his house for the first time, in deepest housewife's of Cheshire territory. I pulled up at these huge gates, then continued up a winding drive for about half a mile then came face to face with his house, it was huge beyond belief, more like a stately home. To the right, there was a building housing 6 garages with supercars in each one and a 4 bed annex over it. Most Aussie farmers would have been impressed with the amount of land he had.
I got out of the car, said wow, what a house and he said thanks then said they were moving. Bloody hell I said, why would you want to leave a gaff like this?
Its just not big enough was his reply!15 -
Now there is a question, thanks for your response...🤔Croydon said:
It's a rumours thread. There is literally a rumoured signing currently being discussed. What were you expecting when you opened the thread?eastterrace6168 said:Been away for 24 hours, come back to 200 posts, gave up after first two pages and skipped to the end, so nothin' new the anywhere, that's a surprise...🙄0 -
It would be, but not for a 6 figure fee. These quoted fees of 2 million, 2.5 million, 1.5 million etc for these players we are being linked with are the going rate. Need to remember as well Millwall have a sell on fee for Tanto so they'll want to consider that.Chunes said:

Unless you do your scouting work and find a talent (like Edwards & Ramsay) it is dreamworld to think you can buy a good player under contract from a sustainable club for such low fees. This is the market now, like it or not.
The quoted fees for all the players we have been linked with are good value when you compare them to football transfer fees floating around.3 -

I don't think 750k is a low fee in L1... I think it will be one of the top 10 sales of the year. I'm not sure Olaofe has done enough to prove himself one of the top 10 players.Braziliance said:

I'm not saying they will accept 750k but I really question the idea that 2 million would be the going rate for someone like him.4 - Sponsored links:

I don't doubt that someone has been told he is moving to us, you'd have to be a very odd person to pretend you heard something from someone and post it on a football forum.Yann897 said:
I was just clearing up that it is third party information, and another poster on their forum said it has come from a wind up. If you look at social media lately, more and more people are trying to be funny and make up transfer rumours to see how far they will spread.
I thought I would share some stuff about Stockport as it's one of the few times I actually have knowledge about a club and know people that 'know people'.
Take it all with a pinch of salt, as what I have been told could be misinformation, but if it isn't, Stockport will not take an offer less than 7 figures for him seriously.0 -

Yep fair enough, it probably would be a top 10 sale in League one, and I would also agree that his record isn't crazy impressive, you're more so paying for the potential and other aspects of his game he offers.Chunes said:

if you compare him to let's say Richard Kone who is of a similar profile, both quick, both strong, both can lead the line a bit, a handful etc, the main difference is goals and age. 8 goal swing and a 4 year age gap. Kone was quoted at 6 million, and it looks like he still may move for a similar fee, surprisingly. I don't see how Tanto can be worth almost ten times less.
With these fees floating about, and clubs knowing that one really good season in the championship essentially increases your players value five fold, it isn't surprising that league one clubs are looking for 7 figure fees minimum and add ons etc when selling to championship sides. They would be foolish not to.0 -
You seem to be arguing against yourself. If the owner was so loaded that £750k was peanuts then why has he been reticent in spending on fees over a number of years ? On that basis £750k might be enough for him to shift.Braziliance said:

Fur coat and no knickers perhaps ? Three fees paid in five years doesn’t scream Stockport blue blood. If he’s that rich it sounds to me like he likes to be careful. Nothing wrong with that of course. He has got Stockport very close to The Championship after all.stockportaddick said:I know Stockports owner, he is absolutely loaded and has supported County all his life, he has blue blood running through his veins.

The Stockport owner is very wealthy, as our ours.
He has rebuilt his club, runs them well and has had success, remember they were non-league when he joined.
Our owners are rebuilding our club too but not made as much progress as Stockport, as yet.
All of which is lovely but the player is unlikely to care. He may want to stay with Stockport or may fancy a bigger club in a higher division near to home and with higher wages. I have no idea.
We may offer £5 or £5m but Stockport don't have to say "yes" either way.

Well yes because the likes of Ipswich, Birmingham and Wrexham have in the last few seasons massively distorted the "normal" levels of spending.Chunes said:

It would be, but not for a 6 figure fee. These quoted fees of 2 million, 2.5 million, 1.5 million etc for these players we are being linked with are the going rate. Need to remember as well Millwall have a sell on fee for Tanto so they'll want to consider that.Chunes said:

They will laugh at that fee. Their owner is absolutely loaded/owns businesses that do a lot of trade, and has a lot of ambition for Stockport. He's a Man City fan and a local (so I've been told) who bought Stockport cause he wanted to be involved with football but has completely fell in love with the club.Swisdom said:

we wanted him to go on loan on January but he refused and wanted to stay and fight
id be very surprised if he gets much game time in the championship for us
be could be in time but at the moment he’s a bit too raw
but he could be one of those that steps up a level and really fits in well as he has excellent pace and power. And for that reason he could be a good punt. I would think stockpot would struggle to resist £750k to be honest
All their sponsors are businesses he owns. Their main sponsor traded 2.2 billion a few years ago. 750k isn't going to make him start shaking.
750k is unrealistic and cheeky for a player under contract that the club doesn't need to sell. As an example again, think about our team. We have players like TC, Ramsay, Coventry, Edwards, all in their early to mid twenties, all playing really well. If a club offered 750k for any of those, and the club listened, would people on here actually think that would be acceptable or that the club would take an offer like that seriously?
Don't go into your local supermarket I'd say to anyone who thinks these rumoured fees are a lot, the price for a pint of milk might floor you.
Unless you do your scouting work and find a talent (like Edwards & Ramsay) it is dreamworld to think you can buy a good player under contract from a sustainable club for such low fees. This is the market now, like it or not.
The quoted fees for all the players we have been linked with are good value when you compare them to football transfer fees floating around.
I'm not saying they will accept 750k but I really question the idea that 2 million would be the going rate for someone like him.
if you compare him to let's say Richard Kone who is of a similar profile, both quick, both strong, both can lead the line a bit, a handful etc, the main difference is goals and age. 8 goal swing and a 4 year age gap. Kone was quoted at 6 million, and it looks like he still may move for a similar fee, surprisingly. I don't see how Tanto can be worth almost ten times less.
With these fees floating about, and clubs knowing that one really good season in the championship essentially increases your players value five fold, it isn't surprising that league one clubs are looking for 7 figure fees minimum and add ons etc when selling to championship sides. They would be foolish not to.
This is probably one of the reasons for our efforts to remain fairly low key and not get caught up in bidding wars.1 - Sponsored links:

No arguing here, just applying some logic and answering Chunes replies.ShootersHillGuru said:
You seem to be arguing against yourself. If the owner was so loaded that £750k was peanuts then why has he been reticent in spending on fees over a number of years ? On that basis £750k might be enough for him to shift.Braziliance said:

I was told about their owners by a guy who works behind the scenes at football clubs, and has done work at Stockport. Again, like the rumour, third party information, but if what I was told is the truth, a fee that low won't be taken seriously.
Can believe what you want to believe, I said why I don't think that would be enough, this is information from someone who has connections (without sounding like the mob). You can choose to ignore the information I shared, or take it with a pinch of salt.
Football is moving at a very fast rate with transfer fees. We spent up to 1 million on Ajose? 300k or so on Magennis? Ricky Holmes in the same area, that was almost a decade ago in lg1.Chunes said:

From memory, I am fairly sure Stockport were northern premier when he took over and he ploughed 7 to 8 million in to the club just to save them because they were in a desperate mess and close to extinction, not all money has to be spent on the squad. You are either a die hard fan or a nutter to chuck that sort of money at a non league club. He then guided the club from oblivion in the northern prem to the brink of the championship in a few short years.ShootersHillGuru said:
Fur coat and no knickers perhaps ? Three fees paid in five years doesn’t scream Stockport blue blood. If he’s that rich it sounds to me like he likes to be careful. Nothing wrong with that of course. He has got Stockport very close to The Championship after all.stockportaddick said:I know Stockports owner, he is absolutely loaded and has supported County all his life, he has blue blood running through his veins.
About 8 years ago, I went to his house for the first time, in deepest housewife's of Cheshire territory. I pulled up at these huge gates, then continued up a winding drive for about half a mile then came face to face with his house, it was huge beyond belief, more like a stately home. To the right, there was a building housing 6 garages with supercars in each one and a 4 bed annex over it. Most Aussie farmers would have been impressed with the amount of land he had.
I got out of the car, said wow, what a house and he said thanks then said they were moving. Bloody hell I said, why would you want to leave a gaff like this?
It’s just not big enough was his reply!
Moving forward, plans have just been passed to expand the stadium capacity from 11k to 18k by redeveloping the pop side and railway end.6 -
Absolute no for Tanto Olaofe for me. Sorry if already posted.
It was him that missed the big chance in the third minute of injury time against Orient in the home leg semi and they went on to lose on pens of course. Made himself space then blasted over. I said to myself at the time (as was watching alone, so i was my only witness), "that is a sackable miss". I was disturbed/ annoyed that a professional footballer would take that chance in that fashion.

Was chatting to a Stockport fan after the game up there this season re the owner. He was full of praise obviously amd said that they have been paying big money on wages. They had some bloke who was in the prem with Sheffield utd recently (cant remember the name) and this chap was like "what's he doing at county? Its purely the money". They may not spend big on fees. But wages aren't an issue when competing in lg1. So i imagine the centre forward would command a decent fee especially as hes under contract. Although maybe he hasxa release clause? But surely someone would ha e flagged that already?1

Fella who got the winning spot kick don't look bad.1

Olaofe is the type of forward that Nathan Jones absolutely adores - being a defender in his playing days, I’m convinced the first question he asks himself is “would I like defending this bloke or not?”Makes a lot of sense to me…6
Sounds like it’s come from someone in the know and with a podcast.
