Reading through these posts, it seems I'm in a minority of 1 that thinks our valuation for Theo is a bit unrealistic. I am all for us negotiating hard, and trying to get players as cheap as possible, but there is not a cat in hells chance we would get Theo for anything less than £200,000. Last season at Hereford, he formed an extremely prolific partnership with Hooper to help them get promotion, and then with us, he was also relatively prolific in a side which I think punched above it's weight.... In no small part through his performances.
Not only are you buying a player who has lightening pace, and can score goals at this level, you are buying someone at an age where he has bags of potential, and assuming he reaches even half of it, you are guaranteeing your money back and then some.
I'm not saying we can afford to pay £275,000, but given how the market currently is, with extremely over inflated prices, I'd say around that figure is what I would expect. To think we'ed get him for £50,000, £70,000 or even £100,000 is totally unrealistic.
To be honest, I'm not interested in any kind of war of words between Ron and his doubters, all I'm interested in is what he can deliver for this football club in terms of concrete results - The stadium, and the finances for Tilly and Brush to do their job. If he delivers on both those fronts, then that's excellent - if he doesn't, then it will be time to ask some serious questions about his tenure.
