I find this move strange. Very few L2 players have ever raised over a million and I don't think he's the best in this division. For example, that makes Norwood and Cook worth over a million and explains why Micky struggled to replace Andy. Prolific goalscorers are rare at all levels. Nors will see this news and will surely see out his contract - unless Palios cashes in in January, which might happen if we are comfortably placed in midfield with little chance of going up or down. What also intrigues me is the timing. I can only assume that it was Dale Vince brinkmanship to get the best possible price. But it leaves FGR with a big hole and only a teenage loanee to fill it. But the money will keep the club afloat, whether they stay up or not.
I am now wondering whether something similar is happening with Franklyn Akammadu and he will be transferred to us in January.
