Max Watters signs for Cardiff City

Exactly, Yems and Bradbury have definitely put down their transfer targets to Erdem which we can secure in the window and Max’s fee will no doubt go towards acquiring them. I’m really happy the club put the appreciation for them both it’s nice to see.

Can’t believe what I’m reading on here. If we have got anything close to 1m (plus any future add one?)what a fantastic result after 15 appearances from a signing most on here dismissed. I was very concerned for the future of many clubs and with this fee and the cup money it could turn out to be a very good season financially and lets not forget Crawley is a business that needs to balance its books. The main point is though, if the player wanted to move and lets face it he would be mad not to, how motivated would he then be for the rest of the season? What does the manager then do with a player that’s had a dream move and a ten fold salary increase blocked by the club. If he plays him could seriously damage our promotion chance and if he’s not playing his value is only going one way.
From a playing point of view, we have just put in a run of possibly our best 3 results with away wins at F Green, Bolton and then Leeds all without Watters. So to dismiss our promotion chances is very defeatist and quite insulting to the other players. That’s nothing against Watters, has shown lethal finishing and wouldn’t shock me if one day we are watching him in the premier league. In my opinion losing Nichols would damage us more. Not only has he hit double figures, but is a target man, link up man, workhorse and has provided 6 league assists to Watters 0.

There is an exemption for work travel if you can't work from home, and I guess his legs don't stretch as far as Cardiff.
N.B.  I'm allowed to travel to carry out my work too.  I am a lone outdoor worker.

Would you gamble £1m...?

Those amongst us who are convinced that if we retained our current squad, we would definitely make the playoffs...
Are you actually convinced enough - to the degree - that you believe the club should reject ANY current offer...?
Even if just one of those offers is a guaranteed £1m...!

I hope the club passes some of the transfer fee on to Maidstone.

If it wasn't for them we would not have signed Max in the first place.

Maybe a £1m deal, with money from appearances, promotion, sell on. He has great potential but the 16 goals for us are his only league goals and he has much to prove.

I can remember all the lines when Tubbs and Barnett left, and they both went backwards. Let's hope Max is different.
