    Eaves if we can find a suitor, but we've been looking all summer and no bites by all accounts.

    I think ( and it is just my opinion ) grant and his team feel we have enough with KLP, wilks, Scott ( who has played almost all his time as a no9 untill he came to us ) etc who can play through the middle if needed. I get the feeling they want someone similar to JM to really push him and challenge him for a starting place and they just aren't getting that with Eaves

    Scott going out instead of Eaves would give us the same ability to strengthen the No. 9 position surely?

    I think it will be a case of whichever we can get out the door first, it's proving difficult with Scott due to his agent wanting a fee and the Scottish teams interested in him don't and won't pay agents fees for loans

    Looking at Saturday again on I follow, it doesn't look like forward positions are as much as an issue as an experienced centre-half.

    I'd tend to agree, but the ones who see the squad day in day out seem to feel the CF area is what's needed.

    Are we likely to see Eaves paid off to leave?

    I'd say that would be very very last resort

    I thought the embargo prevented us from paying anyone off anyway. We can't pay fees, or loan fees and you'd expect to see paying off a contract to bring in another player as us benefitting from that spending.

    As per usual, the EFL rules make zero sense and follow no rhyme or reason.

    Maybe we should just beg the EFL to waive the restricrions like Derby?

    As far as I can see despite the begging bowl being presented it remains empty.

    Fair enough, presume that the Austrian team didn’t pay anything for Mayer and we just let him leave.

    Aye, contract terminated by mutual consent.

    How do barca get round the fair play money rules? 1.35 billion in debt and wages at 105% of income.

    I respect Thomas Mayer for his comments. Good luck to him, there’s a player in there, we just weren’t able to unlock it.

    Then that's even more respect to him that he didn't kick up a fuss. That's a proper professional, good luck to the lad.

    I think the fact he had another club lined up so he got a fair chunk of his remaining contract paid and has a new club and wages almost instantly, made it very easy for him to not kick up a fuss. He's financially much better off with this situation then he would be just sitting with us getting stagnant

    Did he sort it himself? Either way, it's a great deal for both parties. I liked him and he obviously had talent, but he wasn't going to dislodge KLP or Wilks and Williams coming in sort of put paid to his Championship career.
