The Stewart injury might have given us the luxury of keeping him until the summer. Either a club will want to do detailed scouting on him and they haven't seen enough at this level or he's a signing for a club preparing to panic buy in which case we can add another 50% on to the price.

I'm very happy with the recruitment so far and over the long term, I'm not worried about losing anyone. But I think the 2 mentioned are amongst our 3 prize assets and it's a huge void in the team. I wouldn't expect any replacements to have an immediate impact which might be cause for concern this season.

We should be negotiating a loan back deal on Cirkin at the very least.

Nah the point will be that spurs will sell at a higher price quickly.

How much of a fee do Spurs need to get to make that worth their while though and who is going to pay it?

Surely for them to be confident of being able to do that, there'd have to be a lot of noise about clubs being interested in him. We've not heard much beyond the Spurs rumours.

I have heard that both Brenford and Brighton have had serious looks. I guess that doesn't mean they will pay the big licks but we will see. Hoping we can keep him but have a feeling he will be away.

Both excellent clubs for younger players, but neither the kind of club to pay over the odds - especially when they both have a strong first choice already.

Say if Brentford were willing to pay us £10m, Spurs could buy him for £6m and agree to sell him to them for £8m if they agreed not to bid direct, meaning both clubs are £2m better off. Cirkin would get a cut out of both deals.

Its a bit ****ty, but its becoming more common - think there was a similar situation when we signed Dajaku or someone else...

But out of that £2m, how much do you have to pay Cirkin and his agent? It's got to be enough of a bid to make it worthwhile for everyone.

They'd also have to speak to Brentford and find out their level of interest first and also encourage Brentford not to just bid £6m to us directly. Why wouldn't that be better for them?

If I was involved with any of those clubs, I'd be getting him now if I could. They won't be buying him in two or three years time. He is already more or less that level IMO.
