Whys Fabrizio reported on this then Baring in mind we got £150k+ for Lewis I really think we’ve missed a trick here. Could’ve sorted our Croasdale replacement for the next 5+ years with a good chance of earning a considerable fee later down the line. We missed it in the summer but too late for this January, he was linked solely to top half L1 clubs.

Suspect there may have been a release clause for 300k that only allowed him to go to a club higher in the pyramid though.

This time next year, more than possible we'll be going toe to toe with teams like that for players. Bristol Rovers will almost certainly be in League One next season, we can't be as sure.
They have quite wealthy backers, someone from the Middle East, perhaps Kuwait?

I think they're involved in The Gas industry.

There’s an interesting article on The Athletic today about PL loans, the ups and downs for L1/2 clubs and why so many are happening, as well as so many January recalls. The definite message I took from it, which I think is borne out by our experience, is it’s going to be a lot easier to attract a higher quality of loan player in L1. I think that applies to transfers like this as well - our setup, budget, everything could be the same, but being in L1 as opposed to L2 will open a lot more doors.

Its always been the case of premier league clubs wanting to loan out their better players to the highest league possible that they think their players will improve at. As a league 2 club we,ll be third choice and in league c1 we,ll become second.

He’s too good a player though to not replace

Vale nutter chasing the ref! Another absolute knob head, why did he think that was ok and where were the stewards he should be banned and Vale should also be looked at for a lack of security, I do despair with the state of some people these days.
