Pepe the Horseman Given the majority of fans would've just shrugged if he was sold in the summer, this is a bit of result. Cash now, but got him till the end of the season. Would love to know how much we got, with 18 months on his contract I think it could be more than we think. Maybe closer to £500k, which is still a bargain in today's market for a 23 year old with 100 C'ship appearances.

Where are you getting that number?

StrandedClyde1998Hound When was Holmes ooc? Was it next summer
Tbh not really an issue in this deal but suspect we’ll get very little out of it. Anything above 150k would be ok I think. As said it’s Abbey I’m far more bothered about
It was 2025, so next summer.
So he likely would have been sold in the summer anyway if he wasn't going to extend, or we couldn't. If the money is OK, it may end up being a fairly decent deal as we get to keep him now. Be interesting if Luton are now covering some or all of his wages now.

Earnshaw says 400-500k
With the loan back as well I’d say that’s actually an ok price tbh.

Ascotexgunner Heartbreaking......These w*nkers are selling off any future we have of moving on. Abbey sale has angered me more because not only is he a future captain but the potential is there and a big money move...

If he rejects it I'll love him forever and his name goes on the back of my shirt.

Jesus Christ you people have low expectations. It isn’t 2003 any more!
Even £500k is a steal in the modern market. We obviously have a shit negotiating position but look at the fees for Dion Sanderson or Liam Kitching to get an idea of what the going rate for a 24 year old centre back with 100 Championship appearances is.

It is a good fee for the player, however given our situation we will be getting low-balled on every offer and Holmes only had 18 months to run on a contract where his wages weren't that great either (rumoured to be £3k a week, works out at roughly £234,000 over 18 months). I think we've done well to get that £500k considering the fees a lot of L1 players go at.
Charlton were rumoured to be paying £500k for Clarke-Harris at Peterborough, who has a very good goalscoring record at this level, for example.

Yeah those 2 mentioned might be considerably better than Holmes as well
I mean he’s been quite good for us and still has potential to get better but he’s hardly been a standout has he?
