[Royals and Racers]

Surfaced today Bindon off in January for 9M to un-named buyer.

If true it would be a shame but this is how we have to operate moving forward. 9M is a big figure and will let us sustain the academy and our safety for at least 2/3 seasons. Would be nice to have a percentage of future sales thrown in as well.

I’d take £9m for him tbh, although I’d be very disappointed to see him go. He’s out of contract in the summer.

Hopefully that would allow us to bring in a couple of players (even on frees or loan). It would also cover the club’s operating costs.

Jeriel Dorsett played centre-back in the EFL Trophy, so I wonder if Ruben is planning for a future without Bindon already.

He’ll go on to play at a high level and wouldn’t put it past him going on to Premier League level.

£9m for someone ooh in 6 months. No brainer, go for it - but how much would you get if he was contracted for another year or two?

[Mid Sussex Royal]

Seems an unrealistic fee for a L1 player out of contract in 6 months.

If true its a no brainer

[Snowflake Royal]

That sounds an incredibly implausible amount given our situation.

But we were never likely to hold on to him for long. Pure class. Just missing an extra yard/ few inches from being clearly a top player. And he may prove to not need thatto get there.

Two goals for his national team yesterday (allbeit against the ‘mighty’ Vanuatu)….ring-a-ding-ching £

Only it won't will it?

I suspect it will end up like the Olise money, allowing the bastard Dai to cling onto the club even longer without bothering to sell and without putting any of his own money into the running costs.

[WestYorksRoyal]

There may be some truth to the rumour, but £9m is bollocks given his contract situation and the division he plays in.

[Hound]

Sure they’ve not added a zero too many on there?

He’s quality but would be suprised if we got more than 1.5m for him at best

I do also not really have any enthusiasm for these sales as it does just seem to let Dai hang on but the alternative isn’t pretty either

[tidus_mi2]

No way he's going for £9m, maybe a deal worth potentially up to £9m.

This unfortunately.
I have been convinced from day one that he is destined for much higher and we should thank whoever spotted him in the first place.
Quite a bit of the John Stones about him.

The best centre-back prospect we have had for years-the last really good one was Steve Wood who we sold to Millwall and but for injuries IMHO would have had a good career at the top level.

[Sutekh]

Hope whoever buys him loans him back for the rest of the season.

Agreed on whoever scouted him out. He’s looked quality from day 1. Wonder who it was. We have some very keen talent spotters in and around the academy

I believe there was an element of luck in it rather than brilliant scouting, his family moved to the area from the US last summer.

Not seen anything on Bluesky so assume this is bollocks.

It's not true until it's on Bluesky.

I actually decided against signing up. What a faff.

Bit irresponsible of the OP to post a rumour without stating where it actually came from.

A source with knowledge- will that do

Unlikely if its Birmingham
