Armadillo Roadkill Abbey was rumoured to be to Forest, to then be loaned out to Olympiacos. May be impacted by the current situation at Nottingham though.

No idea how reputable this account is, but it's reporting £300k as a combined fee. Which should cover us for 2 months at most? So bad it almost feels vindictive.

If it is £300k for both then that's disappointing, but hopefully we'll have a sell on clause for both of them. If that figures is true, it just shows how desperate the club is for money right now.

Unfortunately a sell on clause is pointless if we don't have a club to support. Heard we're only accepting cash up front for player sales apparently so doubt that anyone going would have a sell on clause

WestYorksRoyal Not sure up front cash is always better, it depends upon circumstances. Imagine we'd been in a position to negotiate properly for Olise, you'd happily forego £5m up front for a 25% sell on clause when his next transfer could be for £60m - £80m.
Obviously we need cash desperately. But don't be surprised if Abbey does well for Luton in the Championship and goes for £25m in a few years. We'll be bemoaning the lack of sell on, as with Olise.

Clubs will always prefer cash up front for academy players as it is pure profit, but will in the case of academy products insert a sell on clause and sometimes a prefered bidder buy back clause which is how we got Savage.
The buying club gets the player now for a better price by agreeing to these clauses.
In the case of Holmes and possibly Abbey a loan back for the season would also possibly lower the buying price.

Stranded6ft Kerplunk Still seems bizarre that a player who has struggled to get into a League 1 team this year is heading to the Premier League (if only for a few months). What are the Luton fans saying?
Well, he is coming straight back here so he won't likely ever play in the PL. He's still what, 23, and with a decent level of apps at Champ level behind him. If/when they go down, he will likely be an integral part of the squad/team and young enough that if he does well could see his value increase or be good enough for the PL in 2 or 3 years time, should then return.

Yeh crazy to think he's only 23. Feels like he should be 28/29.

WestYorksRoyal If/when this happens, how do you think it'll be communicated? I'm going for Luton Town statement, player messages on social media and then a 2 sentence statement by Reading FC 48 hours later.
