Re: Derby set sights on Symes :(
I thought Symes was younger than what he is so in retrospect the fee would probably be nearer to the 100k mark than the 300 or so that I would have expected if he was three years younger. A lot will depend on IK and what sort of state our/his finances are in. He is worth more to us than 100k so it would be daft to sell him. Purely on profit and loss though it would look extremely good on the balance sheet having turned a 100% profit on him. You'd also have to think that at 26 years old this would more than likely represent his last chance at a reasonably big move.
Grant however is entirely different. He is young enough for a big club to realise they could still mould him in whatever manner they wish. They would pay premium rate for that. £350-400k should be realistic. And that would be money we couldn't and shouldn't turn down. But I also think that Grant would listen to his Uncle Coley and choose wisely should the offers come in.
