Lewis Brunt

Would it be super suspicious if, like, one of Top's friends made a sizable donation to the Mansfield owners' favourite labradoodle's groomer or something and then the Stags mysteriously shattered their transfer record to sign Brunt for £50m?

Reminds me of the time I made Chelsea sign Ryan Beswick for 75 million in football manager 2006.

[FOXYTALK]

Sell with a buy back clause if he's turns out to be half decent. 

[Edingleyfox]

Pleased to see he has done well with the Stags who had a great season with a decent manager. I’m guessing more like 50 thousand then 50 million though

That's some Marty McFly vision right there...

[Tommy G]

Never heard of him, presume he's bang average if on loan at mansfield?

[Stadt]

24 this year, his wages are pretty small in the grand scheme of things but we're so bloated as a club. We have to be far leaner (and meaner) as a result.

He's 24 now so little chance he will make it here. He's been great for Mansfield, a real mature head and often plays in multiple positions, a class act at League Two level, hopefully he can step up a Division. Stick a 50% sell on clause in.

It's funny because the leaked emails from Man City's dealings are literally exactly this with sponsors. Anything less than relegation for them and it's corrupt as ****.

24 in November and he's going to Mansfield, can we not let anyone go in the fear they might improve markedly?

 

Just get as much as we can and move on.

Good luck to the lad, he had a very good season and rewarded with Ligue Un next year.

[moore_94]

Just sell him and put a sell on clause in, no point keeping him and loaning him out again

“We put a bid in which was rejected and unfortunately we might be too far apart in terms of their valuation and what we can pay,” said Clough.
 

“But we will keep trying with it and we always have the loan option as well. Negotiations are ongoing.

 

“We are certainly not ruling him out. He remains our number one target.

 

“He has only had the one season in League Two and did very well, despite a couple of errors.

 

“If he plays at the same standard in League One then he might be worth a little bit more to Leicester in 12 months time.”

Knowing this football club we probably think now we’re back in the premier league we can do a Liverpool and sell our unwanted youngsters for £15m+. You have to laugh

We're useless

[Lesta2014]

We probably want a few hundred thousand and they are offering 100k? 

[Aus Fox]

The club currently hold his registration card, and will not let him go unless Mansfield stump up £25 to take the card. Sources close to the club inform me The Stags have no interest in a digital registration.

I think the club will want nearer to a million for him, maybe around the 750,000 mark.

No chance, one good season in the 4th tier and 24 in November, every chance 3rd Tier is his level. He's got interest from Mansfield not from Manchester.

 

As @moore_94 says we should get as much cash as we can for him and make up for the rest with a healthy sell on fee or favourable buy back option. Players of a certain age who have only shown lower league level interest should be sold when offered money for them with additions to make up the short fall in cash. It's highly likely he will never be good enough for a PL or top end Championship club like ours.
