I'm being facetious but if Kieron Dyer says Sammy Braybrooke is the best midfielder in League Two last season, only a year on from not being able to nail down a place at Dundee then don't completely rule Cartwright out at this level. 

Joe Aribo was also the best midfielder in the Scottish League 3-4 years ago.

 

Players' performances don't always translate between clubs and leagues. At any rate I don't think Cartwright is thought of poorly in Scotland, just didn't play much.

Seems a good lad but another who Id rush to open the door for their exit

We are not getting 15M for Skipp. There is video evidence of the last 2 seasons.

Presumably we've "only" paid £20mill for Skipp? It was £20mill up to £25mill with add-ons and surely he can't have hit a single fxxking thing to activate one.

Braybrooke started every game last season and has developed massively since his Dundee stint. Think Cartwright needs another full season out on loan playing regulary, possibly a League 2 club

Unfortunatley for us the 5 mill add on clause was ‘back to back relegations’

Some serious mental gymnastics here, what a load of bollocks

Don’t strain yourself — it’s basic accounting. If a club owes you money and you owe them money, you net the balances. The £25m is just the PSR headline, not the real cost

Yeah I thinking this season might be a year too soon for some of our younger youngsters to be able to play a full season as first choice.

It sounds like you’ve strained yourself too much

Pound for pound gotta be our worst ever signing? Only thing he has on his Leicester CV is back 2 back relegations...madness for £25m!

Cough Patson Daka cough

Nobody is paying £15m for a below average Championship standard midfielder. It's not his fault JR  agreed such a silly fee and I do think he generally tries. He's a bit of a confidence player, which must have been dented over the last two seasons. If, and it's a big if, we could get £10m for him (even at a loss) we'd have to snap someone's hand off at that figure, as his value will only fall if he remains.
