Numerous sports media are claiming that Watford have agreed a deal worth £1.5 million to sign Stevenage teenage centre half.

Just think what Jim could do with a player budget of that amount.

I guess we will never know !

If we'd a player like that we'd probably only have him tied down on a 1yr deal and then get peanuts for him.

Closest we've got is Sam Lavelle who in todays inflamed market and with his age a significant factor could be worth circa £500,000.....if not more.

Hopefully get him signed up on a 2 if not 3 year deal and give him extensive first team experience and his value could rocket.

However being a Northern based player, fess are never as high as in the South for such talented youngsters.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't on this one.

How often have we been lumbered with a player on a 2 year contract when we'd ideally have wanted to get rid of him after 1 year? Adam Campbell will probably fall into this bracket this Summer.

Also Vadine Oliver on a 2 year deal I suspect, although it wasn't confirmed at the time of him signing.

As much as I like Vadine, I think he could be a bit more aggressive and improve his placement of headers won. Tuesday night he had 2 glorious chances to win the game for us but his inability to direct his headers was for all to see.

I recall the big guy from Mansfield who directed all his headers to a colleague, something that Vadine should be able to do.

I'd say Ben's age is a significant factor. How old must he be now? About 50.......??

If Ben is worth £500k, what must his son, Sam, be worth ??

No team at any level can carry a number 9 who doesn't score goals!

Or maybe not.

I think you'll find that if we got 1.5million that would leave the accounts at roughly 0pounds and 0pence, so at least it would be better prospect to purchase........

Only for a short while the accounts would appear debt free..

Another 12 months on and the accounts will be down £500,000+ down again, with not being self sufficant, and i should imagine going by every season since the move another 100+ fans will vanish this summer. too.

Or George, alternatively, a new owner may pay half our debt off, use the balance to give the management a decent playing budget, and coupled with a decent cup run, oversee a profitable season, attracting a further investment from stadium sponsors buoyed by our success........

Yeah could do, or at least a budget to match Accrington Stanley, then yeah anything is possible.

The Radio was on about em, think they said they can go up today, they set a good example to clubs like us.
