Loosey Boy Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Think he will end up in Scotland next summer. Just don’t see Prem or top Championship (those who aspire to win promotion) clubs being interested. Don’t see us getting anywhere near the £5-£8m some are suggesting but a lot more than the £300k we stand to get next summer (£2m perhaps?)

Bar BS3 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 1 hour ago, hertsexile said: Conway to Burnley with a bit of Twine to tie up the deal That could be very likely I'd imagine. I think I'd be surprised if any Premier league side would take a punt on him just yet & he'd get very little, if any game time. A move to a club with money to spend, who are likely to be very good in the division would be ideal for him & probably a really good signing for any top Championship team. If they are anything like they were last time they were in the Championship, then he'll have chances galore to bag a hatful of goals & either go up with them, or attract a bigger move again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 79 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Out of interest if Conway played for another team and we were interested in signing him how much would you be willing to pay for him?

I think if he was playing in a different team that was better suited to his style of play he would have scored more goals and would have a higher value. Will be interesting to see how he progresses if he moves to a team that plays more to his strengths.I don't imagine we would ever see his full potential if he stayed here.

Mr Popodopolous Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 (edited) Conway is 21 years old. 22 this August. First 2 years, hit 10 goals plus across all competitions in each season in a highly competitive League such as this. 19 in the League. He compares very well to a range of strikers over those 2 years and indeed some players at the same age who have gone onto bigger things. £2m to me feels light- bear in mind too that he has had two medium term injuries and a change of manager with alternating styles to cope with.

The Masked Man Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 I guess the way to evaluate Conway would be to look at his conversion rate and then scale that up against the number of chances he'd expect to have in a better team.

Swede Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 1 hour ago, Jerseybean said: Just wonder if this might impact on TCs future destination…..Norwich City have turned down a Celtic bid for Adam Idah understood to be around £4m to £5m. Yes, I wondered that. I had a feeling it would be Rangers purely because Celtic were sniffing at a permanent deal for Idah. But this knock back might well increase the interest and therefore the value for a player who is at the latter stages of his contract rather than mid term as is Idah.

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 (edited) Idah fwiw has 4 years left on his deal, albeit Norwich I expect could be on track to breach the 3 year rule as it stands to 2024-25.

JoeAman08 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I feel a sense he thinks he is on the Alex Scott path when he needs to think more like the Josh Brownhill path. Yes there is some potential for him to contribute to a lower end prem team at some point in his career but he does not feel remotely near that at this stage. I think he’d do well to extend for another 2 seasons after this one. Get the extra money in your pocket and develop one more season here. Have a release clause for something reasonable and get your head down. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
