The New Raith Rovers Thread

£35k will more than buy his contract out, which has been my fear since we've been relegated. 

If we do let him go for that (never mind the pishy add-ons that we'll probably never see), then that's an absolute shit show from the club.

All for bringing youth players up through our ranks and eventually selling them on but £35k for your club captain who's been at the club for 10 years in absolute insanity.

In the past year we've released Laidlaw, given away Bates and by the sounds of it virtually given away Callachan. 3 youth players we've spent time and money on developing and we've brought in probably under £50k.

No wonder the club is struggling financially.

Reece Donaldson as well, wasn't great but still got to our first team.

We bought John Souttar and Isma Goncalves for 150k each. 

£80k+

Now, there is absolutely no way anyone will pay that for him. But, he is worth almost the difference in revenue between the Championship and League One, because as one of our better players him not being here could be the difference between promotion and another season in this league. 

I would rather we refused to sell and he left for free, in order to maximise our promotion chances. Anything but a high fee and it isn't worth it for us.

For our club captain who we spent years developing, more than 35K. Not sure what relevance the price of John Souttar and Isma Goncalves is unless you're using that as the price level for a Premiership level player which by that logic you should have punted Walker to Sevco for about 200K.

The disappointing thing is the valuation Is likely about right. Maybe we could push for £50k, but that's about it. We're not in a strong bargaining position and the player likely wants to leave (good opportunity, higher league, maybe European football on the future, has to take a pay cut here etc). 

But as fans, he is worth more than £35k to stay at the club. Youth players done good. Club captain.
