What did we pay shrewsbury for Connor ? a undisclosed £2.2 million ?
It wasn't anywhere near that amount. With various add-ons, it was somewhere in the 500k to 600k range (plus a sell-on fee).

If Goldson goes then we have to be very careful with regards to making sure we can hit the required 8 homegrown players requirement. With Sidwell and Rosenior both off this summer we already probably need both Walton to be included and Goldson (who was part of the number last year). Can't help but think that this requirement may be impactful to Goldson, Walton and Baldock when perhaps in the past they would have been allowed to expand their game elsewhere for the season, or sold.
Agreed. I personally wonder where some posters £8m plus valuations come from. Goldson, much as l like him, is a central defender with hardly any Premier League experience.
Totally agree with this. Some people need to take off those blue and white tinted spectacles and look at it the other way. Minimal PL experience, not that much Championship experience, hardly played for two years, known medical condition. If we signed someone for £8m with that background people on here would be going ape about the risk the club was taking.
I Like CG and think he is a good ball playing centre back. However, I do think he is not that dominant in the air and maybe the doesn't fit the clubs profile for a centre back so they are cashing in while they can.
IMHO he is another player who is worth more to us than a transfer fee would realize.

I'm a bit surprised we are trying to keep Maaenpa for this reason. I'd have thought the easiest way to start bulking up your HGPs is by snapping up an old, past it English goalkeeper who will be quite happy to see out his career as our third choice with no prospect of playing in exchange for another year of wages. Everyone's a winner. For us, it's a HGP who is relatively cheap and comes with no expectation of playing. For the player, it's another year of money in the PL with no playing ambitions left to fulfil.
Joe Hart perhaps?
Relatively cheap?

Relatively shit.
Definately shit. He wasn't always though, I wonder what happened to him?
Loan with immediate recall if needed, rather keep the lad really like him.
