Thank God we dismissed those derisory offers. What a performance today, especially second half in defence and of course in attack.

I said we needed £1m minimum in the summer. It’s £3m now in January if anyone wants to even start a conversation.

I was impressed how often he appeared in attacking positions during open play.

He is getting better and better. MD is turning him into a proper footballer

The window hasn't shut yet! Hopefully the big boys have done their business already

But yes fabulous stuff from him and a number of others too

Great ball playing from the back and I am sure he is getting faster as well.

Anyone top end L1 or lower Championship who needs a fairly solid defender that can get goals would be mad not to come in for him. But I hope they don't.

He will leave one day but it will be for a top ten Championship side at least. That is how good he is already, let alone after a season or few in L1 with Duff.

If Boyle continues to be a threat at this level, he will be gone. We just need to sell for right price. No 30k and a friendly!

I've said it before but WB is attractive partly because he is left footed. Teams that like to play out from the back will need a left footed centre back and they are pretty rare.

He is getting better every season too. I think we will see him leave in January if not this month I'm afraid as there is little prospect of him signing a new contract.

Hmm hope not.

I will kid myself into thinking he will sign a 3-year contract just to ensure we get a bigger fee.

Ipswich just paid £750,000 for Cameron Burgess so if we sell for £200,000 people on the board need to be removed. Get him on an extended deal with a realistic release clause (for Championship sides) so it suits all parties.

I think we need to get him and a couple of others tied down with the remainder of the budget (other than bringing in another forward). Put in a release clause for championship sides (maybe £400,000 or something fair).

£400,000? Talk about little old Cheltenham.

Release clauses by their purpose have to be set at a level which does not allow him to go cheaply, and usually higher than opening negotiation values.

£3.5m for automatic release.

£3m to get a seat at the negotiating table.

If a club offered us £300,000 I have no doubt this existing board would snatch their hands off RCS.

Shameful if they do.

Hopefully Cameron Burgess is a benchmark for what his market value is. Would agree with RCS on if the board buckled at 300k
