we are kinda protected on players such as Ryan, Cisak, Gornell, McConville etc as they are under 24. So long as we can prove they are instrumental to our cause, we have developed them and that we have offered them an improved contract from the last one then we should still command decent money for them via a tribunal.

What did we get for Grant? I think it was around £125k plus add ons up to £225 maybe - well Ryan should smash that figure. He was released from Shrewsbury, without a club for a while then came here where he has played every game this season, and barely missed a game for three seasons.

We'd probably miss out with Cisak

We'd get something similar for McConville as we did Grant.

Not too sure about Gornell though as Tranmere would lay claim to having developed him. We've played him a lot mind but I don't think that would make much difference over 3/4 of a season.

Of the ones we could lose out on entirely, clubs don't tend to offer a lot of money for defenders in wages or transfer fee's so it might be difficult to entice Edwards anywhere significantly better than a club that he has played at for four or five years, and again, virtually ever present. Proccy would be a loss though. Maybe in our favour is that previously only similar clubs such as Macclesfield have come in for him so maybe wages wouldn't be much different.

I honestly don't think we'll suffer too much this season, compared to previous years. That is only provided that we keep hold of Coley. His body language on Late Kick Off suggested he is more than irked at recent events and I'd be worried that a club like Bury would be on the prowl. They are armed with around £175k of compo money for losing Knill so they could consider spending ALL of that on compo for Coley and all that has happened is that they have swapped Knill for Coleman. Decent swap? IF Coley goes anywhere that's where my money is going on
