tapping up players whilst still under contract has gone on from the early days of football. it always will and will never end. size and money always win in the end and the bigger and stronger eat up those lower down the food chain. stanley being very low in the food chain need to be quite wary just to survive and use everything and anything just to do so.

Its a tricky one for us.
Just got to decide what you want for an asset and stick to it.
Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
I remember when Clark was getting towards the end of his contract we decided to put him on the transfer list in January and circulated the 72.
Plenty of interest but in the end when told the fee it was no thanks we'll wait until the end of the season and get him for nothing.

From the BBC:

Baraclough added that Dion Charles will make his senior debut against the Americans at Windsor Park. The Accrington Stanley striker, who has scored 17 goals this season, was left out of the matchday squad to face Italy.

"Dion will play some part in it and it is important that we get to have a look at him. He has been chosen for a reason," said Baraclough.

We probably wanted to much different scenario with Dion he,s a striker a golden nugget when on form.

Dion is on the bench for Northern Ireland's game against the USA today, really hope he gets the chance to play but if he does, please please don't let him get injured

May I suggest, if you haven’t done it already, that you make a sacrifice to the VG of F.

So you dont think theres the possibility we will want too much for Dion ?
I think theres every chance we will.
As the value drops the personal terms for the player increase. Dion has time on his side but has to add another 15 plus next season.

A ‘Confident’ debut according to BBC reporting. Well done Dion!
Stanley will need your confidence in the matches to come in League One!
A great day for Dion to remember for the rest of his life.
Another ZERO added on to his value?

Exile on Spencer St · 28-03-2021, 19:22

Onwards and upwards...?

you can always go down from the initial asking price but you cannot go up. if someone is stupid enough to pay over the odds then its a win win for stanley.
