Some do, some don’t.
Any unknowns are a bastard for budgeting so it makes sense for both the buying and selling club to agree a fee so that they can adjust their purse strings accordingly during this busy period.
Now the story’s out there (which the Nevitt one never was), there’s a the invite for others to come in and ‘do a Gillingham’.
His numbers would certainly merit interest from L1.
He is reliable but he only says ‘closing in’. Let’s hope that means we’re passing him the pen to sign his contract rather than just started the bidding. We’re probably slap bang in the middle of those two scenarios.
Someone like Joe Taylor would be the dream. Joe Taylor himself being as likely a signing as Harry Kane after scoring 10 in 19 in L1 and picking up individual accolades. Wouldn’t surprise me if he’s in Luton’s matchday squad next season.
