Bradford City creeping up, Will they be willing to pay compo though.

I thought he could sign for another club and if the clubs can't agree a fee then it goes to a tribunal. Given his goal scoring/assists record in the EFL and NL I can't see him being valued at £100k. Its a risk that a signing club might not be prepared to take. A guide would be how much we paid for the lad from Barnet. The league will know even if we don't.

If there really are several League One clubs interested, it's up to one of them to make a decent compensation offer that Pools are willing to accept. An interested club holding out for a tribunal to set the figure could end up paying a lot more.

At the minute, seeing is believing. Meanwhile, it's less than a month till the EFL season starts...

It does go to a tribunal but will still be about 70-80K

I don’t believe any League One side would be interested. His goal scoring record, even in non-league for us, is far from impressive. He never looks fully fit to me and is too easily pushed off the ball. The only thing going for him is his age, and the fact he might improve and get fit.

Agreed. Of course, this begs the question what happens to Joe's career? I could imagine an NL or EFL 2 club signing him for nothing but I cant imagine anyone offering a fee for him. Would he sign for Pools as a last resort (after all, he has bills to pay like the rest of us) and try and prove himself?
