Most think £1.3 million would be a fair valuation to sell on the talented young trio and the club's scouting network to spot them in the first place has been praised.

Lee Crossan said: "It depends how long they have left to run on their contracts, if we were pushing for promotion to the championship I'd say no but as we were fortunate to stay in the football league I'd say take it, this has highlighted how good our scouting has been for a small club"

Richard Kail said: "I'm expecting players like those three to go at the moment anyway. It's our new transfer policy.

"Bring up youngsters and sell them for a profit, if we can't get the crowds every week, we need something to supplement. I'd probably want closer to £2million for those three combined though."

Andy Hart said: "Would hope they would include some clauses regarding future transfers say 20% of future sales"

Andrew Waight said: "Wow, take the 1.3 million and run straight to the bank laughing. No way in a million years those 3 are worth 1.3 million."

Richard Kail reckons selling on to higher clubs is good business which can help make up for relatively low crowds at the People's Pension Stadium.

He said: "I'm expecting players like those three to go at the moment anyway.
