    £1.2m for a lower league player seems a bit high, guy has never played at a level higher than Cheltenham / Hereford etc. If he is in the £1.2m range you have go to ask why no Championship clubs have moved for him to date

    Le Fondre last season was being touted at 2m by Ronnie Moore. Again he was banging them in. There has to be a question why a Championsip club hasn't come in for him.

    He has a better record than Hooper in the Lower Leagues of English Football, which suggests he would do a job in Scotland. Ra Sellick paid 1.5m for Hooper. As its a lower league English club (who always want silly money for their players), if your chairman is willing to fork out the fee required, I would say he would be a good signing.
    Ehh lower leagues of England? Surely it makes a big difference if you are banging them in for a team in the Championship than League 1 or 2? As far as im aware Le Fondre hasnt scored 19 goals in one season in the Championship so the price comparison to Hooper is worthless.

    i would love to see us putting 1.2 million out for a player but le fondre, i wouldnt say he's worth that much, AT MOST he's worth 600k IMO
    Have to agree ...Scores goals no doubt he reminds me of Mark Burchill when he was scoring for celtic ..Will prob end up in championship

    What about Big Clayton Donaldson scoring for fun I bet Crewe get good money if he leaves

    Same sort of level id hate to see us spend 1.2 million when there is better out there

    Whether the fee is right or not, CC has been keeping tabs on him and has had him watched.

    Le Fondre signing for £1.2m. Sounds like the usual Vlad misinformation to get punters buying season tickets when sales are slow.

    The more season tickets sold the more likely it is to happen. It's simple mathematics.

    True, but in the case of the Yams, Vlad rarely delivers. How many Yam deals in June looked promising only for technical issues to prevent closure during July.

    Seen Le Fondre a few times when he was at Rochdale and he certainly knows his way to goal, but I think it's worth questioning why he hasn't left sooner and I certainly wouldn't want to pay out £1.2m for him.

    League Two isn't a too bad standard but worth noting that Donaldson has scored 7 in 4 games at that level.

    I would take this guy in a flash. But £1.2M?? I think he is rated at £700K-£800K.
    There has been some rumour in the ALF interest for a while, he has 1 year of his contract with Rotherham remaining and is looking for a move away and upwards.

    I'd be surprised if there was not significant interest dan saff for his services.

    There were CC soundbites early in his tenure where he hinted he had support to make 'a club record signing'. I am sure we have looked at major player investment in the past e.g. Naismith while at Kilmarnock.

    I would love to get ALF at ER, but if DR frustrates you, then we'll be losing him for free and brining his younger version in for a substantial fee.

    I can only dream of the possibilty of having both on the books and being able to call upon their services as required.

    An awful lot of tapins and penalties! If you compared Riordan's goals with Le Fondre's goals and asked a neutral who is the better player, I think the majority would plump for Riordan. Not saying he (Le Fondre) is not a good player, but both players need a certain type of player around him!

    It's the chicken and egg situation though isn't it Mikey.

    If we got 15,000 ST sales we could spend this kind of money. However, from the fans point of view, not everybody wants to splash out on a ST without knowing who's going to be here next season.

    There's absolutely no danger whatsoever that Hibs will sign one player for over £1 million.

    although I can see us making a big money (for our standards) signing to try put bums on seats after having such a poor season, could maybe see us paying 500-600k for a player but not any more than that
