But he clearly wasn't undervalued when negotiated his 1 year deal at Rovers - he was a virtual unknown at that point but selected a one year term because he believed he was worth more and wanted to make a career of it here. Half a season later he's in the Exiles squad and you've got threads with the majority of Rovers fans extremely keen to retain him. His market value has obviously substantially increased in a competition with few good FBs. FC sound like they are willing to reflect this in a deal. Rovers either don't think he's worth it or can't afford it. Not sure what selectivity I'm applying here TBH.
Even though it was documented that the deal was undervalue with an aim to get a increase for 2013 you mean?
I know it's hard for you to accept you may have had to pay above market value because you were so desperate for a FB what with yours going home but try not to take it out on us.
I do now wonder what you are paying captain pringle and Gentle though seeing as there signing policy seems to be 'What are HKR doing?'(Paea, Lovegrove, Watts, Taylor, McDonnell) maybe Sandercock should ask for a consultation fee.
