I know there is debt and we are losing money year on year but I think this would be a good gamble to take, let MM spend money if he sells. I think Bart is quite happy here anyway but with todays market its not out of the question someone could offer money such as that if they wanted a number 1
If we were talking that sort of money then it would probably be a bid from a Premiership club.
Tbh as much as I like Bart I have my doubts many top flight clubs would see him as a No 1 and I certainly couldn’t see them paying that much for a backup keeper.

Perhaps so, but I wouldn't put it past a championship club in this day in age. But a lower prem team may consider him. Who knows, the transfer market is crazy these days. Nothing much surprises me

I agree, as good a shot stopper as he is no prem club would offer anything remotely close to 10 Million as other aspects of his game are flawed

A January move is pretty unlikely. May be different come the summer; but, whilst Bart has many fine qualities and probably kept us up last season, there are equally good or better keepers who would be on Pship club’s radar. At £10M he would almost certainly be a back-up keeper at that level, and don’t think he would want to move to a Cship club - unless, perhaps, it was Wolves!
