They are both in the top half of League 1. I think he would have to improve his final ball to make an impression there.

Both challenging for the playoffs to the championship. If he did leave I’d hope to see him goto Lincoln, who are a lower league club I’ve always had a soft spot for. I’d be surprised if he stays in the summer if we can get some money for him and he does deserve a chance in England so he can further his career and get more money.

Josh has barely missed a game in 3/4 years. Only 23 years old with around 200 first team appearances. He`s come on leaps and bounds since we signed him.
Despite a few poorer performances in recent weeks, he`s still our biggest asset and if he doesn`t go in the summer, he`ll be away next year. I`ve no doubts that he`ll easily be playing in the Scottish Prem or decent English level in the next 18 months. Hopefully in the Premier League with us!

If a good opportunity arises, good luck to him. Over the course, he has done really well for us. I`m sure he will have interest in the summer, and we are about developing players who may or may not want to move on to better things. We have to facilitate that. The knock-on effect for us would be to attract other young talent looking for a similar opportunity and route to a higher standard of football. He is the right age for the next step in his career.

I reckon we could get MWH and MFW with the money and not have to break the bank, whilst promoting a youth player.

Miles Welch Hayes has been okay, but he has made some mistakes, I prefer Comrie who is more consistent. Edwards hasn`t had a great season but he is still pretty solid and dependable. Rarely makes a bad mistake. If he could get better at crossing he would be a very good player in this league.
If a bid of more than 200k came in for him, he is replaceable. Even someone like Lewis Strapp from Morton would do a turn for us

I don’t think some are giving Edwards the due credit he deserves.
He’s been a mainstay in our team, Mr Dependable, some of the balls he puts into the box have been excellent, he’s scored goals, defensively sound and there’s no doubt he puts some shift in each week.
This isn’t the first time he’s been a target of other clubs which evidences how good a player we have on our hands.
Personally, thinking about his career, I’m not convinced moving to a Lincoln or Oxford would be longer term the right decision, Barnsley at the time perhaps would’ve been a better shout had the offer been accepted, if ofcourse he wanted to go.
It’ll be a difficult decision for him and a risk either way, just hope whatever decision the club and he makes is the right one.
I’d think if £100k or thereabouts is the fee , I genuinely think that’s very cheap for such a young player with potential, and should be looking for more.

I don`t think it was the fee that was the sticking point, perhaps lack of a decent sell on was the reason it was rejected,
You don`t get much for 100k these days
Otoo and KRH must`ve been at least 50k with add-ons and sell on, buy back options etc but with them we knew what we were getting.
After seeing him MFW is a must sign. The potential is huge. MWH is a very tidy player,
If we started next season and our only business was them two plus kane permanent.....that would be a very good summer window, one that could see us comfortably in the playoffs next year.

Sorry chaps but I`m really not seeing any reason why Josh Edwards would be in the least bit interested in a move to Oxford or Lincoln. Hardly big names in English football. Pulling up sticks and emigrating to the nether regions, for a lad that probably enjoys his mum`s cooking and all the comforts of home, just doesn`t seem feasible. OK the draw of any of the big boys in the English Premier or Championship, fair enough but division one with a paltry £100k transfer fee? They would have to cross his palm with a very large amount to make the trip worthwhile and the size of the fee quoted doesn`t lead one to believe they have very deep pockets. Leave well alone Josh, stick with us and do some courses in your spare time with one eye on a decent career when your short footballing days are over.

Thinking back to Longridge who was the opposite of Edwards - excellent going forward but bit suspect defensively - he went to Bradford for a similar fee from memory and bombed completely.
Would be a no brainer though for him though on a financial level. Would be x2/3 what he is earning just now you would assume?

Seven years maximum of earning a decent wage. OK it`s more than he may get now but life in general and accommodation in particular being very expensive down there, unless he has something to fall back on, why bother with the upheaval? One bad injury and it`s all over. Life after football can be very challenging. Hopefully our young players are advised to consider that and engage in appropriate studies in preparation.

Raymie, Fenton isn`t able to play anywhere but Left-back, which Josh has held consistently for a good few seasons now. Fenton played at left centre-half in one game but he was forced in to it because there was literally no other option. I think it was the 2nd away game to Queen`s Park, where our squad was unbelievably depleted.

Aye, educate them to sign a 4-year deal at 7k per week, buy a nice property in Oxford, pay the mortgage down as aggressively as possible, put surplus income into a regular investment and set themselves up for life - and insure against a career ending injury.

Well you could knock me down with a feather. The way both teams are presently placed, there is little to no chance of promotion to the championship and 2k a week is substantially less than the 7k a week quoted higher up the thread. Even if 2k a week was earned for 5 years or so, the potential savings would soon evaporate if a post football career didn`t materialise.

£2k per week is substantially less than £7k per week. Completely irrelevant in this case, however. £7k may be over-pitched but it would be closer to Edward`s wage than £2k.
Even if it was £4k - that is still £208k per annum, probably over 3 or 4 years. He'd be mad to turn it down.

Their (Oxford`s) last reported turnover was £7.5m, with cost of sales of £9.25m.
Fair to say, much of that figure will be on players' wages.
Their total expenditure was just under £14.7m, which is probably around 5x that of the Pars.
That`s published - so not plucking figures out of thin air.
Where does your estimate of £2k per week come from?

Wouldn`t have thought many league 1 games would be televised so not sure why you think their allocation would be substantial. Unless you have balance sheets showing how much individual players are being paid the figures quoted are guess work.

Yes, there are other costs to running a football club. That`s why I quoted two separate figures for their expenses - one of which will be largely attributable to the wage bill.
The breaking news is that there is lots of money in English football. Most of it stays at the top, some trickles down.
There are many clubs, outside the top tier, with rich owners, from a variety of different countries, who seem happy to run their club at a loss, in a bid to get their pot of gold in the Premier League.

Across the 100 top earners in League One, the average salary is £7,045 per week, which works out at over £360,000 per year. There are 52 players in League One earning £6,000 or more per week and you would presume Josh would be in that top 52.
Anyone genuinely believing that a move to League 1 in England is not a great move for Josh is laughable and as for the "Gate v Salary" comparison, in England, it is on another level.
Josh will hopefully get his move, become a millionaire and come back for his last season after winning the English Prem & Champions League ;)

Dull? Museums, decent shops, good golf courses, theatres, plenty bars, all the usual stuff like cinemas and whatnot. Each to their own of course.

Got to laugh at some thinking Dunfermline is a nicer place than Oxford and that Edward is going to go from £800 a week to one of the top 52 earning players in that league!
Why pay Edwards £6k when he’s on a small sum here so would likely move for half that a week.

Jesus wept. I wasn`t comparing Dunfermline with Oxford 🤦♂️ I`ve been to Oxford numerous times. It`s pretty dull. That`s my opinion. 😂 I don`t know if Edwards lives in Dunfermline or not but if he does he has Edinburgh on his doorstep. Nearest big thing to Oxford is London unless he fancies crazy golf in Milton Keynes 😎

Because there are 3 League One clubs who have been linked with him - and he`ll have an agent playing them off against each other.

We should bite their hand off at £100k. He’s 23, well not get another chance to move him on for anywhere near that if we don’t take it now, & he’s replaceable.

I would give up. Some of them do it deliberately, and some just can`t do English interpretation.
You have been clear enough.

Josh hasn’t had his best season but mitigating circumstances are that the central defence has been posted missing a number of times. Who is in front of him has been chopping and changing. The midfield with our style of play is sometimes missing.
Actually we are a really difficult team to watch with our style of play.
On the upside, it is almost holiday time. Now where’s my Valium.

Hasn`t had the best season, but still voted best left back in the league by his fellow players.
Would love to see him stay next season, but can`t see it unfortunately.

Preston would be a solid move. Decent club, not too bad a drive back "home" if that`s a concern and likely a good wage.
From a selfish perspective it`s cash in the bank and also a display to other young players that if they come here and do well then they can end up moving into bigger things.

Preston are a decent championship outfit, if he’s pretty much agreed already I would like to think we got at least £200k, that’s nothing for Preston and hopefully they paid a bit more to avoid rival bids trumping them.

Surprised by the level of teams looking at him but if these are true then it`s great for him. I hope if we do sell then we add a `% of future sale` in case he develops even further wherever he goes.
I wonder if we`re due anything to Airdrie who we signed him from. It may be they had the foresight to add a sell on clause too when we signed him.

He`ll be a huge loss. Only when he goes will it really kick the gut of Pars supporters. He`s been fantastic for us. Could have done without the headers straight to the opposition yesterday though. However, overall he`s been a solid Par and I for one will miss him.

I don`t know where people think Josh will go for 100k. With a year left on his contract and a move to an English side, 200-400 is a likely range, I would have thought.
