Moxon

I’d of been surprised if they’d accepted 250k and unfortunately this now alerts other clubs if his agent hasn’t already done so.I’d of thought we’d have to double that to get him to be honest,dead ball specialist.

Not sure it'll take double, look at other similar deals or fees quoted, Mendez Laing proven L1 midfield/forward 300k to Bolton, Tommy Leigh Accy L1 midfielder 200k price tag, Matty Virtue alleged 200k price tag, Norburn allegedly cost around 300-350k

Moxon looks a good player but 500k for a guy who's yet to play above L2 is high when you consider the alternatives
 
I guess we always start low to test the water and see if there is an interest in them selling. I'd imagine we'd need to double that to have a realistic chance but who knows what financial position Carlisle are in? Not many clubs are signing players for decent fees in L1.

To be honest I thought he had two years left on his contract but it seems it runs out next summer so possibly a bid of 300k/400k may well get him.type of player we should be going for imo.
 
£500k might tempt them, he apparently has 12 mths left on his contract, and if he doesn't want to sign a new one (not saying that's the case), then they'd be looking to cash in you'd expect. Carlisle fans seem to think a seven figure fee is what he's worth, however, you just aren't going to get that for a player who's highest level of experience is league two. We sold Yates for £2.5m with two years left on his contract and he was one of the highest scorers in the championship. I suspect £500k wouldn't be too far off if we really wanted him. The question for me is, where would he fit in? We already have Carey and Morgan.

Quote from the Carlisle forum:

“laughable offer. Can't blame them for trying their luck though, they probably know exactly what our owners are like for accepting derisory offers.

I don't think we should even entertain anything less than a million, but wouldn't be surprised if 350 - 400k tempts our board, based on what we've accepted over the years for the likes of Dempsey.”

They aren't going to get anything like £1m for a player with 12mths left on his contract who has never played above league two. Not a chance. They'll either sell for around £500k max, or they'll let his contract run down. I suspect they'd be tempted to cash in and re-invest.

He's a different type of player than both Carey and Morgan. For a start he's much bigger and whilst creative, has a very impressive work rate and isn't frightened of putting his foot in. I for one would be delighted if we can agree a deal.

Sounds promising then, a midfield three of Norburn, Trybull and Moxon would be very decent. It might be a signal that we're about to accept the offer for Virtue perhaps.
 
If we pulled this off it’d be the signing of the Summer.

Creative midfielder who had 6 goals and 15 assists in League 2 with about 2 chances created a game along with 1 dribble completed per game.

He’s a Rolls Royce of a player and a reason he had so many plaudits last season.

6’1” so a great height too, would be perfect. Hopefully 250k is just an opening bid and we’re willing to more than double that because I think he’s worth at least worth 1,000,000

Don’t care about how he fits into the team, when players this good are available you take them.
 
His value on TransferMarkt is 400k.

With 1 year left on his contract and no sign of renewing surely 500k is enough to get him?

That is unless they value a full season of him in League 1 as more worth more than 500k (which it might to them if he helps keep them up).

Adding him would put us at exactly 3 attacking midfielders (Morgan, Carey, Moxon) and 3 holding midfielders (Trybull, Norburn, Dougall).

That’d be outstanding depth in midfield for this season.
 
Watched him in the play off final and he was the stand out player for me. Granted that's the only time I've seen him play, but if he's like that week in week out then £500k seems reasonable with him only having 1 year left on his contract.

We would need to sell. Having too many can have a negative impact.
 
Someone on the Carlisle board reckons he's coming to us for a fee of around £400k. No idea if there's any truth to it or if the person is reliable.

It’s an interesting read on their forum, the exact type of reaction you want the selling club to have when you’re in for their player.

I wonder if we’re selling Virtue and replacing with Moxon? I’ll be very happy if we get this over the line.

I can't imagine there would be room for Virtue as well, so it wouldn't surprise me at all.
 
From the Carlisle board:

"Can only post what I’ve been told by a reliable source.
The club has decided to cash in rather than lose him for nothing which is understandable.
Surprisingly the only club who’s shown genuine interest is Blackpool and I believe the fee rejected was 200k with add ons and though this has been made public today the bid was actually turned down yesterday and a follow bid of 400k has been accepted.
A player coming the opposite way as part of the deal was a potential but I’m told he rejected the move and is heading to a league two club."

Sounds like they're referring to Matty Virtue who's chosen Wrexham. Would love for this to be true

I'd love this to be true, but as long as it doesn't turn into another Brannagan situation then I don't know enough about him to be fussed one way or the other. Sounds promising though.

Hmmmm, I hope this is true.

But I also wonder why no one else was interested?

Could be because there are few clubs who could afford or wanted him.

400k doesn’t sound like a lot (especially to us now with Jerry money) but to clubs in League 1 even at the top there won’t be many who can afford that.

Every Championship club could afford that but doubt there are few who’d want to spend on a player whose only proven in League 2.

For a footballer that is 25 and played all his football before joining Carlisle at Scottish League 2, it seems like a lot of money. I could understand it

if he was 20 or 21 like Carey when we signed him and had the potential to improve with games, but at 25 it must be a gamble to see a return on

the investment.
