Naylor's article was written before the possibility that Baldock would go to Reading became clear.
If Sam leaves, it either reprieves Tomer or it means we recruit another striker.
I think Balague let the cat out of the bag by stating that there is an agreement to buy if we stay up.
Of course the club wouldn't announce this formally at the time - if we were relegated they'd look like announcing the buy clause was tempting fate and they were foolishly counting chickens.
Yes. SING him up.
( I thought the secret deal was done anyway - if we stay up ).
Locadia, Murray, Ulloa + another new signing ( Powell ? ) would be a great 4 strikers for the 25 next season.
