I know nothing about the lad, but 43 games in League One at 19 and playing regularly for his age levels England team is impressive. He is certainly the profile of player (like Collins) I absolutely endorse the club bringing in.

Contract expires in June. You’d imagine we could get him for less than £2m?

If he stayed until the summer you'd imagine they would get less than £2m so perhaps a fee of £2m in January including add-ons would be hard for Fleetwood to turn down

19 years old, nearly 50 games at League One level and England youth international, you'd expect a decent tribunal fee if it is left until the summer, plus possibly a bidding war amongst clubs.
If the lad has potential and we're interested, get it done and sealed in January.

Some cracking defending there and if he's that good offer £4/5 million to clinch the deal.

Fair point. Had forgotten about the tribunal fee.
Agree with jedi_master that he’s the type of player we should be looking to bring in, although do feel we need a young LCB too.

The type we should be targeting. I was hoping he was a central midfielder though ….

What’s most impressive is getting called up to the England Under 20 squad with Fleetwood- 99% of the time the age group managers don’t look beyond the Premier League youth setups.

£2million won't be enough for a player in the England set up

I’ve still never forgiven his Dad for that handball on the line for Preston in 2007.

A lot of high profile clubs been to Highbury to look at him. Some very high profile clubs abroad too.

Surely he’d be better at Fulham with a name like Jimmy Hill!

If he doesn’t sign will he be sent to Coventry?

Last time we tried to sign a highly rated player from Fleetwood and we didn't match the asking price we missed out.
This time we need to be on the front foot and get the deal done to sign early in the window
,especially if we are going to loose Tarks.

A very level headed young lad who is also an excellent tap dancer!
