Nice story but blimey, the club might as well just make him run around with a massive "For Sale" sign on his back.....enjoy him while we can 🙄

wouldn't be surprised if clubs have made contact already, as usual we'll be the stepping stone for 'bigger' clubs to make millions :roll:

Well to be fair and balanced, he probably has no resale value

It's pretty obvious he won't be with us long. He's been a pro footballer for 4 months and already looks like he could cut it in League One. IF there is already interest from Championship clubs, it's just a matter of time, unless his form disappears.

Looks better than Eisa and younger too than he was at the time

Archer is a great prospect but he's still very raw, whilst I expect him to be sold on let's not pretend he's of similar value as Eisa who scored a ton of goals and which we benefited from a family tie to sell for the price we wanted. I, myself, can see him going to Peterbrough for a lowish six figure fee in January and maybe loaned back to us for the season.

If "bigger " clubs make millions we will get a good percentage. Some people get better jobs and move on. Football clubs do well to get compensation for what is an everyday change of employment. Does not happen in a lot of sports.

No chance of that . I don't think he will go in January to be loaned back.

I'd be very surprised if he goes in January. He's only been pro for four months! I can definitely see him going to L1 in the summer though.

Certainly shows that there talent in non-league football. Archer and Thomas look capable at this level, and Jude-Boyd is a good addition to the squad too. Dulson has struggled a bit more getting up to speed but it’s a risk worth taking.

Jude-Boyd was signed from the Championship.

He didn't sign from QPR. He was released at the end of his contract, so a free agent. He made no first team appearances for them.
His only experience of first team football was with Torquay in National League South last season.
