He wouldn't need to negotiate a release clause. He'll be 24 by summer 2024 so would be able to leave for free. This is what we did with Jordan Moore-Taylor. Not sure we should repeat it with Collins.
I asked the same question. No-one seems to know.
Beardmore?

Club website...

Goalkeepers (3 (realistically 2) for 1 position)
18 Blackman | 22 Lee | 33 Arthur (maybe?!)

Defenders (8 for 5 positions)
2 Caprice | 3 Sparkes | 4 Stubbs | 5 Hartridge
12 Key | 26 Sweeney | 27 Grounds | 39 Diabate

Midfielders (7 realistically 5) for 3 positions)
6 Harper | 8 Collins | 15 Chauke | 16 Kite
17 Taylor (injured) | 21 Coley | TBC White

Forwards (5 (realistically 4) for 2 positions)
9 Stanno | 10 Nombe | 19 Cox (1m loan) | 20 Brown | 32 Iseguan (?)

That is a tiny-er squad! We need 4/5 more players to finish the season OK in my opinion...

FWIW, I have a friend who plays for Crediton alongside Jack Arthur and I can't imagine he will play for Exeter City again based on what he supposedly did.

Why 'realistically'? Who are the four who we should not consider realistic?

Arthur (seemingly "under a cloud"?)
Harper (car share with MJ back to East Anglia?)
Taylor (long term injured)
Iseguan or Cox (unproven and far from "oven ready" I'd suggest?)

Next question. Anton?

Incidentally I meant 6 for midfielders but you raise a great point re Harper. In theory, he should take Dieng’s minutes…

Transfers will happen. Some we will expect, some will be a surprise but I can't believe how many of you are seriously considering Archie Collins to Rovers as something that really might happen. Everybody laughed off Watkins to Mansfield even when a genuine offer was made. Why? Because on all levels it was laughable just this Collins rumour (and as far as I'm aware that's all it is) is. The comparison are all there to draw on. Sideways step to club with greater aspirations than they can back up in the same division as us with a basket case of a manager. That's why we laughed it off then so why so serious about this now?
like many not a fan of Barton although IMHO for all his obvious temperament problems he was a better player than given credit for.

As for manager I would not call him a basket case he is doing a decent job for Rovers and I would not write off their chances of possibly making the playoffs.

Pains me to say it Ryan but I fear we maybe should still be adding Stubbs to the "not realistically" roster?

While it is encouraging that he has finally managed to hobble to the bench for the last game it will take a few consistent hours on the pitch before I can be fully reassured. 😒
