Transfer Rumour Jack Grealish

[ToffeeTim]

Well that’s that

Not necessarily

That's City's starting position but everyone knows they don't want Grealish. So they don't have a whole lot of power over the negotiations and will probably have to change their position.

This is not a deal that's going to happen quickly. Probably weeks of City waiting and hoping for a better offer, but ends in a deadline day loan.

I wonder if he would renegotiate his wages to make a deal happen. Sit on the bench and wave good bye to your world cup chances and make 300k or move somewhere and play and make 200k. I know that is unlikely but at this point is money or playing time more important. Reportedly, sancho was willing to renegotiate lower to move to bvb. Alexis sanchez and pogba apprently have done it in the past.

Roughly £15.5m to cover his wages for a year, doable if they dont want a loan fee

 

[Bazlar]

Looks like they're stuck with him then

Dibling wanting to play with him is proof that it is a good idea. Think it will make us more attractive in the short term while we improve results and hopefully he can contribute as well.

 

[ToffeeScot]

I hope we don't bite. Id be surprised if anyone would take him on 100% wages so either they'll have to accept a lower proposal or it will go to deadline day.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

WTF does early stages even mean?. I never understand how this stuff takes so long. Surely you just ring or message the people involved and bloody ask.

Maybe it's like 12 year olds asking someone out, when you'd ask your mate to ask her mate to tell her you like her?

So Moyes phones Iraola, who then phones Arteta and when Arteta talks to Guardiola he blushes, smiles and says ''I don't know, I'll ask Jack''.

There are only a few clubs in the world that pay those wages and none of them want him.

Maybe less because the loan period would only go up to June 30th?

 

[Gerbs]

Beto prefers to run into it than have it on his head so probably not a massive problem tbh

The problem is finishing it when they’ve slipped him through

 

[D410]

Took us too the end of the window to ask the big financial questions.

Our recruitment team is completely out of there depth.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

If we get Dibling, I think we will find a compromise with City. That would mean we could afford to wait and City probably don't want a disgruntled player on silly wages. They will likely be negotiated down.

 

[blue to the bone]

Ben Jacobs is fully believable now is he !

I dunno mate, who is going to be more desperate on deadline day? The richest club in world football or us with 5 injuries and sitting in the bottom 3?

We’ll probably agree his full wages and to take City’s point deduction for them.

Baffling how anyone believes anything that Ben Jacobs or Alex Crook say. Most people have them at Tier 5 and they are banned on many football fan sites.
