Yep, we wouldn't have much change out of that and as a team we are much worse off. It's impossible to replace his output for 100m IMO.

Front 3 of Bailey-Watkins-Buendia looks pretty decent to be fair but depends on how the 3 gel i guess.

It's the whole timing that is pissing me off. 2 weeks til the season starts and we could be left having to replace our star player, which is difficult enough but also while we're in a position where other teams know we've got a fat load of money sat waiting for them. This is just a massive balls up. Maybe we sign Bailey and JWP with the Grealish money but due to inflated prices we probably wouldn't get much more from the £100m.

If he goes then I think the club have really messed this one up. Selling our star player is one thing, but selling him 2 weeks before the season starts is ridiculous. The club should have put a date on it and if nothing had happened by that date then Jack should have been made aware that he was staying.

Have the club announced when the away kit will be released yet?

Should we take it that McGinn and Mings are off as well then if they've been replaced by Cash and Buendia?

Nick and Moto I know you're comparing Edouard with Tammy but would that not be better done in the Tammy thread?

What do people make of that Preece tweet then?

He's probably had a few beers too many again lol

I don't think there is a snowballs chance in h**l we'll qualify for Europe through the league next season. Never know with cups but I'd be surprised.

Would need some of established top clubs to fail even worse than they did this season, and there is always a chance, but I'm also not sure we can hope to make strong and steady progress every season. It takes time.

As much as I want to agree, if Jack hadn't been injured for 1/3 of last season you would think we would have picked up enough points to at least make the Uefa Conference League next season surely?

Does anyone think he might have the capability to play as a deep lying playmaker?

I think he's possibly a bit too old to be sticking him in a new position.

Depay would be a good signing on a free. Only 27.

Apparently signing for Barcelona.

55-70k in wages I would imagine. 

Surely you've underestimated there? Heaton alone would surely have been on £40k+ a week? Elmo somewhere around £30k a week and Taylor maybe £20k-£30k a week? I'd guess the 3 of them would have been earning in the region of £80k-£100k a week.

I feel like some fans are just determined to write him off or determined to downplay his season because they set their stalls out earlier in the season as not rating him.

Considering this has been his first season with us I feel he's been more than decent, comfortably a 7/10 season. Hopefully there is more to come next season from him!

Kortney Hause only has one year left on his deal.

I wonder what we could get for him if he were to leave with only 1 year left on his contract?

Although tbh I'd rather we tried to get him to sign a new deal.

i would 100% keep Guilbert as backup/competition for Cash, absolutely no need to sell him or loan him out again, if we did.....it will just mean we need to spend money on a new right back for no good reason!

I also wouldnt sell Engels, another position we just dont need to spend money on right now.

 

I agree on Cash but Engels not so much. He hasn't played football for over a year now has he? I think a young CB to come in as 4th choice and sell Engels would be my preference.

Targett, Luiz, Trezeguet and Konsa weren't doing great at that time and Nakamba and Hause got better as well

Was just about to type out something similar to this. A lot of our players who took time to settle last season have been brilliant this season, unfortunately the injury to Wesley means we haven't been able to see whether the same applies to him.

Next season will effectively be his proper second season so maybe we should see how he gets on and hopefully he will have fully settled and can show an improvement the same as the likes of Targett and Konsa!

Tie him down to a 4-5 year contract

You can see the potential he has we need to sign him up long term

I'm sure I read something saying we can't sign him on a long term contract (4/5 years) until he's turned 18? No idea how true that is. Can sign players on a professional contract from the age of 17 but that contract can only be for 2/3 years. Could be complete bollocks though not sure.

Sign a top CB, CM and RW and I’m happy this summer. Knowing dean he will sign 4 RB’s

What a strange comment.

Just now, Demitri_C said:

What expectations? Im just saying im not impressed so far.

Should i lie?

I'm just really not sure what you expect from him. He's doing a decent job. Nothing too flash just doing his job.

He's 19 in his first season of first team football. Your expectations are puzzling.

Could be nothing, but i've been noticing the club have been "strategically posting " video clips of the WBA playoff shootout on social media, with him pictured as the cover image and walking.

Could be tin foil hat stuff, but I have been wondering.

Jack - Tammy - Ollie front 3?

Is it not just cause it's been 2 years since that match?

It's worth remembering he's only in his first season in the Premier League, how many players have been written off after an inconsistent first season? That being said I'd be happy seeing him as a rotation player next season. Like others have said he's frustratingly inconsistent, however that's probably why he's at a mid table side and not a side playing in Europe!
