    Or Douglas Costa?

    I'm all for bringing our young players into the squad this season but I think having an experienced older head alongside them (although not too many of them) can help them settle into first team football. I would personally like to have JT back for another season. We need a centre half after all and his reading of the game along with his presence and the partnership he built alongside Chester compensates for his lack of pace for me.

    £15m then and not a penny less.

    I really would prefer us to do no business with that vulture Levy. He doesn't want to pay us anywhere near the asking price so why would we even waste our time by talking to him?
  6. John
    Interesting that three clubs in our division want him. They must see something there that our management team apparently do not.

    In The Times today there is a report that their directors could be banned from football (I didn't know as directors of Small Heath that they had any involvement in it anyway) if the club continues to breach EFL profit and sustainability rules (exceeding permitted £39m losses over a 3 year period). It mentions potential sanctions include point deductions and the most severe sanction, a ban from all football-related activity for the club. Nice way to start the new season for them eh?

    Yes, I could well be wrong myself. I think we have the rest of this month to make loans but no longer?
  9. John
    I had thought it applied to loans as well but as you say not to out of contract players.
  10. John
    Agreed. Typical isn't it? A club like Burnley want a player and offer the selling club the fee they want to get the deal done. Levy could learn something from that. No doubt if he had wanted Gibson he would have made a take it or leave it £7m offer and then tried to unsettle the player. It's fortunate for us that Levy rather than Burnley were after Jack.

    Don't believe everything Sky Sports (or should it be Sky Bet) say or that The Mail see and report as news. Perhaps Snodders is staying at West Ham for now....
  12. John
    Levy needs to realise that to do a deal you have to make a bid that is acceptable to the club who he wants to sell the player to mighty Spurs. He does not and that suits me fine.
  13. John
    Nobody needs to be sold and I do not have any reason to doubt them on this or anything else. We might want to sell some players though and that might include a player that might not be willing to sign a new contract for example whose value may therefore drop when their contract enters the last 12 months.

    James Chester

    Superb stuff from JT.

    Surely letting the young player sign for Small Heath in itself is cruel and unusual punishment? If he hasn't done any wrong yet he will soon be expected to do just that when plying his trade on the dark side of the city so they could have continued to do the right thing by preventing him sullying himself by turning out for that rabble......

    I would hope the club added "if a club matches our valuation". I think we would look mugs if Levy got Jack for around half of what we wanted after all. Having said that I still hope Jack would be prepared to stick around.
  17. John
    I think you have given the answer above.
  18. John
    If Chelsea really want to do that they could sign him for £30m and loan him back to us until we are promoted and can trigger a £35m buy back clause.
  19. John
    "Villa signs for Villa" would have been some headline though.
  20. John
    If they haven't they should not be looking to sign players like Jack.
  21. John
    At least unlike Levy they can take a hint.
  22. John
    If he goes there is no guarantee that the money would be spent on players during this window or the next particularly if he is sold with an eye on FFP.
  23. John
    That's about right for Levy. Palace want £70m for Zaha so he's talking £25m less. We priced Jack at £40m and he was allegedly willing to pay half of less than half of that. I wonder if that would work for me at the Ferrari showroom? They want £242,033 for a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Shall I try offering £100,000? I've always thought it you can't afford something be prepared not to get it. Clearly Levy ignores asking prices and expects it to work. I really hope it doesn't!
  24. John
    Is he eligible to play or warm the bench at Hull? If not, as Marvin once asked "what's going on?"
  25. John
    It's reached the point where I agree we do need to seek a swift conclusion to this. Surely it's about time someone did something about us being bombarded by nuisance calls, first it's about PPI, then it's someone claiming to be from BT who claims to know there is something wrong with our computer and then it's Levy to ask whether we'd like to accept around £15m for Jack after all because Twitter and the press think we should!
