I didn't really see us going for Tammy, but considering Chelsea have supposedly lowered their asking price and by the sounds of it we're now trying to offload Wesley, this now makes alot of sense.

Why do his legs look completely photoshopped from their usual tank like status in this?

That's how i feel as well. If you want a player enough to activate a release clause, you don't then spend over 4 days negotiating the way to pay it, especially when you know the player has also been offered a new contract.

Can play anywhere across the front line too and would be a similar style player to play when Watkins is unavailable rather than changing to a different style forward. There's a lot to like

Yeah I cant understand why a centre forward isn't getting this attention from them

He should never be doubted again

We haven't been doing any pre or post match pressers for pre season so I highly doubt you'll hear Dean say anything on the matter. People will just have to wait until he's back next week for clarity.

He could have just done it because of all the messages he's getting too, but yeah, it doesn't fill you with confidence.

I mean, if we're serious about him, there's still plenty of time for that to happen.

Exactly. If you also know clubs are going to add £10 million to a price because of Grealish's potential move, why start budding at £35 million plus, you're just costing yourself more in the long run.

Also the real stalwalt performers through that run were Luiz and Trezeguet. Yes Grealish scored on the last day, but he wasn't the one who got us to the last day with a chance of staying in the league.

This thread is terrible for my productivity today

On another attacking ball carrier that can win us lots of free kicks. No idea who that is but hopefully the scouts know.

He signed his deal last year, same as Jack. It's no more disrespectful than City's bid.

Or they're that desperate to stay under the 100 million they're willing to sacrifice a project player for a guaranteed first teamer.

One things for sure. If this goes through it'll make Fifa career mode kids and Football Manager players giddy with ther potential rebuilds they could carry out

A local boy from Halesowen most of us had never heard of until a few minutes ago lol

The crazy thing about this is that Rogers is clearly valued at £10 million in that deal. They signed him for £3 million from West Brom and he's played 25 games on loan in League One, scoring 6 and assisting 4. Yes he's young and English, but to think he'd cost the same as some people want to sell El Ghazy for. Whatv has happened to football?

Yeah the history isn't good, but that was a history ran by predominantly Lerner and then Xia. After everything NSWE have done in just three years I think they need to be cut some slack even if he does go. History could repeat itself and we could end up a selling club that never truly challenges, but they really don't strike me as the sort of people that would be happy with that.

He'd be first choice at Newcastle, where I fully expect him to end up.

If he goes there it'll be devestating for the Premier League. City walked to that title last year. If Grealish joins them then that's basically a title decided.

Very defeatist. I completely appreciate it can feel like we'll get back in to our old cycle of being a selling club, but I think the difference is when the other players left (Yorke, Barry, Milner, Young etc) they were very good players leaving a decent to slowly middling team. This Jack situation is very unique, he's a truly world class player in a decent side. I don't for a second want him gone, but the possibility is still there to reinvest in 2 or three positions and make the overall team a much stronger outfit. Let's not forget we've struggled every time Jack was out injured, and that needs addressing even if he stays. Creating a stronger unit could still give us a boost and push us on a level, rather than having to resort to selling our best players every summer. Utilise the money like Liverpool did with Coutinho and we could boost the whole club. That said, I'd much rather we not face that possibility, and I hope common sense prevails and he stays to become a bonafide legend at the club, and takes us with him to where he wants to be.

No one actually knows what the asking price is in fairness, the figure has come from the press. Until our board formally accept any bid, if at all, none of us have any clue waht the asking price is. Plus our owners don't need the money, so it's completely feasible there is no asking price and they could just flatly refuse to sell, which would put the ball in Jacks court as to whether he gets his head down, or puts in a transfer request.

Yeah I agree. It doesn't necessarily mean he's off, but it indicates the club is at least prepared for the possibility of him leaving.

It depends when they filmed and took the pictures as well, although I find it strange the other three players that were present for the home kit one, filmed in May, are the ones used. That could easily imply that the away one was done at the same time and they've edited Jack out. Or it could mean nothing and these three were used more recently. If it was more recent though I'm surprised Buendia wasn't included.
