Mark Albrighton Posted August 20, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2023 It was literally about a month ago that he was being praised for coming back into pre season training early after the England U21 tournament so any suggestion of him being sulky would be something of a sea change.

I thought he looked a bit un-interested when he came on. It was like he's one foot out the door already. He might just look like that generally? However, he didn't really do much of note besides pick up a yellow card. Move him on and stick a buy back clause in there just because. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 I found it interesting he didn't even look at Unai as he was briefing him to come on and looked really ticked off when they showed him on the bench. Would like him to stay but Duran coming on before him spoke volumes to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 If we get the purported £18m fee and a buy back it’s a win win situation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted August 23, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 23, 2023 Some discussion about him coming back to us if Sheffield United are relegated, but unclear if that’s accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khizzy Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 If I was in Birmingham I'd drive him up to Bramall Lane myself (only because it's about two miles north of where I live now so it wouldn't be too out of the way for me ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let another team gamble on his clearly great potential if we are not using him. Buy back clause for 10 million more on each player we sell should be fine and for ffp reasons it's a no brainer as it's pure profit selling and buying back is spread over the contract length. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monchi is a serious negotiator. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted August 23, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 23, 2023 £18m is a good fee, and the buy back removes the chances of us missing out on him if his talents come to fill fruition. An excellent deal and it’s 100% profit again 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 £40m for 4 academy players is decent business, hopefully gives us some wiggle room under FFP. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awol Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 At least one season of regular Prem football is exactly what he needs. Hope he does really well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 When he was struggling for Solihull I doubt many would have ever expected we would get £18m for him less than 3 years after. Wish him all the best. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted August 23, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 23, 2023 I know it's shit, but we've almost had half a Grealish in terms of FFP leverage with the sales this summer. It's a huge advantage compared to clubs that have a lacklustre academy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
