Even if he was keen it's going to take a massive offer for Southampton to accept and a bit like with Smith Rowe it feels like we are wasting time with the pursuit Nope, definitely got ESR vibes again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I think NSWE need to land this one should Grealish Leave. If Kane and JWP don't get past the bid stage and Grealish does - it won't look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they’d want £40m at least for Jwp but probably closer to £50m - to bid £25m is ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If other clubs want to underbid for our players then we should underbid for others as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southampton might want to cash in and we’re a willing buyer. We’ve made it clear with our opening bid that we’re not going to just throw money at him. The right deal is when all parties will feel slightly hard done by but still want to go ahead with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I can’t see Southampton selling him. They’d be relegation fodders without him and Ings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I’d imagine they would rather sell a few other players ahead of selling Ward-Prowse for £25m. Ings and Vestergaard for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelVilla Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 A low bid to make the player know your interested. An art-form this tapping up thing. Hope it works out and we can get him for around 35M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 It’s frustrating. If Grealish sticks around and we get JWP and Bailey then I’d be so excited for the season ahead. Grealish going and it’s just too big of a rebuild. Come on Jack, do the right thing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I really wouldn't want us to spend the fee it'll end up requiring just for JWP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s better, £40m paid in equal instalments over a 5 year period or £25m up front? The answer is, it totally depends on the position you find yourself in. Cash is a very important commodity for all businesses. We have it thanks to our owners and thus adds a different dimension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is, we have the capacity to offer very attractive payment terms. That will be of greater overall value to some teams depending on their circumstances. Our boys know what they are doing. We should trust them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
