Jareth Posted August 6, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 6, 2018 Galling if Grealish goes, but it would be for very good money - and I bet if he does then we'll have a good little option (for a fraction of his price) coming in from abroad before the end of the month, we might not miss him as much as we feared.

TheStagMan Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 As I understand it from Bruce's pressers, we do not have to sell anyone due to FFP. I'm not sure why people are saying we do? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why people are saying we do? Would not be the best way going into any potential negotiation for say Grealish with everyone knowing we have to sell due to FFP. The math and the figures suggest we may have to sell players and reduce cost, would be very strange if we didn't tbh. Think the figures put out by among others The Swiss Ramble shows how bad we were hemorrhaging money and that is why people are suggesting we may infact need to sell. But we probably no longer need to give away our priced assets for peanuts anymore thanks to our new owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore we are not able to reinvest the funds. If we didn't need the money to meet FFP we wouldn't be selling him. In that case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted August 6, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 6, 2018 I hope the £6m deal for Bryan isn’t linked to Grealish being sold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see how it can’t be. Unless everyone who’s talking about balancing the books is completely wrong. I thought it was a case of selling Grealish, balance the books, bring in a few loans, free transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Bruce has confirmed we are in talks with spurs. If he doesnt play tonight we know why. I dont expect him to feature . Beuce has said although we don't want to sell I at difficult as apurs are one of the best teams in the country. However if its a big bid we will sell.

Today's events seem to back up that we don't have to sell players to balance the books. £6mill bid on a player without having offloaded Grealish or anyone else. If our hands were truly tied by FFP, presumably we'd be on a sell to buy basis, but it currently (as of 10:53 this morning) doesn't seem that we are.

WTH I thought this was something new. From the presser it was clear that we do t have to sell anyone unless a premium fee is met. I swear it seems like some people really want him to he sold the way they speculate.

omariqy Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 FFP is still an issue. We've met with the league and given them our plans which they were happy with. I can't imagine adding to our already our already bloated squad and spending serious £ is going to make them happy. Sales will be happening. I am sure Grealish will be one of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
