Popular Post Woodytom Posted January 27, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2017 If grealish is used as any sort of deal regarding Rhodes then il be royally **** off. Not necessarily because I rate grealish highly - I actually think he has a lot to prove - I just don't get bruce's obsession with Rhodes. For me it should be simply, right here's 6m for Rhodes. What you want more? Tell you what...... **** off. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you want more? Tell you what...... **** off. Agreed. We sold Gestede to them for what, £6m? It took him all of about 20 minutes of his Premier League career to score more goals up there than Rhodes ever has. So anything more than that and they can do one.

Woodytom Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 A player, who unlike Westwood, it genuinely would be interesting to see him with decent players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you want more? Tell you what...... **** off. I don't know if Bruce has an obsession with Rhodes, but the papers do. Clinical striker at this level and available, club with money who don't score enough goals, it's an easy click. I wouldn't be surprised if we do get him, but it won't be for some fanciful Grealish swap, or even £12m. It might be somewhere in the middle but they will look to shift players first, I'd think.

Fowlersrs Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 For me. I'd be disappointed to see him go particularly now we have so many more quality midfielders But I don't think it's such a big deal if he does leave.. he's gotta raise his game between now and the end of the season or his prodigal child status is gonna dissappear pretty rapidly.

Vive_La_Villa Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 It seems a lot in thinking it would be good business to sell him. He is bad news for the club in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm totally off the mark but I wouldn't lose any sleep if we sell him. In fact I think Championship will remain his level anyway. I also think it's bullshit that boro even want him.

I don't see it and I don't understand where it's coming from? He had some disciplinary problems off the field, I don't think that makes him an ungrateful brat? He was a 19/20 year old lad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 So, I have inherited this large block of land. There is a lot of rubbish on it, it costs me a bit to maintain, but it is in a great location and has a lot of potential. Already, I have received some mildly generous offers. Since I have inherited it, if I sold it now, I already would make a profit. But if I invest the time and money into it, get rid of the rubbish, it will be worth many times more than the best offer. If I put a house on it, or even consider subdividing in the future, it will be worth even more. Maybe I don't really want to sell it all, because it is something that is mine, and once I sell it, its gone, along with whatever future I dream to have with it. So, selling Grealish, is that really good business? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, selling Grealish, is that really good business? Analogies are fun. But they all have weaknesses. This one assumes the value will increase with a bit of care and attention and time. IMO the more we treat Jack as a golden child, the less likely he is to come good and increase value. If you assume or guarantee he will rise to all his obvious potential with some time, care and tending. I would agree we should keep him at all costs. I'm just more inclined to assume the opposite. I think it's more likely he will not mature to his potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you realise that, just thought it worth reiterating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Who are these people treating Jack like a golden child exactly, the fans saying not to sell him? the manager that's dropped him a few times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he met Trump, he should've stood up for decent values. Instead, he supplicated and kowtowed. His advice in the 'Relationships' thread has destroyed families. He deserves all he gets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelVilla Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 This is the player I want to see with better teammates. There is potential there; he just need to work a little harder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
