Same way he tried to go to Tottenham when we were in the Champ + tried to go to United last year. He doesn't love the club, and is just another player at the end of the day. The posts calling him a legend are a bit sickening, he's nowhere near that. He's guided us to an 11th placed finish and has less club appearances than J'Lloyd Samuel and Mark Bosnich. Ashley Young and Dwight Yorke both played more and scored more than him for us. Yorke even won something with us. Really not sure why he would be held in any esteem at all if he sacks it in. We're actually on the up and can give him comparable wages at the moment which is a very different situation as to when our best players last left. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our owners are potentially not far off as rich as Abu Dhabi so they should probably start acting like it if they're serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 If we were planning on Signing 2-3 players in addition to keeping Jack, we would then maybe be looking at signing 4-5 players if we sell. So 4-5 players at an average of 45m each...yeah, I'd feel pretty good about the upcoming season, even if it took a while to bed them all in. Kenneth gif.

So you don't think that Buendia, Young, the other £60m odd we would spend even if Jack stayed plus £100m + would improve us over last years team less Grealish?

MaVilla Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) thing is, i can see a scenario where selling Jack for 120m would actually be beneficial for the team. thats IF, we spent the full 120m on 3-4 very very good players, plus the 80m we were already gonna spend, ie: a full 200m. BUT, those players we bought for 200m, would need to be top keck and actually take us to the next level without Grealish. It could be done, but the recruitment team would 100% have to ensure they had their weetabix, and NWSE would have to show their cahoona's by reinvesting every penny. the risk is we have 200m to spend, and spunk it on trash, im more confident now than at any time in the last 20 years that we have the right recruitment team....but you just....can never be 100% sure. (especially with our transfer istory over the last decade). Obviously i would prefer to keep jack, but gotta be realistic also, i mean...Leicester managed it......maybe we could too. Selling him 15 days before the season starts, with numerous players to bring in if it happens, is super risky.
