Sounds like Spurs fans still trying to Justify that he's still coming, or the press still praying he leaves. Bunch of muppets! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More money, premier league football, champions league football, better chance of getting in the England team, he will be looking at players like Dele Alli who he's good mates with and thinking "that could be me". He would be crazy to not want to go really looking at it objectively. I hope to god he doesn't though. Edited July 29, 2018 by PieFacE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only "Jack wants to leave" quotes are from the biased London press and they've just made them up to appease their Spuds readers Take no notice of them, they know nothing. Jack's staying and that's that. They'll have to start a new rumour about a new player. Palace beware it's your turn now!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingsombrero Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 All things considered with our current situation would selling him with a season long loan back be the ideal outcome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Xela Posted July 29, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2018 I think there is a good chance he stays. There is no Euros/WC next summer so he can afford to give us another season at least without 'missing out' on potentially playing in major finals. He obviously loves the club and if he stays our chances of promotion are much higher. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 If Spurs actually needed him then I think a deal would be done, but they don't need him, he was just going to be a trophy for Levy who loves a bargain. They won't meet the valuation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Taking my claret and blue spectacles off surely if you were Grealish you would move to Spurs. It would be a move up at present plus his contract would probably be at least tripled. I know how much he is and is family is connected to the club but money usally does talk in the end. However I am hoping against hope that we can somehow keep him for another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fight Like Lions Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Spurs didn’t manage to lodge a bid when they thought they might get him for £15m so I don’t see why they’d now bid £30m+ Seems to me they were never that interested but thought it was a gamble worth taking if they could get him on the cheap. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took them numerous seasons of proving themselves just to get to 100k a week. Grealish is probably making decent pay here, and if he re-signs, I'd imagine he will be on 40k here. I highly doubt Levy would give Grealish more than 50k. Only moving factor for Grealish would be exposure and championship football, but even then, he is not a guaranteed starter, and I think at this point in Grealish's career, he needs to be playing each week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he loves Bruce, but playing under Pochettino would make him realise his potential a lot quicker imo. I also think he'd get a much better deal than £50k a week. Still, I hope he stays but I think his heart would be ruling his head if he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get him on the cheap, there is no commitment to him....If they pay the going rate or premium price....there is more chance he will be treated seriously. My hunch is he will stay where he is, because I don't think Spurs are sufficiently committed to him, hence the low balling....I could be wrong, but its my guess. Unless they come up with an attractive offer I would say he will stay with us....but trying to get a replacement, who can run with the ball, will be very expensive. I understand he wants to stay, but there is that much speculation its hard to tell.....I think he will be central to us having any chance of promotion.

How are we to give Jack a new contract if he stays? We are sailing dangerously close to breaking FFP, and if we don't sell him I can't see how we could afford to give him premier league wages for yet another season in the championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggy_333 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Does a transfer embargo effect outgoing transfers as well as incoming? I hope the only reason there hasn't been movement with Jack wasn't due to the supposed transfer embargo we were under? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
