Interest in Grealish ahead of Jan

[Matt Diablo]

Grealish and cash for Bruno at Newcastle is ideal

That would be a terrible deal. He cost us 100m!

Grealish and cash for guimaraes

Almiron?

He was never worth £100m and is worth considerably less now. Just need to write it off as a bad debt also the longer he stays the less he’s worth

It's a straight swap for Bruno. Would add cash for Isaac or Gordon tbh

How about keeping Grealish but playing him in his rightful place centrally. We get the most out of a quality player whilst strengthening our team. Just a thought.

If that did happen indeed better than getting shot of a 100m player for a lot less. Key part is if Jack stays fit and takes his chances

If we sold him, how much do you think we would get?

I bet a we’d get a few contrasting amounts…

I can't see the RDAHMeedya putting the figure greater than £15m!!

Playing players in a position that may be best suited to them? Don't be silly.

Plenty others who should be moved on to get support in other areas of the pitch like fullbacks and actual goal scoring wingers. Grealish could do wonders in the midfield with Rodri and whoever we get to rotate with/supplement him.

The interest will amount to "we'll take him on loan with you covering all his wages if you want rid" they'll be no genuine interest in actually buying him just clubs looking to position themselves at the front of the queue for any freebies.

Perfect player to use in a cash plus swap deal

For us perhaps. For the other side it's the worst kind of player. A big name who has dropped off, no guarantee you'll get them back to a desired level, on huge wages that they won't be able to get close to matching and we'll be able to suggest his value is greater than reality because of the fee we paid.

Regardless of who the player is and how much a club may be interested, you stay away from those kind of players in any potential direct trade. you sell your in demand asset for maximum possible value first and then you look at haggling from a much stronger basis for the player that club potentially want to get rid of and price them down.
