smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Maybe we are doing our version of Waggate. Leak a few names to the press and see how many times Bruce tries to buy them. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
GrimsbyBoro 1,958 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Gregory was linked last summer as well. Can’t make my mind up whether that means we are or aren’t interested in him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Riverside94 952 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 To be honest when Wilder mentioned a surprise, I did wonder if it might have been selling Jones that would be the shock. I know he has potential but feel like really he had a good 2/3 of a season and went off the boil towards the end. Purely speculating but Wilder also mentioned attitude over ability. Maybe his attitude isn’t right or he started to believe his own hype and performances suffered. Again purely speculation. But nothing to suggest that Jones will be as good next season or if he has just burst onto the scene. We did say we would plan to pick up gems and sell them on for large profit. Maybe Jones fits that category and if a good offer comes in we sell and go again? 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

We ain't going to get close to £10m for McNair let alone north of £10m. We'd probably be looking at £6m-£7m tops and even that's being ambitious as it would have to come from a Prem team or one of the recently relegated teams with the parachute payments available to them. It's a shame that both McNair and Dijksteel are fighting for the same spot. 10 millions isnt a massive amount for a championship player these days, especially if a prem club interested in them. And remember, saville is a 7 million player and assombalonga was 15 million so what does that make mcnair worth haha? But i agree, 10 million would be great, realisitically id expect around 7/8 if were lucky. but there would be much point in selling for less so thats why i said 10 million.

nunthorpered 1,920 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Lee Gregory is a good player. We are going to need more than one striker so if he's cheap enough id welcome him Link to post Share on other sites

I think the problem with Fry that to step up to Prem you need at least 1 of great strength, pace or reading and I just think he is OK at all. Link to post Share on other sites

However, Gregory would arguably be a better standard back up than Watmore and Coburn. Link to post Share on other sites
ManBearPig 1,833 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I’d rather invest more into Coburn that signing a journeyman like Gregory. Jones I’d begrudgingly let go for 12m+. Spence likewise for 15m+. 27m to roughly reinvest with lots of free agents and lower league gems could be our way forward… This is our recruitment model now. Again it’s down to the recruitment team to be looking at players to come in and do a similar job to those leaving. This summer will be huge for us and them. They’ve had literally a whole year to plan and prepare for this very summer. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
