I think we get £12m max for Longstaff.

 

 

 

With one year on his contract, I’d agree 12m is very much top end of his worth.

What about Ian Rush? Or if we can’t get him, Callum Wilson?

Very very popular rumour that Grealish is basically a functioning alcoholic. There’s cheaper, hungrier players out there with less baggage out there imo. Fantastic on his day but he’s a bit of a circus. 

Screams Spice Boy midfield with “Madders” at Spurs. Eyebrows and Pencil Neck.

I have reminded myself that this is an Eddie Howe managed team. Whoever we sign the following players will be in Howe’s preferred first XI next season with anyone else getting bedded in:

 

Tino

Hall or Trippier

Botman or Burn

Tonali

Joelinton

Bruno

Gordon

Isak

 

so that is eight first team places filled no matter what. Additionally it is going to take a bloody good player to replace the incumbents in the other three positions.

 

i suspect we will only sign 1 player for those three semi vacant positions. Maybe 2 if value can be found.

 

i therefore think we will mostly be looking at players that we believe can replicate the progress Tino has made over two seasons.

 

in which case need to consider any positions where the cover is not quite at the standard we need (striker and CM)

I know he gets a bit of a bad rap cause he comes across as a bit of a dope and the whole Almiron thing etc but Jack Grealish is a good guy. He helps out a lot with charity, fans who've met him often say how approachable and down to earth he is.

 

If money wasn't a factor, he'd be perfect for us, an exciting flair player, a big personality and a canny lad.

 

Unfortunately, money is a factor, so it's a non starter.

I agree with Grealish not being a bad lad, but we have 2 left wingers at least as good as him, if not better. 

[SUPERTOON]

Grealish isn't even that good imo.

He’s been Pep’d.

He's not got enough about him to be worth more than that. Howe has seen that now and phased him out. 10-12 million probably only for a promoted team as the other teams have better players.

I don't believe the Grealish rumours at all

 

But if we got him, surely it would be for the LCM spot? I'm sure Pep never plays him there
