Popular Post BOF Posted June 4 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted June 4 We got rid of Grealish and now look at us. Do I want to lose him? Absolutely not. Is he easier to replace than Martinez or Watkins? Yes. Easier than Grealish? Yes. If he's open to a move then he can have one. If we get representative money for him then, with Monchi's knowledge of the market, we will be in a much better place to do the business our Champions League campaign needs. Again, it's not ideal, but it's the lesser of several evils. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get a good fee for him then I’m happy. swap deal that includes one of their perennial cast offs, then I’m not so happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhioVilla Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 McKinnie +£30m would seem like a good value to me, but I'm super biased as an American. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 We are not letting our starter go without a replacement in a CL season. So if he goes, so be it. I hope he doesn't, but we will have a solid replacement incoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Don’t want Dougie to leave but rather see him turn out for a club in Europe rather than another Premier League team. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mckennie only has one year left on his contract and has been linked with moves away for around €15m, I’d say McKennie +£30m is massively undervalued.. I hope we get upwards of £60m for him at least 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustibrooks Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 His agent is Kia Joorabchian right? (Same one Coutinho has) I wonder if Douglas has some sort of release clause, just like Kia’s other client Zirkzee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 (edited) Juve is such a good brand, but they don't have the money for the transfer fee. Look at their last three years: 2021/2: €141m spent / €64m from sales 2022/3: €122m spent / €111m from sales 2023/4: €95m spent / €60m from sales Even with only 18 months left on his contract, you have to expect Dougie to cost over €50m. Don't think Juve have that sort of money for one player this season. Is this why McKennie has been linked in p/x?

Would be atrocious. I’m also American and McKennie is average at best. He’s not suited for the Prem (look at his time at Leeds). Are we literally comparing Luiz to McKennie? It’s night and day difference in levels — if we sell, get top money for him. We should be looking at 80m for the guy. If they don’t have the cash, then they can f*** off like many have mentioned. The only swap deal I’d entertain + cash would be their young promising CB Dean Huijsen. I trust Monchi and Don Unai though. But a big NO to McKennie 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I don't know if Dougie wants to leave, but I would be surprised on his timing, after securing Champions League football. on the other hand ,he has given us, good service, and may want a new challenge......can't fault him for that. I can see both sides of this....but the success of such a move, is who comes in, to replace him?....or do we feel, we already have that, and the funds will be deployed to a type of player, we haven't got, which would possibly strengthen us. Sometimes, we have to make one step back, to make two steps forward, as with Grealish. We just have to trust the guys, who are driving us forward.

vazquez Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Boring already, Luiz is going nowhere, especially not to Juventus. Old lady has no money for the fee or for the salary. Dendoncker, Carlos or Duran maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imavillan Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 whatever happens we have to trust Emery, Monchi and the process sure they won't get everything right but i'll keep my faith in that they know what they are doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That deal would see McKinnie valued at somewhere between £35-40m..... Super delusional sounds more appropriate. No offence. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
