CircleSeven Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 2 minutes ago, frastheowl said: I'd surprised if Gregory leaves, but given we've signed Smith, and potentially look close to signing Wilks, from the club's perspective, at the right price, there might be a deal to be done. Given his form last season, you can see why he'd attract interest, and the opportunity to get around the £1m mark (which I think would be a fair price for a 33 year old), might be too much for Wednesday to turn down (and represent a affordable gamble for many Championship clubs). It presents an opportunity to reinvest in potentially a younger striker who could represent a sell on value later down the line. Like others have said, I'm not sure Gregory would be particularly keen on leaving...but everybody has their price. I can’t see it happening. We would need to be offered top dollar to sell and although Gregory was terrific it was only in League One. I think he’d be of interest to the type of Championship team who might expect to find themselves in a scrap to stay up. And those teams would struggle to spend £1mill or so on a player with no resale value. That said football is a crazy business and stranger things have happened….

I personally get the impression this is a player who wants a new deal. Wednesday hold the cards here. I wouldn’t be looking to extend the deal of a player his age any longer than it already is. Assess in 12 months or sell if silly money is offered. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think sell on clauses work like that it is usually x% of anything paid over and above what you paid. Putting in to practice, you are getting him cheaper than what we think he is worth and want a slice of the pie if you make money on him in the future.

Some, potentially this one, are a percentage on future sale. Liverpool put a lot of the latter in. We won’t know until it happens. If it’s 20% on a sale then great. If it’s 20% on profit then oh well. https://www.thisisanfield.com/2021/07/ings-ward-brewster-alberto-liverpool-transfer-contracts/amp/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick70 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Wonder if hull just twigged on we due a windfall from impending joao transfer ,and are trying to squeeze a bit more out of the deal? Good luck with that with dc stubbornness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOwl Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I could foresee someone paying around £750k for Gregory. That and the sell on clause for Joao would actually leave us with enough to get someone like Jack Rudoni in for instance.

yeadonowl Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Promotion is worth circa £6m and Gregory is going to be a key part of us achieving that Be very suprised if D.C. sells him after turning down a bid for Windass 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit cringe isn't it. Acting all Billy big b0llocks over a player they don't want and who a League One team is interested in. Not like we are talking about flipping Neymar here is it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0114 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Regarding Gregory The Star reported at the beginning of the month he was more likely to sign a new deal than leave following reported interest. I think someone wants a new deal and his agent has his ways, how many times was he linked with Wednesday in the past… I wouldn’t be looking to extend his deal up until he’s nearly 36 myself. Players can go downhill fast at that age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players can go downhill fast at that age. When you get to that age, I think you've pretty much got to prove yourself season after season. If Gregory starts this season in good form and is banging in goals, then slap a new deal in front of him. It's not in our interests imo to be tying ourselves down to multiple year deals for blokes in their mid 30s. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
