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. Couldn’t agree more. Unfortunately you’re running year to year from about 32/33. Players don’t get fitter and better into their 30s so as much as I like Gregory I’d hold off and like you say if if he’s scoring and still being a key player post Christmas I’d then possibly look into extending until 2024.

Quite. You hear many players say in their 30s that it suddenly just goes and that they're done. Given our recent history, it would be very silly imo to be offering multiple year deals to the more senior players. Honestly, if someone in the Championship is willing to cough up to say a million (and he wants out), then you let him go. Good player, but we need to get used to the idea of wheeling and dealing, refreshing our squad. Does makes you wonder about the sort of markets, talent pools some Championship teams are operating in this season. I rate Gregory, but I'm not sure I'd be exactly thrilled if he was a top target and we were in the Champ. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You certainly wouldn’t want to be putting cash down on a player who turns 34 in just over a months time. Middlesbrough supporters response to being linked with Gregory wasn’t exactly excitement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beswetherick Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Gregory’s a steady player and did a decent job for us last season but any reasonable bid for a 34 year old striker has to be considered. This sounds a lot like his agent trying to get us to extend his contract to me though 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcityowlsfan Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 We've signed Bobby Dunn to the youth team. He featured on the brilliant documentary South of the River produced by Rio Ferdinand https://bt.com/sport/football/features/south-of-the-river-story-of-the-documentary… Has a wand of a left foot. Good luck Bobby. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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/ I bet Liverpool can’t wait for the 37p and one-fifth of a Kit Kat Chunky they’ll get when the Pigs sell Brewster 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I think one of the local journalist's reported a few weeks back that it was a straight 20% of the sale and not on the profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) Reportedly Wilks wants to come, now up to Hull. Their comments remind me a little of DC early doors when valuing players, a little naïve, but their prerogative as he is under contract. I think we all knew £200k was cheap, maybe a deal to be done somewhere between that and £400k. I would like us to move on to other options though if they are messing about. Ideally we'd want players in and to have a run out this weekend or vs Harrogate before we go to Portugal.

For first time in a few yrs we can dictate wot we pay? Wills is a good player and I’d like him here but you negotiate before shaking hands on a done deal ?
