they prob make a stupid bid at the end of the transfer window like most clubs do. rather them make a bid now so least we can use the money IF Cardiff accepted the offer. cardiff could ask for stupid money now mind lol

Unless they offer the £90 million that promotion could be worth to us by hanging on to Jay I hope we say no.

Why?

Seems only been one bid. Sunderland thus know, if that bid was them, there's no competition, no incentive to pay big, especially for a player out of contract in summer.

Look at Pienaar - 2.5m to Spurs from everton. Rated around the 6-8mk mark normally.

No club will offer over the odds for Jay.

And by the looks of it so far, there's little interest to drive the price up.

If Jay was gunna go North he'd grave gone to Newcastle.

Besides Bents a bit of a Legend for them they'll want a marquee signing of sorts pavechenko or keane.

Not necessarily.

Depends what financial package Newcastle were looking to put together. Would he be firmly a backup to Carroll? Don't think they'd work as a partnership myself.

Lots of things to consider in deals.

He'd grave

Oh dear iPhone typing is awful

Yeah you're right we can't rule anything out but I've Bren about 90% sure Jays staying before Jan and I'm still there now. Player has made statements as has DJ and I see JET playing on the wing more than up front. Just a CDM and a CB now DJ.

Maybe, maybe not.

Player statements, manager statements should always be taken at face value.

In one of the papers said they were talking about the 3mil for Jay

Paper talk.

3m I'd bite their hand off. Every day closer to end of transfer window his value depreciates pretty heavily.

would be a strange replacement if they just had that much money from villa

Depends if they felt Jay could do a job as a cheaper option than others, use rest of money elsewhere.
