Bit of pedantry really, but Villa and Derby can sign players now, but can not play them in the PO final. Technically I am pretty sure they can actually sell somebody today, and actually can play them. All new registrations take affect July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay's agent also realises it and has probably had a word saying something like you've got a move to City in the bag, why not wait a few weeks and see if someone bigger wants you, if no one looks like making the move before pre-season training starts then make the move. Maybe the lad doesn't want to come now and City is seeking an arrangement to invoke the agreement (are we certain it exists and is binding?) and then "flip" Jay to a club he wants to play for at a profit. If he doesn't want to play for us it would be crass to force it unless both parties end up getting what they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogkev Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 I'd be worried about Jay signing if it isn't done in May. I wouldn't be surprised if he does sign for a different club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We merely had an agreement with Chelsea that we could have an offer of £2m accepted if we activated the clause. Nothing forces Jay to join us, we still have to agree terms with him and he can choose not to join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 If I was him I would be pondering Wolves- as competition at minimum for Jonny. If I was Wolves I would be thinking about him too as Wing backs an area they need more depth in. Or Sheffield United with their back 3 system, him as a wing back could be quite good IMO. I hope not though, but I have a bad feeling we won't be signing him this summer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves , I doubt he would play that much, so that would probably be a negative to him. Sheff U is in the North and he's a Southerner , not much I know . This summer could be massive. A good one sees us keep Kalas and DaSiva and add some quality. A bad one could see us lose most of our defence and having to rebuild a team almost from scratch.

Chappers Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Quite sure that there are plans, if JDS and TK aren’t signed, we will have other targets or plans. Still a long time until the season starts, and there may well be better options out there. Who knows, there might even be an obscure Finnish striker somewhere in Germany available on a free....

Davefevs Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 2 hours ago, JonDolman said: You'd think this would be a sensible place for Jay to come. Bound to be first choice all season. We play a game that suits his style, playing it out from the back, attacking full backs which suits his game. He knows the club, and has improved loads since being here. He was nowhere near the levels he ended up at when he first came here. And even after just one good season we wouldn't force him to stay if a prem club came in, as long as they offer the right amount. If he went to a prem club now then I'm not sure he gets in. He would certainly struggle defensively imo. I actually think Kelly would be a better prem left back at the moment. So I think there are only very few championship sides that might beat us to him. One of those is Villa who really need a left back. However are Villa as willing as us to sell him on to the prem in a year or two? Probably not so easy for him to get his move when he's ready if he's with them. Look at Grealish, he is still stuck there. What’s wrong with Welsh international Neil Taylor?

Said same obscure striker, had played for Schalke, Sevilla and Celtic. While not stellar it wasn't quite so obscure as people say- still excellent signing and scouting however! 14 hours ago, WAHGS. said: Jay was great at Bramall lane as well would be one good signing for them That's a decent shout. They are looking for younger, more talented players and yet those with a point to prove- and they play with Wing backs don't they. A role I believe Da Silva would be comfortable in- question is, if PL too soon for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, Wolves probably pretty strong competition. It'll be a big summer for sure- I have the feeling it could be quite a tough one but it's only 22nd May- with the interest the 2 aforementioned Chelsea loanees will attract will attract, the sale of Kelly, the injury prone Baker still on the books, Watkins needing to be shifted, O'Dowda needing to be sold there's a lot to do.

Not so sure common sense of him maturing here is applicable weighed against playing in the top division - let alone the consideration of money. When 'oppertunity knocks it's no good being shy..... Reckon Wolves would be a great fit for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
