Dimmu Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Not getting playing time with us, 33 years and running out of contract. 4 millions sounds about right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derbyram1983 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 We reportedly payed around £3.5m for nick Blackman with his contract in the final 6 months. So I'd say £4m for grant is about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not in the clubs plans, he wasn't getting a game and most fans wanted rid anyway. Suddenly people are expecting millions for him? If Derby ask for more than 500k they're nuts and just a little bit cheeky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Derby ask for more than 500k they're nuts and just a little bit cheeky. You could argue 33 is a good age for a keeper, I get the impression they're desperate to buy, we're not so desperate to sell him. We may have signed him for free, but since then I think his stock has risen, especially this PL cameo he's been having. I think Stoke are trying to make DCFC look bad in the media to get a deal done, PL club trying to throw their weight about. Long gone are the days of the club being held to ransom. They need to buy a keeper more than we need to sell one. I personally think £2m is a fair enough asking price, hopefully we'll do business between £1m and £1.5m.

ramit Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Grant is an in form PL keeper, surely that's worth a million, if not at Stoke then somewhere else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still can't hurt to ask for a lot. Other clubs can see what he's doing so im sure we are shopping him although McClaren may have indicated he'd be happy to see him back. He will prob end up at stoke for 1.5-2m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admira Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Crazy money. If Stoke don't pay up, he comes back to us in a huff and unmotivated at the missed opportunity so is unlikely to play for us again anyway. What are we up to asking for that much?

If Derby ask for more than 500k they're nuts and just a little bit cheeky. We signed him when he was out of contract, wouldn't have been free otherwise. Supply and demand, we have a that we can sell keeper, they need to buy a keeper. Most fans wanted him gone? Did you conduct the survey? What was the percentage difference? We can ask what we like for him, his true value will be whatever fee is agreed. It isn't cheeky trying to get the most for a player on your books, just the same as offering a small amount to buy a player. At the end of the day the club is business and we need to maximise our income anyway possible and that includes player sales, we would be daft just to accept every offer that came our way, it isn't nuts or cheeky to do so.

Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Anything over £1.5M will be a fantastic bit of business. Good price for a player in last 6 months of contract. Good move for Granty. He would be second choice anyway and wont get a game so take the money but not the p1ss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Pep unhappy with Bravo and is looking for a goalkeeper who's great with his feet ? Mourinho wholly impressed - how about backup to de gea? And Liverpool need a good one ...

That's all true and strangely possible and keepers get very well paid to be 2nd and 3rd choices at prem clubs.Then again if Wigan needed a keeper and we sent them grant and he did well we would be trying to get £200,000 strange game football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Signed him for nothing, played more than his part in the last few years, no need to be greedy over the fee. £1m would be amazing business, and let Granty grab a fat retirement contract from them.

Woodley Ram Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 4 mil is far too much, I thought it would be about 500k, anything over 1m and thanks for your time Lee. Re the 4m that is a newspaper report so should be treated as such. Mark Hughes needs to be quiet and should stop trying to bully us. Transfers should be done in private. No idea if we are asking too much or not, but shouldn't be on sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Happens Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 4 million, according to reports...reports from who? one guy saying to another guy in the boozer while taking a leak? It wont be 4 million, wouldnt be surprised if derby are inflating the price a bit to try and get stoke up to 1 million or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
