[Albion] Deniz Undav **Gone To Stuttgart 09/08/24**

[Betfair Bozo]

How long do we have left on his contract?

There is almost zero chance of him signing a new one with us you'd imagine if we force him to stay against his will.

2 more years. There might be interest from elsewhere perhaps?

 

[seagull_special]

We are certainly playing hardball this Summer with regards to Gross and Undav. A long way to go in the window and no pressure to sell so they could still go. If they did stay they would in all likelihood sign improved contracts just to keep them sweet.

Rejecting this for Undav, but allegedly £12m for Gilmour is okay. Baffling to me

 

[Hugo Rune]

Rejecting £25m is a bold move for a player we didn't want last year and who doesn't want to be here. I guess we really don't need the money + Fabian really wants him

It would not surprise me if a Saudi team has had a sniff. They love to overpay. That would give us a baseline valuation.

Different approach to a player vociferous in wanting out and a player who doesn’t but could be surplus to requirements of the new manager?

Goals win matches, WBG whilst a useful squad player, and good player, does not have the same impact IMO.

Still think he’s worth £20m minimum though rising to £25m.

Goal scorers.... different ball game

Allegedly is key here. As @Super Steve Earle says here: https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/threads/chelsea-flops-23-24-edition.408688/#post-11226843, Barber has said don't ever believe quoted prices. We know that we've turned down an offer. We don't know at what price that position might change.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Best advice on this one is the boring line of just trust the club.

Even if a decision is surprising, they've got their reasons. And remember, we only ever know a small chunk of what is going on

Rejected 30 million euros apparently according to Naylor. For a 28 year old not wanting to play for the club, I would have thought that was easily enough, clearly not.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

That seems mad if true, when are we ever gonna get a better offer?

 

[Gabbiano]

Reading amongst online comments (I know) that Stuttgart fans think that since we triggered the buy back option, there is a clause that means we can only sell to them in this window.

We sold Trossard for less ,

Maybe our German manager wants to keep the Budesliga's 4th top goalscorer, who helped get Stuttgart into 2nd and was top of Stuttgart's assists

He had 1 year left only.

In reality, it might actually be more like €5m (over 10yrs) + a shed load of hyperbolic add ons for all we know?!

Exactly. We might have rejected this 30m fee based on its structure, but could very well accept if more was upfront.

IF the figure of the bid is as stated then I do find it baffling that we are holding out for more. Imo either, Fab wants him to stay, club know of another destination for him and squeeze a bit more cash OR there is a bigger issue with Ferguson than we are led to believe. Interesting times but as many have said b4 best we trust the club.

£25 million £££££££ for clarity.
