You’d think the news of today puts the break on any imminent signings
I wouldn't have thought so. I've also heard he's going to West Ham now.

It's not too different from the KLP situation though, everyone knew he wanted to go and wouldn't sign a new deal so that didn't help but we still got top dollar.
All you need is a couple of clubs interested and our 'need to sell' becomes irrelevant.
I really don't understand this undervaluing of Greaves. Then again, it's no doubt the same people that said we should've sold him to Boro as we'd never be offered more than £7m for him.

I think on pure merit it's hard to argue he's not worth a record fee for a centre back at this level. The one thing that I worry might prevent that is the state of the market. If PL clubs aren't spending big this summer, like they didn't in January, then we might lose out.
Where has all this "need to sell" come from?
Speculation?
What if the biscuit man's sponsor was worth 10 mill. Does that not help or is that not allowed to be counted?
West Ham who are rumoured favourites have money to spend. They spent over £120m this season and still had money left after the Rice and Scamacca sales. They're going to sell Paqueta to City for £80m this summer so will spend heavily again.
We've sold well under Acun so far. £15m for KLP, £2m for Sayyadmanesh, £1.5m Tetth. All probably above market value and you'd have to back him to do it again
We got £2m for Allayhar? I never saw a figure for him, assumed we basically just got him off the books.
He cost us £4.5m though didn’t he?
Baz seems pretty confident that Giles is happening.. in his words "The deal is agreed with Luton". Almost as if it was locked in all along.
Willock sounding very likely.
Prutts thinks Szmodics would be available for 5m. While I'd be staggered if that was the case, if it was possible that'd be a tidy bit of business.
There'll be a host of clubs in for Szmodics and I suspect his eyes will be on a lower half PL club
Szmodics at £5m would be a tremendous signing. I’ve been really impressed with him.Baz seems pretty confident that Giles is happening.. in his words "The deal is agreed with Luton". Almost as if it was locked in all along.

Sadly, that's what the ladies say about me now.Too old, too small.

Giles is a funny one really. He’s clearly very capable going forward. Maybe next season he can be deployed how Slater was at right back with Coyle playing more defensive, again though IMO it’s a large outlay on someone who’s been outperformed by an academy graduate since he joinedBaz seems pretty confident that Giles is happening.. in his words "The deal is agreed with Luton".
