I don't think the thread has much to do with Getafe.

Strange how many in Spain are falling over themselves to ally themselves with him. Tebas the latest.

Hopefully that means a big bid is incoming. Current status seems to be Mason loves Spain, Spain loves Mason and we have FFP issues so selling to the highest bidder is a no brainer.
Yeah, great that he's making a lot of noise about Greenwood staying. Fingers crossed it's reflected in the interest that materialises and the price we get.
Unless we are selling him to Real/Barcelona/Atletico, which we probably aren’t, I would not be expecting a very substantial fee.
30m and a 20% of future sell on fee would be great
I reckon we’ll see him at the bolded, makes a lot of sense.
40m & a percentage of sell on.
Big Jim might be thinking that as Mason is being accepted in Spain that it might be feasible to bring him back to England.
It will all be sorted out by the end of the year anyway.

The La Liga president getting involved means either/both Barcelona or Madrid are interested. La Liga always does their bidding for them
Why would either Spanish giants need the president of La Liga to get involved over a simple transfer ?
Jude and Mason playing together...awkward
I would prefer to keep him and reintegrate him
Controversy. To show he’s welcome in Spain and accepted
I don't think we do have FFP issues anymore? At least not like last summer. But yes his sale will certainly help
Jude and Mason playing together...awkward
Apparently Jude was actually recommending a therapist.
Probably a slightly controversial thing to say: but I often get the sense morality when it comes to sexuality and relationships is .. looked upon a bit differently in southern Europe. Let's just say with more leniency.
Get the impression Sir Jim was well aware of some interest plus he’s aware that the club has 1+1 contract left from summer 2024. Huge negotiating tactic, Mason on low wages relatively, only the big three can afford the transfer fee, Real Madrid have no need as they have Vinicius, Rodrygo, Valverde, Arda Guler, Brahim Diaz, Rodyrgo, Joselu and soon Endrick and Mbappe, unless they are selling Rodrygo, Arda Guler and Diaz he ain’t going there and he’s not starting, Barcelona and Athletico he probably starts at both.
Barcelona are skint. Don't they have to sell to buy or do they actually have a smidgen of wiggle room?

Agent Greenwood goes to Madrid and unsettles Bellingham, then we swoop in and sign him. 5D chess from Arnold
I think I know what you mean. I've certainly been told by a few friends that did a year abroad in Italy, for example that Italian men tended to be more...forthright (aggressive was also a word they used) in their pursuit of women. Obviously that's a massive generalisation and clearly doesn't apply to all Italian men, but is to say I know where you're coming from.
He's not particularly only low wages (75k), but I guess he doesn't have much leverage if he wants to leave. I see Barcelona as his most likely destination with us buying someone off them. I still don't see where he fits in a Simeone side.
His 75k compared to Sancho 250-300k is extremely low, even DVB is on 120k per week ?
Don't want him at my club, highest bidder please and thank you.
They found another lever to pull.
Oh yeah in our structure, yeah, but say at Atletico that's a relatively big wage.
Certainly wouldn't surprise me. I have certainly enjoyed their pain over recent times. Lovely club. Couldn't have happened to nicer people.
Good point. We take FDJ and they get Greenwood.
Agreed.
Athletico have multiple players on over £125k per week, they’re a huge club with players all aid more than Mason Grenwood.
Jan Oblak is the best paid Goal keeper in the world

Most of these wages are not with image rights either and when Felix returns he’s on £260k per week as well!
Negligence? Huh?
I think many people just think that the club statement is PR doublespeak for "he wasn't convicted of the crime he was charged with".
If anyone is foolish enough to offer that we should take is ASAP before they change their mind.
I think he is coming back. Just an opinion and I might be wrong.
Cheeky bid with Real to swap Greenwood and Bellingham in the summer? They don't have to buy Mbappe anymore in that case.Jude and Mason playing together...awkward
No. Because there are 11 of their players are on above 100k pw. About Half of those 11 on 200k or above. They can afford his wages easily. Athletico Madrid could offer him 150k or 200k pw
What makes you think that?
Good to see us bringing people together, eh?
Seriously, get out of the club.

Im so excited for him to come back. So many people here are playing moral judges, but before being moral judges, one must first possess the ability to give people the benefit of the doubt. Especially when he hasn't been convicted of anything illegal. Luckily, you have no influence on the decision.
