Think he had already agreed a move in January anyway to Inter, might be wrong though.
Ahh ok that makes sense now. Yeah it turns out those performances were the outliers rather than the norm, but with the history with him, I understand why we persisted for a while with him. I agree that all the noise around him was the biggest problem for me in the end, and this drama and media fodder became part of the clubs perceived culture. As I’ve stated previously I believe this was the most important aspect of the club to address and Ten has done this with class in my opinion.
I’m of the mind, for all the director of football and transfers gurus that a manager has to have sizeable imput into transfers. Especially when you’ve shown you can build, or add to solid foundations.
Seems to be more organised and professional this year. We’ll see.
I'd imagine McT, Henderson and Greenwood.
At the same time we got a huge 375k per week contract off our books.
Some Atalanta accounts saying he’s going over on Tuesday
Yeah might be something in this,interested to see if the usual suspects pick it up
So a sweetener indeed, not a swap. I wonder whether they pay for loan / cover wages or not in this case
It would be a good deal for both clubs and players. If I remember correctly, Atalanta play nice football, so I'll definitely be curious to see show he adapts.
And this should give us a leg up on any Hojlund competition as well.

What figure do you reckon it would get this down to if you had to have a rough guess
50m pounds probably
So £45m plus addons
Surely, add-ons are always 5m
Surely, add-ons are always 5m
Yeah certainly seems to be that way
just swap them and its a win for all three parties.....we get rid of greenwood and get a player we want, atalanta get a better player and a bigger talent, greenwood gets to move away from england and gets to play.
I don't even think it's about money, it's about exclusivity to borrow a phrase.
If Atalanta agree to pay all his wages, that's already a decent chunk because I think he's on 80k which is 4m/year.
The decision should have been made long before now. He should be getting a full pre season. Either here or elsewhere.
That would make sense
This./
There’s really not much to internally investigate, they can’t cancel his contract - either he stays or is sold/loaned. Terrible from the club.
If he wasn't a great talent he would have been shown the door already.
Exactly.
This whole, let’s loan him so that he can face backlash with another fanbase is nonsense imo. If he were a lesser player he’d be gone.
I think the club's pov is "Let's loan him to see what level he's in currently".
On what grounds, it has been the club's choice not to play him, nothing has been proven, the charges were dropped, he is still in a relationship with the same girl, she is heavily pregnant, they are getting married and her dad came out and defended him.....
DO NOT get me wrong I am not defending Greenwood or advocating for him, or in any other way defending abusers, just asking you say "if he were a lesser player he'd be gone", legally on what grounds could you terminate his contract of employment?
I agree, what are the club hoping a loan does, sweeps everything under the carpet? Fickle bunch running the show.
Probably could quite easily argue bringing the company into disrepute.
Greenwood will score more for them than this £50m kid.
Doubt it civil prosecution requires less evidence but as Greenwood himself didn't post any of the material on the internet it would be difficult to say any action he took was at the level of disrepute, if it's wanted to get rid would probably need to pay out his contract.
Like I said I am talking what could be done, not my opinion on Greenwood or anything he may or may not have done.
Yes but he wasn't a lesser player, he was one of the most promising players in the world. It's not that strange that a big sporting insitution wouldn't release a valuable asset outright especially when all the charges have been dropped. It's a business, its pretty clear at this point the club doesn't care about ethics. That said I agree with your other post, they need to make a decision quickly. Hopefully this move helps us acquire Hojlund and everybody's happy again.
How did Nike do it then? Think it would be pretty easy to if they wanted to, they clearly don't want to though - hence the loan talk now.
That’s undesirable - Amad may play a lot for us next year as Antony substitute
Not convinced by him, but this doesn't make sense. Surely he needs to prove himself at the highest level (Premier League), and then we decide whether to cash in or keep. Proving yourself in the championship does nothing for him or the club.
I read somewhere it was due to a clause in his contract, but I'm not sure if that has ever been confirmed.
He'd go back to Sunderland if its a case of him moving back to the Championship. He loved it there, and Mowbray got so much out of him.
