I feel like we have some very fickle fans. He's started the season poorly but this is the same guy that has scored 15-20 goals in his past two seasons.
He's been a bit of a prick in other places he's played but i've always felt he's done the best for us when he's played.
I think we've got our money's worth and if we were to get back half of what we paid for him, then I'd reluctantly let him go if that's what he wants.
Given his current form, if he's now got his eye on a big money move for himself then I don't think it's a good situation for anyone to keep him.
We're probably going to be around the mid-table for the next couple months anyway while Hughton sorts us out, so I think Taylor will be enough in the meantime.
All these Saudi, Qatari, Emirates clubs move in the same way in transfers. First they offer a ridiculous contract to the player and then they start the negotiations with his team, offering less than what the player is worth. If the player considers the money as the most important aspect for his career in the short term, he puts pressure on the club to accept the deal.
Grabban is almost 33; he still has two or three years of football ahead of him. If he thinks it's his last contract and he does not mind losing the chance of a promotion, he'll be keen on the move.
For the club, on the other hand, it makes absolutely no sense to accept the offer, unless it is a big money offer, which I doubt it is. Having only Taylor and someone unaccustomed to the Premier as strikers would be a bad call.
Lol, that isn't really writing him off though is it. It's pretty much a fact that recently he's not been scoring goals at all and has been playing poorly as well. With some strikers it's true that there is a lot more to them than goals (Crouch and Heskey were good examples) but not with Grabban really.
If he's injured, and been playing through it, and just needs a break to get it right and comes back firing again then that's fine. Or if he's not injured and just needs a break.
If he is having his head turned by a move and the club don't want to sell then that's different. Or if quite simply age has caught up with him and he has lost it.
We don't know. But his resale value is clearly going to be low. If he is declining or wants to leave...
He has been a goof player for us but we have to live in the present and see what he is offering us now.
Think you might be pissing into the wind there Alf mate. Players go there for the wages.
That particular bit isn't in our hands though, if he wants to go for a decent wedge of money a week, they can offer a quid and forest don't really have a choice in it.If he goes though, let's at least not short change ourselves.
1-2m? 3m?
The lad scored 20 goals in this league last season! If he goes, I'd be wanting 6m minimum. Yeah he's ageing, but he's going to a f***ing noddy league. He'll bag plenty there.
And according to this.....

...........they paid 35m Euros for Shoya Nakajima only a short while back, so they 'aint short of cank.
Grabban has done well for us, but I think his age has caught up with him.

To be fair lard, i think if you offered every player in the squad the sort of pay he'd be on there, they'd be interested in the move.He wants to go , So for me he can f*** off ,
I only want players that want to play for the team , Having a half arsed and pissed off Grabban is useless and like having another Clough on the wage bill.
Sell him no matter how short it leaves us as the damage would be worse keeping him .
