Spence to stay, Jones to go?

[Hollywood]

One of the surprises to be announced tomorrow?

 

[Colin Warnek]

That's what I thought this morning. Just can't see Djed not being sold though, being linked with top 6 clubs.

 

[Priv]

No way is Djed staying, he didn’t want to come me back in Jan so no point in forcing him to stay now with 15-20mil bids incoming.

 

[TeaCider]

One of the surprises to be announced tomorrow?

Nope.

Wilder as much as admitted Spence is being sold in his post match.

 

[Jedi boro]

He mentioned in that interview well there’s one very obvious sale that you’ll know about.

That was def a reference to spence.

 

[Diego]

Definetly not, no.

 

[alanmoodysdog]

maybe both to go .... attitude above ability

 

[Sãu Paulo]

Hopefully Forest go up and drive the price up a bit more

How does that work? I hope you're right but the opposite might happen.

If they are willing to pay more than anyone else then we get a bigger transfer fee

I really can’t see Jones leaving, unless we get a silly offer. He’s played pretty much a full season and a full pre-season will do him the world of good.

 

[allied_assault]

Jones is obviously playing with an injury
He will be fine next season

 

[HundredRoom]

Spence is definitely gone. Who has the final say where he goes? Lets say Arsenal offer 20 mil but Bayern offer 25 but Spence doesn't want to go to Bayern , can we insist that he does.
At a lower level Morsy didn't want to leave but we sold even though under contract. Can clubs do this ?

 

[HolgateCorner]

Not sure why there is any focus at all on Jones, he is a young player who has been outstanding at times this season and won the Young Player and Players Player.

It can’t get much better than that can it?

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

Did you listen to his interview? He all but named Spence as the one who will go for big money.

That’s a very good point. If Forest go up and only want to pay £10m, and Spence wants to go to Forest, then there is nothing we can do about it, even if Arsenal offer £20m. Our only option is to tell him to play in our Reserves until the end of his contract. Players have all the power in situations like that.

 

[parmoboy]

It crossed my mind but think it's unlikely, especially when you remember that he declined to come back here in January. Think Wilder will want players here who he feels will be 100% fully committed.

There's plenty we can do about it, unless you think that London born Spence is so loyal to Nottingham Forest that he'd turn down a move to a bigger and better club in his hometown and stay on Teesside because of 9 months in the Midlands.

So actually nothing we can do about it then? If he refuses to sign for someone other than Forest?

A big if. More likely they will offer low and hope Spence forces the move.
