any one know how much we would be expecting for lee grant if we cashed in on him? read on txt that tottenham, portsmouth and bolton want to sign him. i hope we dont sell him but every player, especially with our financial situation has their price.

The man from the Co op says "£1.5m" - thanks very much, only £26.5m to go :thumbsup:

Id say about 6 - 9 mil

:hihi::loopy:

ATTENTION, ATTENTION - a village seems to be missing their idiot!!

I think about £3m would be a great piece of business for Wednesday doubt we will get that though prob between £1.5-£2m

I think about £3m would be a great piece of business for Wednesday doubt we will get that though prob between £1.5-£2m

£10m would be a brilliant piece of business for Wednesday but he isn't worth that so i reckon £1.5m tops.

If Paddy leaves we might even get him in as back up for Bennett.

:hihi::loopy:

ATTENTION, ATTENTION - a village seems to be missing their idiot!!

PMSL......:hihi::hihi::hihi: Funny as f*** mate...:thumbsup:

Id say he was worth 3 million plus, good English goalkeepers don't come cheap these days.

i was thinking around the 2-3 million mark, if fat kenny was to leave for more then 3 million then grant is worth the same if not more than him anyday

Its already been in a couple of papers that spurs are willing to pay Wednesday 2.5 million as a back up for Gomes, its if Grant wants to be sat on the bench week in week out with 20 grand in his sky rocket or play a couple more seasons with Wednesday on 5 grand, build his reputation up even more and sign for a Prem club as a number 1.

its a tough 1. i'm not sure if as many keepers have to end their careers early as outfield players do so the lure of 20k a week could be quite appealing. obviously never met the guy so i dont know but there are keepers(harper at newcastle) dont mind being backup

One of the reasons he left Derby is because he was fed up of sitting on the bench wasn't it?
If he's owt like Majid Bougherra we might aswell get our leaving cards in now lol.

i dont know his reason for leaving derby tbh, i did think they just released him because they didnt want him. only time will tell, it will be hard to replace him if he does decide he wants out. i cant see us getting in playoffs this season or the next though so if he thinks the same, that might swing it

i think he would fetch £2.5 to £3 million. would be a shame to see him sold .

:hihi::loopy:

ATTENTION, ATTENTION - a village seems to be missing their idiot!!

Have you ever thought about going back to live in Stocksbridge ? :hihi:

We aren't selling so there is no price.Grant is worth at least 10 points a season to us compared to a lesser keeper.That can be the differance between a playoff push and a relegation battle.
Let the Blunts keep selling there players if they want.Bigger clubs like us keep ours.

You haven't been a bigger club than United for years, You lot just dont get it do you :mad:
You are now a selling club and if the price is right for Grant he's gone and the same goes for any of your players that anyone wants to sign....SIMPLE AS

Correct me if I am wrong but isnt that his personal business and nothing to do with the footballing side of things ?

I could be way off but, thought thats what i heard when they were talking about it on the radio :help:

same can be said for Naughton

Yep as it says in the other thread, If someone comes in with 8 million hes as good as gone.
I can see Grant,Wood and Beevers leaving you lot for greener pastures.

Wether you and your little pink chums care to believe it you are a selling club
and everyone on your team has a price.
I can't believe how deluded some of the blue and white posters on here think you are still a big club and dont have to sell your players.
If you dont sell then you might not have a club to follow :o

i know we have to sell and i fully expect us to lose some ,if not all of the players you have mentioned.

no 1st july:thumbsup:

i would say 1.5million maximum but there is no way you should sell, that could send you down!

He's worth 5 or 6 million. We'd get about 2 million. I'd rather have him between the sticks than Kenny, Carson, Almunia, Gomes, Harper or Gordon.

For me, Given and Jaaskelinen are the best in the premiership.

BBAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA !!!!

Grant has never played in the PL and didn't cut it at Derby yet he's better than Carson (England International) and Almunia (won numerous honours with Arsenal). Gordon is pony so i might agree with you on that one.......but to even suggest he's better than Gomes, Kenny or Harper, give me a break.

Did they hand out free bottles of Whisky at the Pigs v Fulham match cos a few of you lot seem to have gone loopy, crazy at the moment - let me get this right, £5m or £6m for Lee Grant, never played in the PL and couldn't cut it at Derby Lee Grant.............do me a favour.

At present I think he's better than them. I liked Almunia and Carson but their confidence is rock bottom at the moment. That's not to say they won't get back to their best at some point in their career. I think with a good defence in front of him, Grant could do really well.

And I wish they were giving bottles of whiskey out, it was freezing. As it was I had to resort to a balti pie.

Do you a favour? Ok, I suppose that's fair seeing as Kenny did us such a big favour at Hillsborough when him and Morgan had a moment.

Nekro- do you honestly think he is worth 6 million pounds?

wow.

Nekro- do you honestly think he is worth 6 million pounds?

wow.

Personally no, but he's young and English. And good.

The same could be said for carson and green though, i think they are worth about 5-6mil to be honest.

even kenny who would make a very good no 2 at a premiership club is only worth 2-3million tops!!

I forgot about Green, he's a top class keeper.

It's difficult to put a price on goalkeepers. Even more so on a Wednesday goalkeeper. We're in debt and have to take the best offer.

It also depends who's buying. We might get £1.5 million from Wigan or someone.

Like someone else said on this thread, keeping Grant could save us 10 points this season. If you put that into a premier league context, the difference that a solid goalkeeper can make is very important.

Kenny is a decent keeper, but from what I've seen he's not as good as he was. Also, Kenny wants £26k a week, I don't think Grant would get half that, even at Premiership level. I think Grant is better value than Kenny, for sure.

It seems to a Wednesday fan Grant is worth about £5m, to the rest of football i think about £1.5m is a fair choice.

We all rate our own players highly but the reality is how much do others rate them at?

Its like with Naughton, he's getting a bit of hype in the papers but if you mentioned his name i suspect a lot of fans of PL teams won't have heard of him.

Yeah, of course. I think Grant's value to a Wednesday fan is close to £5 million. Not least because he's helped us do well this season so far.

Also, the likes of Naughton and Grant, we see them week in week out. We might be biased but we know a player when we see one, same as anyone else.

I haven't noticed any posts that emcompass the views of 'the rest of football' on this forum, that's unless you consider that SUFC supporters are representitive of 'the rest of football'. :confused:

Grant is a rare talent, to be fair he does get a fair bit of practice at our place, but having said that Gordon Banks got a fair bit of practice at Stoke. Of course any Premiership club will try to nick him, but who are the good young English alternatives for under £3million? It's all about contracts, if he's been contracted well then we can't be forced to sell him, unless of course, a silly offer comes in.

A rare talent, what on Gods Earth are you on about?

You're comparing Lee Grant to Gordon Banks - i've heard it all!!

Good young alternatives under 25yrs = Joe Lewis (Peterborugh and England International).

Its all about contracts is it, contract mean nothing, didn't Paul Warhurst sign a 4yr contract and leave for Blackburn a week later once? Contract mean NOTHING, they're just security for the player but mean nothing to the clubs. As for Wednesday not been forced to sell him, well not unless the Co op Bank (who you owe £27m) decide its not in their best interest and force you to sell. Wednesday are a selling club in the last 2 seasons you've sold Bougerra, Brunt and that lad whatever his name is to Stoke, of course you'll be forced to sell him if a decent offer comes in......the banks want as much money as possible in the current climate.

All in all Crooksey, you're post was the biggest load of drivel anyone could have posted, not one point was correct, thanks for trying though.

I think it's safe to say that the longer the player is contracted for, the higher the asking price will be.

Obviously so but if a player wants to leave it doesnt matter if he's under contract, he'll go whatever the club want.

How could anyone ever compete with you? the undisputed king of drivel? You always counter post against me because I once requested that one of your even more stupid, infantile and insulting posts be pulled. :loopy:

Please tell me where I compared Lee Grant to Gordon Banks, please tell me why Lee Grant is not a rare talent, please tell me how a contract can be broken if the holder of it refuses to negotiate (remember that the bank is looking favourably at current events in the SWFC boardroom), please tell me what Warhurst, Brunt, Bougerra and 'whatever his name is' (Whelan actually) have got to do with this thread. :confused:

Alternatives means, by definition, plural, you gave an alternative, that by definition is sigular, can't you think of anymore? :o

Oh yes, please also tell me why you consider yourself to be such an expert on anything related to Wednesday, perhaps you are a closet Owl waiting for your moment to come out. :hihi:

In all Stockers your post was consistant with you usual literary masterpieces, perhaps a sense of humour transplant would lessen the pain, until then I am sure that you will be thanked for not trying. ;)

When one decides to enter into a battle of wits it is advisable that one has sufficient ammunition to facilitate a fair contest. :)

Please tell me where I compared Lee Grant to Gordon Banks (in your thread "but having said that Gordon Banks got a fair bit of practice at Stoke" - a comparison my friend - 3,2,1 read and digest!!

please tell me why Lee Grant is not a rare talent (average Championship goalkeeper, they're ten to the dozen) - read and digest

please tell me how a contract can be broken if the holder of it refuses to negotiate - players go on strike all the time, where have you been? read and digest

(remember that the bank is looking favourably at current events in the SWFC boardroom) - what on earth are you on, how are the banks looking on the takeover fiasco favourably, come on Crooksey, tell me you're making this comedy Gold up for my amusement.

please tell me what Warhurst, Brunt, Bougerra and 'whatever his name is' (Whelan actually) have got to do with this thread. :confused: - this is in relation to Wednesday been a selling club, see the connection, you're hard work my friend, a teachers nightmare no doubt.

as for Warhurst, he was part of another point you managed to over look, what is a contract worth? Warhurst signed a 4yr contract with Wednesday and left a week later, read and digest before anymore of your off the cuff drivel, read and dihest Crookesey.

I feel one day i'll get through to you Crookesey but you're proving to be very hard work, at least some of your Wednesday chums take in whats been said, you just reply with the ramblings of a mad man.

Obviously so but if a player wants to leave it doesnt matter if he's under contract, he'll go whatever the club want.

is well known that clubs agree to let a player leave if he signs a new contract and stays for a few more months. that way the club get more for him.

But I don't constantly counterpost infantile insults do I? You will never get through to me as we are on completely different wave lengths, stop insulting people, try treating them with a modicom of respect and you might just make me change my mind, very doubtful though.

You must only partially read posts, put two and two together and more often than not come up with fourty seven, read then think, then read and think again.

You wouldn't call me a mad man to my face, I am certain, so why do it whilst hiding behind your monitor? You have so far (including posts long past) referred to me as being a drug taker, a drunkard and a mad man, are these the utterings of a rational human being or of a simple attention seeker?

Don't bother counterposting, even though I am sure that you have insults galore lurking in your portfolio, frankly Stockers I couldn't give a damn. However I will leave you with this, people who constantly think that they are correct on every issue eventually discover that they know very little about a lot, mainly because they never allow themselves to venture beyond their own ultra ego, recognise anyone there Stockers?

stop insulting people - who have i insulted, i'm trying to have a rational discussion, you're the one getting your knickers in a twist.

You still haven't answered what Lee Grants rare talent is :thumbsup:

so the utd posters quoting naughton at 8-15 million arent biased? grant is a very good young keeper, played a 1 and a half seasons football with us compared naughtons 20 games. ok, grant has never played in premiership but neither has naughton. i doubt we'd get 6 million for grant but every player has their price

play nicely girls:D

Read my post #42, the truth of the matter is Grant and Naughton are probably hardly heard of outside of Sheffield.

Fair enough Naughton has got a bit of press recently but your right, in reality whose going to pay £2m plus for Grant and whose going to pay £4m plus for Naughton?

We all rate our own players a bit more than they're probably worth, i imagine fans of Southampton, Norwich, Coventy etc have players they rate as the next big thing yet we see them as nothing more than and average Joe.

yes, i remembered that post. yes fans can be quite blinkered when it comes to their own players. the poster that said 5-6 mill for grant maybe was being a bit ambitious with that one but certainly no less than 2 mill i'd value grant at. if utd can get 8 mill for naughton i'd say we should try and get 3 at least for grant, if we did have to sell but i think laws would sell beevers or wood if he had to

£1.5 -2 million for grant
£2-2.5 for naughton
these are more realistic prices for the two lads.

i'd say that sounds about right, maybe 3-4 for naughton(outfield players seem to fetch more anyway). with naughton, maybe grant you could probably get an extra 3-4mill on top of that with add-ons , if they reached their full potential

We on about the same Lee Grant who let 4 in at Wolves, 6 at reading, 4 at Plymouth etc etc :hihi::hihi:

10 bob sounds about right ;)

yes cb, its down to the keeper how many goals we let in, if only we had a better keeper we wouldnt need the rest of the team:loopy:

I must admit i'm absolutely flabbergasted at suggestions Grant is worth anywhere in the region of £3m, having heard nothing of him really until last season when he had more than a few dodgy games, it sounds like he's hit a bit of form this season but without reading this thread i'd have thought half a million for him.

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt at £1.5m.

i must admit i'm flabergasted at suggestions naughton is worth anywhere in the region of 8 million when he i had only heard of him after playing the first of his 20 games this season:thumbsup:
i wouldnt say grant had many bad games last season, he let in alot mainly because the team in front of him were playing badly. he has had an excellent season so far so why shouldnt we want 2-3 million for him?i'd say 2 would be a good price though

yes cb, its down to the keeper how many goals we let in, if only we had a better keeper we wouldnt need the rest of the team:loopy:

Bloody 'ell David, it was a joke.

Hes not a bad keeper as it goes and if someone is offering 1 - 1 1/2 million hes a goner

i doubt they would sell him for that, maybe 2.5-3 they might have to.

only paper talk i know but read villa, newcastle, chelsea, man utd, man city, bolton. have been looking at naughton if some of these heavy weights enter a bidding war who knows what he'd go for especially with the silly money man city have.

as for grant... who's he.

so out of those, newcastle and bolton are out, i would of thought o'neill isnt 1 to get into a bidding war so they are probably out and chelsea no longer have abramovich to give them money so doubt chelsea will pay much. straight race between the mancs then if its true.
if paper talks anything to go by for grant, tottenham seems a likely destination if we had to sell

yer seem to know a lot about the ins and outs of every club davy lad. i forgot also read arsenal are also watching him. hope he goes nowhere because he's the best young prospect i have ever seen at the lane in nearly 40 years of regular attendance. 2 more years we could be talking 15 million. which would pull us even further away from you boys.

oh yea, forgot about that. so portsmouth could be in for grant and naughton

i read enough to know newcastle are skint, rest are just opinions but we're allowed them arent we?
if naughtons as good as you all say i cant see him being with you in 2 years

oh yea, forgot about that. so portsmouth could be in for grant and naughton

Naughton maybe

in paper it was saying tottenham, bolton and portsmouth are interested in grant.

in paper it was saying tottenham, bolton and portsmouth are interested in grant.


lets be realistic. any blade knows naughton could go for anything in the 8 million bracket all tho i for 1 would be gutted if we sold him for a new kop roof and 3,000 more seats. for grant around 1.5 and if the bank did'nt take it off you. you could upgrade the toilets on the away end. thought i was back in the 70's other month.

you seem to be in the know about wednesdays finances. i doubt laws would sell our best keeper for as little as that, maybe 2.5-3 he might consider. if laws was forced to sell i guess he would sell beevers or wood. naughton we'll have to see, if some clubs are mad enough to pay that for an unproven player then lucky you, if man city are interested then anythings possible.

you seem to be in the know about wednesdays finances.


what finances ?

:rolleyes: ok

:rolleyes: ok

quite like you davey lad in a patronising way. :thumbsup:

forgot to add, cant be bothered taking shots at each other/club:thumbsup:

ur alrite yourself, just dont agree with alot you say:thumbsup:

In 2 years time you could also be saying Kyle who.20 odd games is not a lot to rate him the best prospect in 40 years,although prospect does imply room for improvement.
I think the fact you've not had an accademy lad come through for a while is tainting your views on this lad.He didn't do too good a job against JJ at Hillsborough.

Going back to other replys.Us Wednesdayites don't put a price on our players the instant he shows any promise yet you Blunts start shouting out how much there worth after only a few games.It's something i've observed over a number of years.It may be due to the history of seeing players that United have.

i dont want to get into a slanging match over this but i i dont see why you utd fans rave about naughton who fair enough has played very well in his 20 games but then grant who is 1 of the best/better keepers in the league is only worth 1.5 or even just 500k according to 1 of you.if naughton is worth 8milion then grant should be 2million easily

He didn't do too good a job against JJ at Hillsborough.

hard to see what yer doing pal with a black eye and thick lip. jj's elbow played a blinder.

time will tell is true worth.

ur alrite yourself, just dont agree with alot you say:thumbsup:


are you my wife dave?

jj was playing well against him even before he caught him with the elbow. only time will tell how far he will get. he would be better off not leaving till end of next season really, give him a good 2 seasons in utds first team instead of in some other clubs reserve. same with grant, end of next season he should stay till, then maybe look at his options

na bb, i'm still married to my ex so i'd be breaking the law and batting for both sides if i was:thumbsup:
and you aint that lucky:confused:;):huh::suspect::P

take it you did'nt go to that one as well benny.

when did you last go to a match ?

Come on, onto the Blackstock Road thread plz, thats where its all at!!!

who's quoting grant at £3m? every body knows papers are always putting stories out especially this time of year possibly this possibly that, 99% made up dont always believe what the rags say

Going back to other replys.Us Wednesdayites don't put a price on our players the instant he shows any promise

He says on a thread called "how much is lee grant worth" :loopy:

stop insulting people - who have i insulted, i'm trying to have a rational discussion, you're the one getting your knickers in a twist.

You wouldn't call me a mad man to my face, I am certain, so why do it whilst hiding behind your monitor? Why wouldn't i call it you to your face?

You have so far (including posts long past) referred to me as being a drug taker, a drunkard and a mad man, are these the utterings of a rational human being or of a simple attention seeker? What are you on about, i think you're getting me mixed up with someone else or you're taking the SF far too seriously.

Don't bother counterposting, even though I am sure that you have insults galore lurking in your portfolio - I've not insulted you or anyone on here.

However I will leave you with this, people who constantly think that they are correct on every issue eventually discover that they know very little about a lot, mainly because they never allow themselves to venture beyond their own ultra ego, recognise anyone there Stockers? I'm not saying i'm correct on every issue, i'm trying to have a debate with you and you seem to have taken the matter to heart and got yourself into a bit of a state.

You still haven't answered what Lee Grants rare talent is :thumbsup:

what ??? cant hear you

where is all this about naughton been heard then? papers by any chance?
dont think any papers have said 3 million for grant, maybe 2 mill i read

Stop typing in bold, it means that you are shouting and I can hear you fine. ;)

No it doesn't. It's simply highlighting the relevant parts.
THIS IS SHOUTING !

OOPS ! Double post by mistake.

thought you had vanished old boy ? :rant:


no cant be all posting 1,000 post a month (and rising) been to work.

now answer the question.

when did you last go to a game?

£1.5 -2 million for grant
£2-2.5 for naughton
these are more realistic prices for the two lads.

how much for a ford escort

granty; priceless lad priceless.

Wether you and your little pink chums care to believe it you are a selling club
and everyone on your team has a price.
I can't believe how deluded some of the blue and white posters on here think you are still a big club and dont have to sell your players.
If you dont sell then you might not have a club to follow :o

Mmmmm.....Are my eyes and ears deceiving me or have you lot just sold your 'prize asset?' Beattie to Stoke...Oh dear! :hihi:

Rumour has it, but at least the banks won't swallow the fee paying off our £27m debt. We will at least have to option to buy someone else.

Anyway, do you have a point?

leave it mate wendy are moving forward they've got wilkinson. :hihi:

Bloody hell...the cavalry's arrived!!!! :hihi:

If i have to explain :loopy: i will.....CB was going on about us being a selling club (ok so far?) yet you lot have just sold Beattie (from a wednesday fans eyes, a very good player to have!) so therefore, you must be a selling club too! That's it! ok? ..... but to be fair to CB, in a post about BT going, he seemed pretty *****d off....or are you going to tell me "it's good business!" and it's no good sniping about our misfortune or lack of funds, blah blah blah....this is purely about BOTH clubs being selling clubs, we have become one and erm...you lot have ALWAYS been one!

Now then Billy, we WERE a selling club, if BT is sold i'm sure its for a very good reason, do you believe Blackwell will not bring a suitable replacement in?

Wednesday have to sell players to survive, we sell players out of choice.

I don't know what business you work in but if you haven't noticed we're in pretty dire times economically at the moment, we dont owe the banks money which puts us in a great position, you lot are in huge amounts of debt which needs to be managed. In the last season you've sold Bugerra, Brunt and the lad to Stoke to balance the books, no doubt Spurr (how come Gray has come in) or Beevers will go in January to balance the books for 2009.

Some very valid points there Stockers!
The economy as we all know is in a mess, i have 2 jobs, i am self employed by day and teach a kick boxing class 2 evenings a week...financially both incomes have, and still are suffering! But if i was a Blade, i would be furious if indeed you have sold Beattie, it doesn't matter how you try and sugarcoat it, but to sell your top scorer is a bit of a downer i'm sure you'll agree.

Thats a very brave statement- one that i certainly wouldn;t agree with at this minute in time!

The ONLY reason we would sell james beattie at this moment in time would be to get rid of his 30k a week wages (thats 1.5million we save per year), and with the parachute payments ending this year- i would say that it was done for survival.

i agree -after reading what McCabe said last week about the wage bill. its the only logical reason to sell your top scorer half way through the season .

Grant's had some praise from the England goalkeeping coach, who says he could go on to get in the full England squad.

WE should have sold him to Portsmouth for 15m at the time lol

lol- you would still be waiting for payment ;)

how much is he worth now- realistically- 1.5-2 mil, something like that.

2 million easy, but he belongs to us so probably about 800 grand lol :hihi:

of course- clubs will use the fact that your in debt to hammer down the price- i do it in business so why shouldn't they? :D

It always happens when we sell players unfortunately.

Yes but if they put in a derisory offer, we would still have to replace him, so most likely wouldn't accept it. I don't think that the debt has anything to do with it, we have him well contraced, that's all that matters.

how long is his contract? 3yrs?

Must admit he as improved since I called him average after the Dingle game,lets try again,Tudgay, Spurr, Beevers,Potter and O'Conner are all average:hihi:
