Pure speculation from a clickbait site. Jed has been touted around but with few takers. His agents are as bad as the club but it's always the poor contracted player that cries wolf, fuck him. If he was as good as he and his agents think he is he would have been snapped up ages ago. If he had his way he'd have gone with Saville to Boro two seasons back.Seems it's not him but the Club who are stalling.
Jed Wallace to Forest 'not progressing' amid fresh claims
The Reds have been eager to bring the Championship star to the City Ground, with his current deal at the Den set to expire this summerwww.nottinghampost.com
He's had a new improved one on offer since last April so the club have done there bit. Whether we should have sold him in that time or when was the right time to move him on since then is another debate.
It was a £5m loan.Personally, I think 'Wall should be careful of doing business with these Northern clubs. Look at the problem we had getting all the Saville money out of 'Boro. And, we still didn't get rid of him..! **
Yes he had a new contract offered to him, none of us know how much was offered in the new deal, did the club just pick their top money and say here it is take it or leave it (sound like that's what was done) and then with any agent who's negotiating a contract think they will come back with an improved offer, and it just didn't happen.
It was more than what he's on now, not bad for us or a player we gave a platform to after being dumped by a premier bound side.
Who knows, we got players like Jed to the club so someones doing something right. Not that it matters what was on offer, the player said he wants to play in the premier league so was never going to accept a new contract.
Yes I'm sure it was more then he is currently on, but, the negotiating tactics of our club are piss poor, any agent would expect to go back and forth with the club, we probably gave our top offer first and his agent is expecting to negotiate.
I agree with all you say. The player wants to better himself at a higher level and secure his families future
by earning alot more than what we and many clubs in our postion can offer him. So it was pointless in Wall offering more or trying to negotiate from bottom up and haggle with his agent cause he was never going to be happy, accept or stay.
What should have happened then? i have no idea what a clubs supposed to with a player that's under contract with a year left.
You're probably right not that i think he'd have signed it. It certainly would have benfitted us money wise if he was sold. He's been loyal and done more than his bit and like most players wants a new challenge elsewhere. I wonder what the truth is in regards to offers and what money we're supposed to have turned down. I don't believe we're asking for 8-9 million as reported online and in the red tops, realistically we'd be lucky to get a million if he can go for free in June.
