The lad at Brighton (Murray?) prob fits the bill. But that would be one for the summer, when Brighton go up (and if we haven't).

B'ham Mail reckon Middlesbrough are eyeing a shock move for Jack.....could this be a lever to take Rhodes in p/x? How much would Jack be worth and would you sell him? I'd rather he stayed....

Selling Jack would be a massive error. Dividing fans and creating pressure on Bruce that he doesn't need.

He does that if he stays as well.

No chance, the Mail story is just a rehash of a rumour from elsewhere. Something along the lines of 'Middlesbrough might be considering thinking about a possible move for Grealish of somebody else leaves".

We will not want to sell him and I doubt the player would want to go there.

I agree with him. Just my opinion but I fear Grealish will be filed alongside Moore/Moore/Delfounso/Gardner, get some cash for him before everyone realises he's massively over hyped.

He would be crazy to go to them better to wait for the end of the season to see how well he can play with better players around him then one of the top teams may take him.

The difference between him and that lot is that he's actually technically proficient, and also he hasn't suffered two major injuries like Gardner did.

I agree with Tony this season apart from the game at Brighton when Jack came on as sub, I have not really seen anything that has made me go wow what a player

I was hoping that he would be a difference maker this season, I am yet to be convinced!

I think he will turn out a bit like Hendrie. He'll give us some great moments in 200 odd games and maybe pick up a cap but we will always think he could have been better.

Of course I hope he goes on to be the new Zidane, selling him to Real Madrid for 40m when he's 27.

Transfers in & out are all part of the clubs strategy to improve & get us back to the prem, some players are worth more than others also easier to move on, we possibly have a few players not wanted by the club but harder to shift look at Nzogbia situation. I for one am pleased with transfers done this window, also I believe the club know what they are doing so let's wait & see & hope the new players gel & we go on an unbeaten run till end of season

According to The Mail, we are battling Birmingham City to sign Max Gradel. Is it right to nearly piss your pants when you read stuff like that?

This sounds like one of those classic Small Heath PR stunts. Sign some player no one's heard of and create an imaginary link with Villa to make it look like they've beat the us to his signing. Que several thousand semi errections in the Bordesley Green area.
???? Had you heard of Birkir Bjarnason;  James Bree and Connor Hourihan  a month ago?
