Djed on his way back

Forest are getting 28000 crowds. I lived down there for for five years and it has a big population. Give us £5M for Spence plus sell on clauses or stuff them and we get him back.

They're averaging 26k for the season, decent crowds, I'd only sell to them if it wipes out their budget for the winter, spending to stand still, while giving us the money to improve, I'm not sure 5mill is enough, maybe 7 or 8. We also have to be reticent that selling him to them will free up a loan spot for them, so we really need to make sure we get top dollar or they might loan a prem player to fill the squad spot that is freed up
 
Jones has been in the EFL team of the week for the past 3 games at Right Wingback. That's getting in ahead of Spence.

I think that's another factor we have to consider. If we genuinely going to get Spence back then we are probably telling him he's not going to start. Especially as we don't play with wingers. So are we going to bomb out Jones? Nope.... Well I hope not.
 
The only option that makes no sense is to leave him on loan at a direct rival for a play off spot when he has been one of their best players. If he is adamant he wants out then we get the best price we can for him and if NF want to keep him they will have to get the cheque book out.
 
So it’s not ok to leave him there on loan but is ok to sell him to Forest - a promotion rival? I’m sorry this is illogical!
 
They aren’t the only options though! We can bring him back, alert lower positioned Prem clubs he is available ( although can’t play for anyone else this season)If he is such an asset there will be a bite from a bigger club than Forest who are willing to stump up more money potentially

From a sporting/points perspective maybe. Not a financial one. Regardless of any conversation around us or them going up, we would be £5 million or whatever better off and they would have less budget. We 'may' get a couple of signings over the line (possibly ones Forest would have wanted but now can't pursue) that Wilder desperately wants and we storm up the league leaving them in our wake.

Or Spence plays amazing for the rest of the season, he's their star player and they either pip us to the play-offs or even worse, knock us out. But still, unless they go on to win promotion we're still £5million better off.

I don't think anyone has suggested ruling out selling him elsewhere and plenty are in favour of bringing him back, even to fulfill a squad role. But as you say, he can only play for us or them, which will surely have a limiting effect on any suitors till the end of the season you would think?

At least we get money to reinvest, and they would have to be highest bidder to buy him. Better than having him be their star player while still on our books. Not really that illogical is it?

And that isn’t what I said…… No mention of the highest bidder

Someone posted detailed stats for Spence and Jones on twitter the other day. As a RB/RWB Jones is in the top 10% of all attacking attributes in the league, Djed is behind him in almost all those stats.

Defensively Jones is well below average and Spence is slightly better.
