But it's he all that? And for someone with one year left anything over 40m is too much.

As I said previously although not to you, the one year left is a red herring. That only applies to someone that is either an integral part of the team, someone that's happy to run down their contract.

I don't understand. If you could get prime Salah, Haaland etc for 50m with 6 months left, you would go for it but for Curtis Jones I wouldn't go much higher even if he was contacted to 4 years.
And only having 1 year left even 40 is pushing it.
Notcher
Ian Bowyer
That's not a good comparison though because to sign those for £50M you have to pay £300k+ a week in wages.
Malwood
Jack Armstrong
Only one year left on his contract? Well that changes things. Obviously no-one's paying 40 m to buy out a single year, but I guess he'll get a bid from a more attractive proposition than us.

In today's market £40m isn't too much for someone of Jones' pedigree and potential in my opinion
Ian Storey Moore
First Team Squad
Too much, I'd still pay it, I like him, but I can't see anyway he's coming to us, he'll let his contract run down and bugger off to Italy.

There's often hidden sign on bonuses as well. Not cut and dry.

A lot is made of the remaining length of contract when assessing what constitutes fair value. But from the perspective of the buying club it makes not the blindest bit of difference does it, whether the player has 1 or 4 years remaining. Same player, same potential whichever way.

Man City would never have paid 116 if Anderson had one year left.
You can have 50m now or we'll get the player for free in a years time with a big signing on bonus and a higher salary to ensure he signs for us anyway.
Not a difficult concept to understand.

We spent almost 40 million on both Bakwa and f***ing N’Doye but a player with hundreds of games at Liverpool is overpriced apparently.
Your not getting many players with 200 games in the PL and Europe for much less than 40M

Did we pay £40m for Bakwa & Ndoye?

£35M for Ndoye and £30M for Bakwa

Ryan Yates has played the same number of games in the Premier league as Curtis Jones in the last 4 years.

I hope we can get him in. I think with a consistent run in a set position he will continue to get better. And he's already (at the very least) a top 8 midfielder.

I didn't think we'd paid £40m for each

And I know who'd I'd rather have in the trenches next to me and he aint Scouse

As much as we all love Yates, I don't see him being a 1st choice in our midfield in the PL. Jones is a better player & better fit alongside Sangare.

But if it was, we could use the scouser as canon fodder.

Don’t know how true it is but Turkish journalists reporting that forest are closing the deal for Curtis jones.

Wouldn't mind Jones tbh, I do wonder if Glasner coming in had influenced his decision a bit. We are far more desirable to join with him in charge.

If it's Enes he's not even a journalist. Any other sources?

Saw that Nico schira has reposted his tweet also. But again, not sure how reliable he is. Anyone can buy a blue tick and call themselves “in the know” nowadays.
