Nick Powell

Was excellent tonight, fingers crossed we can keep him fit. Also, I’ll have to eat my words on Massey. Him and James have hit the ground running and the way he took his goal was that of someone who’s growing in confidence week by week

News outlets today awash with stories that up to 6 championship clubs and Celtic scrapping over Powell before Fridays loan window shuts.They stating that Wigan will accept 5 million,he’ll go on loan and sign permanently in January. Surely our present/new owners or whover is making the decisions will not even contemplate this.This protracted takeover must be having an affect on this situation.Whoever running club needs to pin him down with a good contract then if the vultures still want him theyll have to stump up serious cash……5 mill ffs….Would love to know why the f*** this takeover is dragging!!

I suppose it all depends on the takeover.
If, like some say, the new investors are awash with cash, then I expect they will keep him and build around him as the money won’t matter too much.

On the other hand, if money is tight then I think they might cash in.

Either way, £5M is a ridiculously low amount to be even thinking about.

I suppose that it is possible that this figure is just a pie in the sky figure that was dreamt up by the press when Villa were hovering and not a figure that the Latics have had anything to do with.

If we were to sell him I reckon we should be looking at a figure in the region of £15M or more going by what some players are going for.

Do you think Blackburn would accept £5M for Bradley Dack??? I don’t, so why should we??

Presumably every week that goes by without Powell signing a new contract the less he’s worth as in 4 months he can sign for a new club for zero. Clubs will know that so why would they spend more than 5 million? Bradley Dack recently signed a new 3 year deal so he would be worth far more!

By all accounts there’s 4 – 5 clubs showing interest.If this is true then I very much doubt he will be here much longer.
I just hope we get some decent dollar for him

Lets wait till Friday if takeover is done and dusted and they want Nick to stay he will be playing on Saturday. If he leaves then we must play hard ball with whoever wants him. If there are many in for him then 5 mill will not be enough and we should hold out for the best deal maybe involving a player swap as well as cash. Screw the fookers for whatever we can get out of them.

Which Friday ? There’s 52 of them
