People on here saying its Roland of course he will sell him, he will pocket the money and other shit.
Remember if Roland does that he will have to knock money off from his asking price as he will have sold one of the assets if the club, that would basically be cutting his nose to spite his face and then if we dont get promoted his asking price will de value even more, so take £2M now and risk losing £6M/7M from asking price or dont take the £2M now and with promotion your asking price would go up in value.
We all know he only cares about the money so surely from his point of view to get more money Grant has to stay
None of that stopped him selling Konsa last year, which infuriated the Aussies by all accounts.
Should have bought the fckin club before he had the chance to be sold then.
Even if we werent in this situation I could just imagine Roland making a visit to Sparrows Lane and locking a few players in a room to hinder our promotion chances just to piss us all off
CAFC Facts & Stats (@CafcFacts) 23/01/2019, 09:21 #cafc striker Karlan Grant is attracting interest from Huddersfield, Middlesbrough and West Brom. The highly-rated 21-year-old is out of contract in the summer and could go for around £2m. #dailymail
I fully expect him to go. If someone offered to double your wages what would you do?
I think we could do a deal with Karlan, sign a new deal with a nice signing on fee.
Help us get promoted the sell him in the summer for 5/6M, also add a clause that if we dont get promoted he can go for £1.5m so he still gets his move in the summer
So he signs for Huddersfield and ends up in the Championship (which is nailed on for them) and where, with a huge slice of good fortune, he could be playing against us next season?

Or he either fires them to safety with his goals OR impresses so much that he moves on to another Premier League club in the summer when Huddersfield are relegated
The fact that he could be in the Championship with Huddersfield or Charlton could be a reason for him to reject them though and so wait for a better deal
Let’s have it right, Roland hasn’t done anything yet regarding Grant, and bowyer said he doesn’t expect anyone of significance to leave. Bowyer is not Robinson, his comments have substance, let’s see.

Stay and get triple in the summer when he's on a free.

Does anyone really believe that Karlan is going to “fire them to safety” (Hudds) or to be honest even get into the team. I think he has potential and I’m sure Hudds are thinking that too. At £1.5 - 2 million with their parachute payments its a decent punt given their Championship status next season. Match day squad and a glimpse of the bench is my guess for this season. He’s been chosen by the scouting team not the new first team coach who will never have heard of him or possibly even Charlton. That’s not to say it’s not decent business for Hudds.
Grant has done brilliantly this season. Don't forget back in the summer Igor and Taylor was going to be our first choice frontline up until Igor got injured.
Beginning to think a 6 month loan to Huddersfield with view to coming back in the summer could end up being an option as well.
More likely would be a sale to Huddersfield with a condition of the sale being a loan back to us until the end of the season...
Anythings possible but, for example if hes off to Huddersfield regardless. If we loan him to them and he does somehow miraculously help them avoid relegation his value would be x5 or x 10 for next season. If they do get relegated worst ways we would get him back next season and he would have been in the Prem with 4 months experience and with all the will in the world we could be in the same division as Huddersfield.
£2 million is bollocks in 2019 for a striker with 10 years still in him.

And that was to a French club, not a bloody team who are currently enjoying the fruits of the Premier League
better...worse#cafc fully aware of Huddersfield interest in signing Karlan Grant, but no deal in place. Grant training as normal this morning
Taylor out for 3-5 games and no Grant means we will be in third division again next season.
Fully expect Reeco to not be in for a straight swap for Lyle Saturday.

Huddersfield on the other hand need someone to try and keep them up; Karlan will be the cheap easy English option to attempt that
Problem is getting Igor back and fit again....

The same applies to football players.
