On his way, ain't he....
Only if someone meets TB’s asking price, (and isn’t therefore too concerned about off-field matters) and he wants to go there.

Imagine how disappointing it would be for both Biss and ourselves if only one good team came in for him. I’d presume Newcastle are one of the teams, leaving Villa and hopefully one big club.

he's not interested in moving but if villa offer the right coin which i suggest should be 60 mill then i suppose he may be off ....hopefully he comes back from AFCON to a new 3 year contract and a massive up yours to all these "big clubs and sleeping giants"

Not sure that makes sense - he could easily have doubled his money on a new contract I’d imagine which would have started negotiations a year or so back, so if he doesn’t want ‘our offer’ then he probably is interested in moving isn’t he ?

There should be at least half a dozen clubs that would be interested in Biss for 50 mill, including Real Madrid and Barca, if they can find the money, so I would reckon Bloom's minimum price is 60 million, as you suggest.

I just don't see a move to Villa takes him forward at all. At least another 18 months of not playing CL football which is surely his aim, can't see Villa qualifying for Europe this season.
Would be better off signing a new contract with us with a release clause in regarding a CL club.

Why though? As a free agent he could get a very decent signing on fee from a CL club - rather than a PL 'rival' having to pay a wedge to another club

I get the impression that a lot of decent players remain hungry until they sign that top contract that sets them up for life. I think Biss will look to see his contract out if we don’t offer him silly money in the meantime. He can then command whatever he wants from elsewhere. If it happens we shouldn’t lose any sleep over it. S**t happens. The structure of the club seems so sound now that there will always be someone to replace him allowing the club to live within its margins and not end up with the sort of debt that many of the other, perhaps more successful, clubs have.
Gives us £50M in the bank - helps off set some of the huge losses + with part of this fee + saving of Biss's gives us another £15k a week to go into the Striker fund ?

Is he not? How do you know this? I may be missing something but didn't know that.

The ball is totally In Biss' court.
He could wait to see if we get into Europe next season, that may help him to make a decision to stay on with us until the end of his contract.
He could wait to see if a Champions League club come in for him now .
He could wait to see if a Champions League club come in for him at the end of the season.
He could see out his contract to get a signing on fee from a Champions League club then.
Totally down to him and the clubs that are interested.

He could sign a new contract. It didn't stop us selling White.

The January window is narrow and frenetic, and you can't really getting a bidding war going like you can in the longer summer window.
I think Sky have over-hyped January when - in reality - it is about loans in and out. What the Albion have done well in previous January windows is signing good young prospects.

This is obviously our preferred option, it can only strengthen our hand, but not his, he would be better off running his contract down.

Sorry wasn't clear, signing for Villa or running down his contract with us still leaves him 18 months away from CL football.
He would be better off staying with us till the summer and seeing if there are offers and then go or run down his contract.
I don't think a move to Villa achieves anything in terms of football other than money in his pocket.
Maybe his mercenary, sorry, 'agent' has said don't, it may put a too high a price on his head?

The situation with Biss and his contact is complicated.
Not necessarily in his interests to do that……will miss out on a big signing on fee if he elects to run his contract down.

Don't players tend to receive a percentage of the transfer fee, and a signing on bonus? So actually they can earn more money if they're sold?
