Freo trade half their midfield to get Hogan then have nobody to kick the ball to him meaning he would need to play midfield.....right. I think Freo need to get over their obsession with OUR player and worry about building a half reasonable football team.
I got right to end before my credit card payment timed out, no tickets or charge on my card...yet why do I get the feeling it will reject me for "barcode already used" tomorrow at 1pm...
But if he doesn't want to go then what? He may see himself as a true Demon.
This isn't a Jack Watts situation where an underperformer has been given many years to rectify his issues and couldn't or wouldn't meet the required standard. We can't just treat our players as trading pieces to be shuffled around without taking into account the impact on team morale (and as you said dynamics). How can the club demand loyalty and keep a strong list together in an environment where they'd need to accept less money if we turned around and did that?
Trading Jesse who is a loved and respected figure at the club would have much bigger ramifications than just player in/player out.
Football isn't the same as a straight business where the prime objective is to make as much money as possible - its a lot more emotional than that!
Unless he requests a trade, I can't see it happening...Goodwin hasn't built the foundations of the club on strong relationships only to offload one of our most promising young stars when he's just about to peak
