It just always amazes me when fans say “x amount or we walk away” as if x+1 makes any material difference to their lives.Is no one allowed to have an opinion without sarcasm?. Forums are all about opinions. I’m probably miles off the money, but it’s just an opinion.
I hope you understand that!
That’s a self defeating argument.Pogba and Grealish are incomparable. One has played for Juventus and France at the highest level from a young age whilst the other plays for Villa.
They might be but they'll still want money coming in.
How can anyone not agree with “There's a world of difference between realistically appraising your strengths and weaknesses and taking steps to address them to suggesting that this means you are "talking it down".I don’t agree with any of that. Sorry.
I would describe our current squad, and the football it's played this season, as 'Phenomenal."2 games"? May as well be a million miles away. It's a squad that is a long way away from "phenomenal" and just because the Chairman says so in his end of season corporate puff-piece doesn't make it so. There's a world of difference between realistically appraising your strengths and weaknesses and taking steps to address them to suggesting that this means you are "talking it down".

I would rather have Grealish over PogbaThat’s a self defeating argument.

So would I. But I would include "at times" before phenomenal. And, for some of the squad, their phenomenal days are often out-numbered by those that are bang average.
We have had a brilliant season. That is beyond question. But we can do even better I believe and saying so does not in any way denigrate previous achievements.
So to pad out your transfer window. Incoming Kane 150m. Grealish 80m Total incoming 230mA striker is obviously a priority(for pep as well? Erm..) but Jack would be a great buy if we moved on Sterling which is a bit of a problem so who knows. I would imagine the fee would be 90 to 100 million and a striker 100 plus.
I can see one or more of the following being sold. Jesus Laporte Silva Cancelo Sterling. Oddly enough Sterling being the most out of form would be most likely to stay.
No I’d keep Silva and lose Sterling which makes sense based on remaining contracts.So to pad out your transfer window. Incoming Kane 150m. Grealish 80m Total incoming 230m
Outgoings Laporte 50m Silva 60m Cancelo 40m
Retutning a balance of 80m spend leaving 120m to replace the 3 players sold.

Kev needs someone to clean his boots and fold his kits.
It’s all opinions Billy and just a bit of fun. To be fair you are probably right.There is absolutely no chance that those three players will be sold. The notion that it happens to finance Jack Grealish is even more fantastical. We're a serious football club.
EDIT:
Same with Sterling. These players would have to demand a transfer and bring a buyer to the table with real money. Impossible IMO.
We want to genuinely compete in all 4 competitions and not have to compromise just because someone is off-form or injured. The days of a 1st 11 should be consigned to history. We need to strengthen in order to do that.
How about some genuine debate
