im not turning it into a your club is bigger than my club debate. I’m just stating facts that people outside of uk don’t know who villa are

You're not wrong but my experience of being outside the U.K. (for decades) has confirmed that by and large people are pig ignorant of anyone except Liverpool and United. That's just the way it is and it's also because it's pushed by local sports media. Especially true in non-English speaking countries.
 
Then I'm confused by his statement as KdB was most definitely NOT favoured to win it by the bookies.

From my quick look of bookie odds for the 20/21 season, there are multiple players ahead of KdB like Fernandes, Gundogan, Dias etc.

KdB was on there, but he was part of a title winning team and is widely considered the best player in the league (still had 6g and 12a in 2001 minutes, very good). So it can't be a shock that he had some odds in his favour.
He went from high odds to Favourite just a few days before

he went from like 30/1 to evens literally overnight
 
I reckon Grealish is probably bollocks deep in some high class brass right now in his penthouse suite in Vegas..
 
From Villas side they are adamant that Grealish is signing a new deal and will reject City.

Villa ain’t gonna serve him up on a silver platter now are they…. He’ll be depicted as Judas - who left for more money. It won’t be pleasant… but we will probably get him.
 
I would suggest that everyone ignores the transfer odds. They are tiny betting markets so it takes very little to move the odds. Don’t forget if ever the bookies get a sniff that anyone is piling on they shut the market down very quickly.
 
And have another player who gets booed up and down the country
I wonder what Burnley fans’ excuse for booing Raheem will be next season? They previously attempted to excuse their fairly transparent racism by saying it was ‘because he doesn’t play well for England’ but I guess that bullshit is off the table for the knuckle draggers now
