Because I’m generally pretty miserable.
I’ve survived 3 suicide attempts and I’ve gotten engaged so things are looking up to be fair…
Sorry to here buddy, I don't know you, but I lost my 19 year old son to suicide December 2019, mental health is just not understood or taken seriously, everyday I get up and wish I didn't have to, if your ever feeling down to that point again feel free to PM on here.

Us men don't talk like we should andd hide our feelings and thoughts, after losing my son, I now share everything and not embarrassed to do so.

Stay strong buddy #familyislife
 
Apparently inside the club there’s little indication of a deal happening this week. Obviously could change like with all these things but for the moment all is quiet. Patience is a virtue we’ll all need for the next few weeks!
 
I was looking at Villa's transfer spending. They have a net spend £260m from the 2019/20 season whilst City have a net spend of £133m in that period. Source: transfermarkt (they haven't updated the Sancho fee yet).

No doubt I’ll be called spoilt or entitled but rather annoying this, not you thanks for the info. You just know it’s slow because of the euros, euros finishes then its wait until they’re back from holidays not its wait weeks. Season starts in 3 and it’s disappointing we are going into it without our business being done. I guess it proves these deals are far from done as others have suggested which again is a further worry what we do if it goes tits up.

My bet is we’ll get them both. And it’s worth remembering they’re not even back to train yet. So nothing is lost. I’m not worried !

To be fair even if he signed the week of the 2nd August the likelihood he’d even start the season is unlikely. Purely due to getting use to Peps methods etc I can’t recall too many players just slotting straight away since 2018. Players like Cancelo, Mahrez, Ake have all had to bide their time

At this moment nothing is lost, starting a season with a squad not as good as the previous year isn’t a good thing. We have a tough start and we can’t afford to chase the pack again and rely on breaking winning records and others to slip up to catch up. That’s my worry, not that I demand every deal to be done instantly, I just fear a slow start again, fingers crossed it’s the same for most after the euros etc.

I hope you’re right!

Indeed. Part of me think Kane would and could get thrown in earlier than normal but Grealish will IMO have an adaptation period.

He's due back at Villa August 2. I wouldn't expect anything to be sorted till a bit after that, but as you said, if it's close, never know.

We may also be trying to use the deals for our away kit launches, I personally don’t expect Kane to sign until after we play Spurs in our league game.

Agree with this mate. If Kane or both get done by the end of the window then we’ll all be happy but these two transfers although huge have been going on for weeks? Personal terms won’t have been a problem and kaldhoon certainly made it sound like he knew what we were going to do? We approached Spurs allegedly last summer and in January for Kane so you would have thought that we know exactly where we need to be and if we were going to do it or not?
 
I just don't see it in Grealish. A huge regression on Dave Silva at about 3-4 times the price, a big name and a lot of media attention but nowhere near as good.

Would much rather see us in for Insigne. 5 years older than Grealish, but the better player and less than one year left on his contract at Napoli. If the next youngish David Silva isn't available atm, Insigne would be a superb addition for the next 2-3 years.

Dealing with that Napoli owner is bad enough, never mind trying to take arguably their best player at his peak
 


Sammy is getting in. He has a habit of being safe and last.
Maybe this deal will actually happen.

I’ve learned when you read that it’s nearly done I add a week or two because city seem to always not rush it if they know it’s going to get done, also Kane and Grealish are still on holiday so no revealing!
