I would rather have Richarlison. Can play anywhere across the forward line, he's faster and a far better finisher.
Grealish had a good game when Villa beat Liverpool, but apart from that, I don't ever remember him standing out against a top team. Everytime he's played against us, he's been anonymous.

I would rather have Chris Wood than both.

Your opening gambit is true, because there have been cases of players being pursued and purchased that haven't succeeded. But when you say you've watched Grealish 'again and again', it just seems fucking obvious that people who are paid shitloads to actually judge a player against criteria that we're probably not even aware of, and who have scrutinised his ability to a degree that is incomprehensible to you, are given the benefit of the doubt. Otherwise, what are we left with?

I'm not sure I follow the idea of blindly backing every transfer we become involved in though. People paid shitloads felt it was fine for Aguero to leave on a free transfer leaving us with only Jesus as a recognised striker with any kind of experience, they'll make wrong decisions along the way. I think it would be a dangerous game to stick by everything we do in the transfer game, and some decisions will naturally come as disappointments, isn't that just football?

So the Mail are saying we're making the first bid for Grealish for 75m. Forgive me if I'm way off the mark on this, but surely at the start of August we must be further down the line on this than the first transfer bid going in?

Most deals don’t work in such a way that clubs make speculative bids. There are many conversations BEFORE the bids go in. City and Villa will already know the price that this deal happens at. But now it’s just a little show for the Villa fans. They’ll reject 2 bids to be seen to be desperately trying to keep him. Then City bid the price that has already been privately agreed and he joins us.

If there is a release clause then surely we just pay it. If there isn't, then he stays at Villa because Villa would not have to sell him. So it will be down to the player and we'll know really soon. It could be complete nonsense but I think VIlla and the player would have rubbished it by now if there wasn't interest from City.

If things have got this far then we must have somewhere for Bernardo to go to? It was rumoured that city would allow someone to pay the fee over an extra couple of years to get the fee they wanted as it makes no difference in how it’s accounted?
