Jack Grealish

[oakiecokie]

Grealish is a talented player but worth nowhere near 100m for me.
14 goals & 17 Assists in 100 prem appearances ffs.
Kev gets that in less than half the games.
We need a striker & a left back & we're done.
We have enough creativity in Midfield.
Only reason we need him is if we are selling one of Bernardo, Sterling, Mahrez or Gundo.
No way we're selling Kev or Foden.

How pissed are you ??? Selling KDB ?? Mods take this wum off !!!!

It’s rare we bid for a player until we know it’ll be accepted by club and player isn’t it? Kane aside.

i mean Kane wantes it so of course he would accept it. also, was the 100m bid for Kane ever confirmed? or are we just taking Romano's shit word for it?

Sniff, sniff

He's deleted this, wonder if he's already on BM

I dont care but to an extent it is our money as we pay for season tickets to partially fund the clubs budget

I agree Doris, the money in football is mental and probably right it goes to the players but I dont understand why your average fan has to fork out a fortune to watch.

I probably spend more of my disposable income watching City than anything else. It has got expensive.

ikr, Jack out here already deleting the anti city tweets. isnt that literally confirming the move? haha

 

[oakiecokie]

Always enjoy Sky Sport’s top reporting ‘much will depend on whether City will match Villa’s valuation of 100 million…’

this is in their article about the fact we’ve bid 100 million for him

The words “knobs & heads “ spring to mind

Errrrr he does not say that

 

[HaalandEffect]

How much money did come in from winning the league and CL final?

 

[mike1923]

Simon Stone generally only writes about City transfer stuff if it's nonsense gossip OR if it's extremely concrete and close to the end.


Interestingly, he writes that Villa and City have been in communication for a while, which is a little bit more than other journalists have said.

It’s hardly rocket science to figure out that if we’ve put a bid in we’ve probably spoken to Villa beforehand to test the water of how much it’s going to take

 

[oakiecokie]

Exciting times and a cracking signing if we get him.

But we still desperately need a striker.

OFFS do you not think that the hierarchy at City don’t know this ???!!!!!!

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Somebody send me a DM when the phoney war breaks out....you know the Villa offered to make him the highest paid player evvveeerrrrr......and city’s financial muscle is just too much.......and city ruining football because they can literally afford to buy god and his disciples to sit on the bench.....

 

[malg]

So, John Charles £50,000, Denis Law, £100,000. 1960’s.
First Million £ player 1980’s.

£100 million? 2021. City are rich. Fuck off everyone else.

I have done the hard yards, I had to piss against the Kippax wall so my time in the sunshine is all I care about.

57 next birthday, hope I live to see the first £200 million player in a City shirt.

That fucking banner will live forever.

Same age here. My memory of the Kippax is some kid lighting boxes of matches and lobbing them into the away fans. He was only a kid as well. Little fucker....


It would be fucking awesome to get Kane and Grealish. Not because they're great players, but for the absolute fucking media meltdown it would cause.

Could not score against Scotland though
Joke :)

 

[ShaunMCFC]

Give em a £200m note and tell em to keep the change. Got the rags spending dough every year on gash players and nobody bats an eyelid.

As if City having the financial clout to spend money on top players, through being a well run club, is something to be ashamed of.

Seriously I have heard figures claiming £225+ M

Sorry what was the tweet?

 

[Rammy Blue]

Sorry what was the tweet?

It was a pro scum tweet from 2012 just before they got beat by us 1-0 in the title decider.

 

[Ashleymcduff]

Not what I said. I said I don't think he makes our best 11 not he won't be a regular starter. For that price you need an instant improvement in the side, someone who is drastically better than our current options, a kdb or dias level of player who will never be out of the team when it matters. Grealish isn't that when we've got sterling and foden in the same position.

Go on then i'll indulge, who's he relegating to bench status? He plays on the left, Foden edged out sterling last season to make that position his own. This entire forum has spent the summer claiming foden is the best player in the England squad and berating southgate for not picking him. Has that changed now it looks like we might sign Grealish?

Lol

 

[mccity]

It’s hardly rocket science to figure out that if we’ve put a bid in we’ve probably spoken to Villa beforehand to test the water of how much it’s going to take

True, but not necessarily. Villa have bid on two players this summer (Smith Rowe and Ward-Prowse) without much discussion with their clubs.

And besides, given the possible existence of a release clause, there actually has been minimal discussion that Villa and City have been in communication for particularly long.

It might be an obvious element now, but this BBC article is the first major news outlet I've seen to actually say that the two clubs have been talking for a substantial amount of time.

Cool thanks
