Jack Grealish

[DMA's]

So today is the day according to reports he meets with the owners. Guess we will find out one way or the other today. Expect news of the bid being accepted or leaks grealish is staying by this evening

Maddison? perez took his place last season personally think Maddison is shite

Think he's decent imo, but got an attitude problem hence fell out with Rodgers towards end of season.

The day for meeting was yesterday allegedly, at the base he was spotted training.

Feel like Chicago is getting the dogs for a very unstupid opinion recently

your not allowed to have an opinion the fan boys disagree with, sad

 

[Blue Smarties]

Are we putting the blue cones out?

 

[Keeper!]

In all seriousness do you think we as a club are unsure if Jack Grealish wants to sign for us?

Bollocks, this deals negotiations started a long time ago, the season is a week away, we as a club know exactly what is going on, otherwise we would have moved on.

 

[Hart of the Matter]

No, he might fall over them...

I try to avoid having a strong view one way or the other on these things, it’ll invariably bite you on the arse.

Welcome to the debate Jamie Redknapp

 

[Blue Theatre]

Lots of Villa fans seem convinced that Grealish will stay out of loyalty & his love for Villa ... but it seems impossible that City would table a £100m bid if Grealish / his agent hadn't made it clear that he was very interested indeed in joining us.

That said, we've seen from past transfer sagas that players do sometimes have a last minute change of heart.

ohh those were the days

Anyone lurking in the bushes outside the medical centre to take illicit photos?

Haha!

Bloodied, but still holding my corner.

The good thing is most of these punters hit like girls!

Must be getting old, because while £100M is a nice round number for the papers, it sounds like about £30M too much, even for flavor of the month.
Yes, I’d expect him to cost more (English, young, broke into England team, erc..) but not be 50% more than our previous record, or a new British transfer record. I still remember the days of £1M Trevor Francis & £1.4M Steve Daley. Let’s hope he turns out more like the former than the latter, if he comes!

It’s not my money, but if it were it would not be getting spent at that level. Maybe there are homegrown or FFP factors we don’t fully know yet that make it feasible or reasonable, and I do think he is at least a 40% premium to Ben White (Arsenal paid top whack there!), but it seems like throwing money at a problem we don’t really have.

If Bernardo is being held until Grealish signs, and we are getting most of the money back, then maybe it’s not a ridiculous “trade,” but just smacks of desperation, tbh.

I’m trying to square it away in my head with the knowledge that slabhead cost £80m
