This is the target we obviously want.

I understand that. I just don't think he's worth the money being banded about?
We have bought some very good players the past few seasons and I just don't see him being worth 50% more than our transfer record. if we are going to splash that much money I would rather us spend it on a Striker. At least Kane has done it season in season out unlike Grealish.

Fans of other clubs don't think it looks like desperation, they're shitting themselves. They can recognize that City have built a squad where there are only about 10 players in the whole league who play elsewhere who noticeably and obviously improve us the second they sign. Of those, we are in for the 2 who could leave because they don't play for Chelsea, Liverpool or United.

Summed up nicely. The rivals are shitting themselves, hence why the FFP cries are louder. They know what adding such quality could mean for their prospects in the league. That alone is a very good idea of the players we are aiming for.

You seriously think that there are several players who are on capable of improving Manchester City's squad who are identifiable and on the market? It took years to replace KOmpany. It will probably take years to replace Kane. Players of the ability of Grealish are very rare indeed.

You don't just fire off £100m with a scattergun and see what you snag.

IF he does have that emotion, then maybe, just maybe we should stay well clear.

I watched us lose players in the past, Barnes, Owen and SWP, all seemed not to want to leave "their" club and to an extent their careers suffered.

If Grealish or for that matter Kane are not 100% committed, walk away and quickly.

100m transfers have huge pressures regardless for the player involved, they have to be totally committed.

Last year we had the same issue with Messi and hence why I was against the deal, Messi would not force the issue, why, because he loves his club, that is enough to put me off any player, however good.

THere is no suggestion that Grealish has got cold feet. We're just working towards a conclusion. At least I hope so!

There is only one price for Grealish and that is what someone is willing to pay, so you can put whatever figure you want for his signature, but the club have decided he is worth it. As for getting a striker, don't you believe we are in for one as well as Grealish?

I don’t do Twitter. Is it just that KDB has liked a JG tweet about liking Kyle Walker’s video? Does that mean something? Wouldn’t KDB employ someone to do that even if it did mean something?

Someone screenshotted Grealish liking a video of Walker with his Prem medals saying he's ready for the season. So naturally people think something's up. The screenshot was then liked by KDB (or his socials team), again creating speculation that something could be up.

Just usual twitter conspiracy if you wanna read into it to get excited.

Yes, but no where near Manchester, or not in the vicinity of a medical centre. Unless student nurse housing comes under that category!

Kante is incredible but if we're talking in an attacking sense it is a fair comment. City aside, I would struggle to name you 5 better midfielders than him. Might be close, but names I could think of are Tielemans, Maddison, Bruno (just from a numbers pov).. who else? Mount maybe? Even these are on par I'd say, not lesser players, but not better either.

Kid in tweeting something daft shocker. It was 9 years ago.

Not the point I was making, thought that much would be obvious.

I wasn't saying why did he tweet pro-Utd stuff - that's obvious, he's a fan of theirs. Or was back then.

I'm saying why delete them now? Stuff like that is picked up by fans and the media (somehow) so it's a strange thing to do right at this time given everything going on with the City bid.

He's not one day woke up (or his media team hasn't) and thought 'shit we've got to get rid of those Utd tweets from 9 years ago' - something will have prompted it.

Trying to bring some positivity to the otherwise flapping that was going on.

What makes you think he can repeat last season for the next five? Its a risk isn't it? And a big one at £100m.

City make transfer mistakes like every club and so does Pep.

The agency wouldn’t (shouldn’t) like something like that due to the connotations, so it’ll most likely be KDB. In most cases the player keeps access to their account but pies off the general posting / content creation and fan engagement to the agency.

Regardless, it likely means nothing. Just something else to cause knicker wetting in the Midlands.

I don’t think he was a United fan. I’d imagine it was more anti city considering he’s a villa lad and the hatred they had for us because of Barry still and Milner. I agree with deleting them though, no need. Doherty was an arsenal fan and when he joined spurs they actually done a funny welcome video of him reading his old tweets and deleting them.

Well we will see. Just strikes me as a big risk lumping that much on one player who hasn't done it season in season out and isn't much if any better than most of our midfield. I know we have a budget but clearly we don't have a bottomless pit of money like some seem to think on here.

But if he comes in then great, I will support him as always.
