Jack Grealish

[mccity]

100m isn't as crazy as it has been. It's just the market's risen and this is seen as a big deal but its just a (very admittedly big) number.

It's like 65m back in 2016. The fact there's a 9th digit shouldn't scare you.

 

[metalblue]

So what's the craic? Are we interested in him?

A couple of folk on here have suggested we might be. I’ve not seen anything concrete though.

The last thing on my mind is thinking about what the media ad other fans think of City. Blow them out of the water and do what they've accused us of all these years.

Exactly. We could sell all our star players and only field academy kids and the narrative would still be City are ruining football. So lets flex our muscles for once.

The lads over at Villa Talk aren't taking it very well lol.

3,000 of them will be there in person to watch Jack lift the Premier League in May. :')

Apples and oranges.

Arsenal are a club that are sinking and badly need to turn things around. They're desperate to improve their defence, which is very shaky. They've got a young manager at the moment who's at a crossroads in his tenure, so they either back him to swim or let him sink.

We're very stable at the moment, winning, and have a glut of attacking options in and around the positions Grealish can play - namely a budding superstar named P. Foden. I really don't think he's going to 'move the needle' much, given the level of first string talent we already have. 100m in this market, for that position, is the type of money that should you get you a player who comes right in and grabs everything by the balls, automatic starter, changes the whole dynamic. I just don't see it. He'll be lucky to start the big games tbh.

In any case, the reaction of fans on here is completely predictable when the club gets called out for this of thing, so whatever.

If you don’t rate Grealish fair enough but why do you feel the need to call the club out on what they believe is a signing worth paying for? The current management team have dropped few bollocks so if they and more importantly Pep think Grealish is the one then so be it. Current world finances have got nothing to do with it, only our bottom line is the one to be looking at.

Why can't we sugar-coat it, ever other **** does it with the red mardarse clubs?

Why are you trying to sugarcoat it lol. It is what it is, we have bought him for 100m, I personally don’t think he is a 100m player at least for now. And I am not going to pretend that it is a bargain or that the deal makes sense in my head.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Wait till he scores against the bellends

 

[I'm Blue]

He pauses so his mouth can catch up with his brain.Where did they find this ITK no nothing.
Maybe he is the sky source

Pause for effect, pause to look at the camera (smug face), twat!
Sky source is probably Twitter, Facebook and Bluemoon.

Belinda ?

Man, I had THE biggest crush on her when I was a kid!

Dont forget Rag cafe and rawk

I was originally like that. I have said before on here I don't think Kane is worth what Spuds are asking for but then you just have to take a step back and realise it doesn't matter. If the club want that player and if they are happy to pay that fee then so be it. Sit back, enjoy the ride and enjoy the meltdown of other fans crying about us "buying the league".

Look mate I’m normally on the joke thread making other blues laugh, when you express an opinion on these threads a lot get there knickers in a twist, it’s just an opinion if some don’t like it, read it and move on, everyone has differing views on Grealish, if getting him in wins us the Chumps league well it will have been worth it..

 

[better dead than red]

I think you’re alone now

Don't even get me started on my views on Tiffany, as a lad.

 

[Profaneomen]

Grealish for 100m is absolutely and utterly ridiculous - especially in this economic climate and transfer market.

When owners can pump up their own money while ffp is more relaxed, i dont give a damn :D best to enjoy the ride m8!

I don't think he's a 100m player either.
But could you show me where it says we've paid 100m for him, as in it's a done deal?

First of all wait until we don’t land a striker then moan. Don’t complain over things that haven’t happened yet. Weird.
Bernardo looks likely to leave and Aguero left. That’s two positions and we have two players coming in. The price is what it is, for a fantastic player, only second to KDB in chances created last year (he was 60 mil what 6 years ago? Inflation?) years left on his contract with the buyers not needing to sell. We want him and have cash, we have structured a deal to secure a player our manager (the best in the world) and our board (one of the best run clubs in the world) want.

It’s a lot of money, I think you underestimate him though. Only 2/3 players we have are automatic starters, whoever we sign we’d be in the same position where they’d get a lot of game time but maybe not every game. It’s why we are the only team to consistently battle it out in all 4 competitions without throwing any. I get why people question the money, even the player if they don’t fancy them but your club is following through with the transfer and try supporting them, not saying the typical media bollocks why we should care about the current climate. We are ploughing money into another premier league football club, they will then spread that money to other clubs. Try a positive spin that during shit times we are spreading the wealth which benefits a number of clubs.

Woah , has she had a sex change?

 

[balotellishaircut]

It means if your opinion differs to others on here, you get told to support someone else, get told you’re a crying or sometimes get abuse.
All for having an opinion.
I speak from experience : )

I’m the last person who is bothered about getting abuse, it’s water off a ducks back for me mate, what’s up saying we paid too much for Grealish ? nothing, it’s a forum after all.

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

Let’s just put a circle in the sand

 

[Big mals fedora]

We will find out who is right in the next accounts.. don’t trust any of the media reporting of the fee till our club say what it is..

If our accounts show we paid circa £75m, the media will still repeatedly say we paid £100m. Anyway, welcome to Manchester Jack (not itk!)
