Oh shit he's ancient...

Obviously not what I was inferring. 25-30 is footballing prime. He's hardly the 20 year old sensation many make him out to be.

I'm happy with transfer but I don't know why people feel the need to massage facts to fit their own perception.

A. you don't have to be 20 years old to be a sensation.
B. 25-30 is an arbitrary choice as "footballing prime" do you have studies to back that up? Not to mention your "prime changes per position and the fact even by your random selection, Grealish has still only just begun his prime. Most people in football would agree that most players peak around 28-32 (depending on position/younger if you rely on pace/older if you are a goalkeeper or CB).

Being 25 makes you a young footballer. I'm standing by this. He could be at the club for over 10 years should we sign him.
 
Maradona and Messi have more talent in one strand of hair than Grealish.

As said, Jack is a talented player and hopefully a great signing but a GOAT, your having a laugh.
I think you're right that his talent has not yet been recognised as a GOAT, but it's clearly a bit above Messi & Maradona.

Yeah, he's about to hit his prime and his existing contract covers the entirety of that prime, that's why he costs so much.

Another way of looking at it would be to think if he signs a four year contract what would represent a decent return: 2 leagues, an FA cup and 2 league cups? What would represent a great return: a CL, 3 leagues and a couple of FA cups?
