It’s not really though, is it? That’s simply how you’ve chosen to view it.Not only was it a bit of an unnecessary signing, unless we can move someone on then it's also hindering us in our pursuit of a striker as now there's not enough space in the squad.
The other point of view is the fact Bernardo has wanted to leave for one, possibly two seasons. If he doesn’t leave this summer then it’ll be next. We as a club have identified Grealish as the legs in midfield who can bridge the gap between deep and further up the pitch with his drives.
Would he have been attainable next season? No.
Will Bernardo be with us after next summer? Probably not.
Therefore you move whilst you can. By the time Grealish leaves this club there’s going to be an abundance of posts we can sit back and laugh at on here.
As for Kane, money isn’t the problem. Even if we didn’t sign Grealish I doubt we’d have put £160m on the table because it doesn’t seem to match our own valuation.
