Jack Grealish

[Nails]

I'm not a gambling man so not in the market, but do you honestly think that we'll pay the asking price (circa £250m) for both players?

I wouldn't have a problem with either player, but -bearing in mind our transfer history since takeover - I'd be absolutely amazed (and rather disappointed) if we paid the asking price for either Kane or Grealish.

We don't even know what the asking price is for Grealish. If we get them both for around £200m that'd be grand. Outgoings will soak up a fair proportion of that.

Levy wants £150m for Kane. That leaves £50m for Grealish.... Not happening. Villa can reasonably expect to get £65m+ for him in today's market.

The original post suggested that the fees asked won't be met by City. I think he's right.

£150m for Kane is £70m too much imo, but I'd expect Levy to want a deal at £120m.

If we end up paying anywhere near £190m for the pair, they've had our pants down.

Villa in talks with Cantwell from Norwich now. Either the owners really are backing them or they know they have a big pot of money coming in. As mentioned before, Villa have the resources to go and get Cantwell, Buendia, Bailey and whoever else before they get the Grealish money which is ideal. Getting the money first like spuds did with Bale fucked them, every club then upped the prices and left them with shite.

If Villa sign them, Grealish might decide to hang around for another season to see how it goes

If we get them both it will be at a cost the club were comfortable with, nothing to do with having pants pulled down.

Well if he does then hes not the player for us. How much longer do you wait.

That doesn’t mean we’ll pay 150 - it’s an opening negotiating figure. 125 for Kane and 80-odd for Grealish will do nicely, if you factor in all the incoming dosh.

You think Kane is worth £80mil when Ben White is going for £50mil?

Well apparently grealish has a clause that is way lower than even £80m and city could potentially raise at least £150-200m in sales if Bernardo and gabby go with the fringe player sales we’ve already started doing?

The media tell you he wants £150m for Kane but the facts of their accounts, debt levels, government borrowing needing repaid ASAP beg to differ! If we want it I personally think £120-130 including add ons gets the deal done and city reward pep with exactly who he wants!
