Jack Grealish

[Centurions]

We’re paying about £30m too much for Grealish, it is utter madness, I hope we stay away from £150m Kane.

You think Grealish is only worth £40million?

Sky saying medical tomorrow

As tolmie predicted

Really? £75m plus add ons when Maguire is 80m and Ben White is 50m?
Now, I am not saying that transfer fees are not daft but we rarely have paid too much for players based on what their later value is. Regardless, we are a well run and growing club so we do not need to worry.

Agreed. We could do with someone ITK on here to confirm that it is actually £75m plus add ons to take the total to £100m, but if true, I think it represents good value in today's market.

Loads of accountants have suddenly popped up.

I really hoped this was all just noise and that it'd eventually blow over, tbh.

100m is simply insane for him, in this economic climate no less. The Rags with their horrendous transfer dealings, in their desperate position, with the pressure they have to bring in new players in order to win something, are able to get Sancho who's five years younger for 30m less.

We're being hoodwinked.

Hmmmm. The rags paid 73m for Sancho (though people I know at Dortmund are 100% certain it was more), and we got 9.7m as part of the deal. If (and it's a big if) we pay 100m upfront, we've essentially paid a little over 17m more for Grealish.

We'll see who ends up with the better deal.

Did well selling a grand piano on eBay though

True, but, the bloke who bought it had to pick the fooker up himself

You signed Sancho we signed Jack Grealish doesn’t quite fit in the tune :(

Grealish is miles ahead of Sancho.

Both are good players, but the reason Sancho cost £25m less is because he's not as good as Grealish is. He's done ok in a farmers league, but Grealish has dragged a very mediocre Aston Villa side up the PL for years.

Thought he had to pick the piano player up off his fucking arse

Could be wrong though
