Jack Grealish

As has been said before here, we kickstarted this and a healthy transfer market is good for everyone. It takes one big deal to a big club and that money finds its way out amongst the clubs and beyond. No bad thing

Quantitative easing. Someone needs to lubricate the market.

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 we land Grealish but don't land a quality striker, supporters will be pissed.

Whilst I'm moderately happy with the Grealish signing, it's fair to say if we don't get Kane (we've all been led to believe it is Kane or nothing) it will be a disappointing window.

Get both and great window, we dont need Grealish but we do need a number 9

That small club with no history have done it again with their Arab money. Drink it in

Should be .. but I think the club would be willing to break even on him imo.

How is 60m breaking even?

Who is this for research purposes?

Wonder what Trevor Francis would go for in this market? Seriously scary how we have come from 1 -100 m transfer fees in what is still recent memory for some.

42 years ago is a recent memory?

Nothing wrong with that all.
I’m torn on Grealish.
First there’s the hair - not a deal breaker and just me being a twat
Then there’s his little shin pads - thought it was me being a twat again till I read that he’s always got shin injuries, so he’s a twat.
He’s a very good player, but fuck me he’s a diving mard arse play acting fanny.
Add to that I’m not sure we need him, though if Bernardo leaves then I can see why.
I do think he’d be a good fit though.
As for the price I’d have said £70-80m was about right, but what do I know.
I get this deal, but don’t get the Kane deal.
All of course in my humble opinion ; )

After all that you pull this line? Eh?

He did say for some. He remembers football when it was all fields
