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

Instead of ‘ruining football’ we are funding almost the whole PL transfer ecosystem this summer

How is 60m breaking even?

My point is no one in Spain is paying the fee you mentioned and the club would be willing to take a fee that they paid for Bernardo(£43.5m)

Ill take the 40-50 million on this one though. If Atleti want him and pay up, sure, thats good for the budget. Foden has made Bernardo replaceable and thats hard to say considering how good Bernardo is. Both are the same player, similar style of play. Now that Grealish is coming in, on an already stacked roster, his game time will be designated to a crowded winger rotation where I just don't see where he gets into the team at the moment over the likes of Foden, Sterling and Mahrez. Torres is likely headed for a bigger role this year too. Not including Jesus and possible a striker, then add in Grealish...yea...writings on the wall for Bernardo.
 
If Pep, the Sheikh and the rest of the board think that Grealish is worth £100m then wow, we're in for a treat. They know what the club can afford and they know top class players. They must regard him as a "generational talent" and there's no way they'd be paying that if they didn't think he could become one of the best in the world. I also agree with @Metalartin that the club probably see him as having off-the-field appeal. Some of the fuss around him at the Euros was unlike anything we've seen since Beckham.

Wait till Pep gets hold of this lad.

Wait till England have a team with Pep-coached Foden, Grealish, Sterling, Stones, Walker and Kane. We'd have every chance of winning the world cup with superb players coached by the greatest coach of all time.

I never thought City would be buying the two best English players in the league in one transfer window. The quality in the squad is going to be insane (apart from at left back!).

I honestly think the Quad is something the club are going for this year again! BRING IT ON!!! COME ON CITY!!!

Setting himself up for managing England once he’s done with City.

We were never going to get him for £70m(would have been nice), £75 with rest coming in bonus incentives is much more palatable, lets hope that rumour is true.

For all the "he's overpriced just because he's English" talk though, people need to realise the commercial value a player like that brings. I saw someone likening him to Beckham in his star quality. I can actually see that too, it's more about the global attention he could receive, than it is about his talent(although that's there too and an important part of it). KDB is already world class, one of the best, if not the best in his position, universally admired but I have a feeling Grealish' commercial value potential is still higher.

The clamour for him at the Euros was already at ridiculous levels, with no CL games under his belt. I think he could improve as a player massively under Pep's tutelage. So we're getting more than just a good player, with lots of potential on the field with him. We are getting a player with big commercial value off the field too, which could potentially help the club massively financially, in the long run, if everything pans out well.

It's just unfortunate that the pundits and commentators, will change his name to £100m, the minute he signs for City(even if it's £75 plus add-ons). That's what people are really bothered about. The attempts to discredit anything City achieve before they do it, is already happening and will continue to happen, even if City don't buy Grealish or Kane though. If it was one of their darling clubs, the media would all be singing a different tune. They'd be saying it's proof of how good he is, how well he's done, how well the club did to land their target(showing how successful/big they are), all positive spin. When all we get is negative spin.

I really don't fancy hearing £130m(Kane) every week though. He's 28 and wants to leave and he's already given them many of his best years. Spurs are so Spursy with their outgoing transfers.

Good post.

I was well impressed with how mental the England fans in Wembley were for Grealish!
