Jack Grealish

[richards30]

United don't want Sancho anymore.

They are convinced on Diallo.

They want a striker, right back, centre back and central midfielder if they can sell Pogba.

how will the rags finance all that though if they were briefing about not getting haaland and the drop in finances with rising debts?

 

[Dobsy]

There is some talk Grealish negotiated a £70m buy out clause when he renewed last summer.

If you factor in City giving up the Luiz option to buy at £25m this summer, it is not beyond the realms Grealish would cost quite a bit less.

I don't understand where there'd be room for him in the squad, particularly if we're holding out for Messi. I rate him very highly but not higher than what we have. Maybe Mahrez but he's on great form and surely doesn't want to go anywhere.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

We have the Douglas Luiz £25m clause this summer as additional leverage, which would bring his price down a bit.

All I know is Pep loves this kid to bits and sees him as the rotational alternative to Sterling and long term for De Bruyne.

City always have a lot of irons in the fire but Grealish talk has never really gone away.

I know Nedum Onuoha is also adamant this will happen.

Sadly, I am not hearing new encouragement on Messi, but that was always a stand alone.

Grealish and Haaland, added to new left back, teams might as well give us the points now.

Christ, he'll have a job getting games if he's the rotation option for a player who can't get on the pitch right now!

I'm assuming we have interested buyers for Douglas Luiz, to be able to hold it over Villa's head?

It makes you wonder who the Fern replacement would be.

Do you think we'll move out any of our other attacking midfielders?

I'm sure the plan was to move Mahrez on this summer but in this form it's unlikely.

Maybe a year on loan for Torres? It would be unusual but as he wasn't a huge investment, maybe there's less pressure to deliver in the short term?

They say Haaland is too expensive because they need to do so much business. I'm sure if they sell Lingard, Dalot, Jones, Pogba, that will give them a decent kitty.

They also have Mata out of contract and could even sell De Gea.

They have money - they just don't have fuck you money.

No idea mate.

I have a feeling we aren't going to get a LB.

The Portuguese press are talking a lot about Nuno Mendes being signed and arriving a year later, and I can definitely see that happening and the forum losing their minds.

I just don't see us shifting Mendy, and Pep was very positive about him last week, especially about his attitude around the squad. Can easily see him being kept behind Zinchenko and Cancelo.

Ha ha - 4 players from the Championship, then!

It would make sense to utilise Mendy for one more year while that kid develops in portugal again tbh
