Jack Grealish

Yeah, not sure how the numbers would work squad wise without any further outgoings tbh. Unless Gundogan reverted to a 6 again when Fernandinho goes, but that’d be a bit of a waste given how well he’s performed further forward this season.

And obviously the knock on effect to the academy,even if the talent is there.....a place in the squad might not be.

Its going to be a headache inducing summer for one or two!

Zin is getting a new deal pal, so only Mendy in firing line.

How would Mendy leave? He is in contract until 2023, two more seasons after this. I don't think anyone will be rushing to sign an injury prone left back. I think we're stuck with him.

Fuck Mendy off on loan somewhere with us paying his wages. We don’t need to replace him this summer, can cope with Zinchenko, Cancelo, Ake and Laporte imo.

We could always do a heavily subsidized loan if we really wanted to. Someone would take a punt on him without a big financial commitment.

Edit: haha what Rammy said ^^^^^

I agree to a certain degree, however I don’t think it’d be that difficult to ”move Mahrez on” after his return to form, and especially as he’s now 30 (I think). 2 years left on a deal, both PSG and Real have been mooted to be looking at him, which of course I know could be bullshit and spin by agents, but his resale value is plummeting and do we want to be giving him a fresh deal at his age? Consequently, with 2 years to go, if we got a bid of circa £40/50mil, which wouldn’t be too outlandish, then I could see us possibly letting him go. High wages wouldn’t be an issue to those 2 clubs mentioned.

Paris is Mahrez's home town so he'd be interested in going there if they came in for him.

Every single day of the week. Has the arrogance and touch on the pitch that only a fraction of players have. Him and Haaland would represent our best transfer window for years.

 

[WRicko]

Not sure how this would work Can only be to replace Mahrez but sell any big players will be hard and buying him will cost a fortune

Not ran expert on him or Villa but guess he can play anywhere along the front or deeper but he does not cut in the same way as Mahrez not a false 9 like he is or others players won’t replace Aguero

We have other priorities surely

Probably some italian club then with a loan to buy option haha. Watch him land at Roma or Inter or something.

You sound like a right goal hanger.

Well timed run more like

I’d rather get Grealish and keep Sterling tbh.

Even if Sterling demands crazy money? Hes already on £300k a week. Difficult to justify hes worth more than that. Certainly no other club would pay him more than that.

I doubt hes looking for nominal increase tbh. Players usually want proper increase unless they are in mid 30s.
