English contingent, Gundo/Kev/Mahrez not getting any younger, Raz/Mahrez needing new deals, possibility as said by many that someone may fancy a new challenge.
Lots of variables in play, and then it also comes down to do you rate the guy, and personally I think he’s awesome and would be devastating in our team.
Gundogan is 31 this year, KBD is 30 this year. Bernardo doesn't seem to have a position set in stone, he's been played as a false 9, a winger and an 8. Foden the same. Grealish will be able to compete with Gundogan and KDB and eventually take the mantle, seems like a no brainer to me
Agreed, can't see us keeping those players and adding Grealish to it, but if someone does leave, who will it be?The numbers are excellent for Villa. But they're not for me within the context of our squad. We've got four guys who would get those numbers playing for Villa at least. I don't see anything that would make him stand out beyond Foden, Bernardo, Mahrez, KDB, Gundo et al. And he has no unique attributes that make me think that he's a missing piece in the squad. Talented player for sure, and if he was going on a free or he had a contractual issue I would almost see why City would be all over it. But at 75 million with the players we already have, I can only see it if we think we're about to lose someone.

Sterling is not suited to the way we play anymore and Torres is far too raw. Grealish is a massive upgrade on them its as simple as that.
Jesus definitely and understandably, Laporte has to stay, Ake, Stones and Dias not enough.Jesus and Laporte are the only two I can see asking for moves.
