You make some good points but I still don't see Grealish as necessary enough to justify the outlay. And I would still be concerned that he may not adapt quite as well as some may think.counter-attacking with half the field in front of him and a pace merchant to play in with 30 yards of space in front of him.
Actually having to create, dribble, score, win fouls, win possession, work hard and contribute in tight areas of the pitch and he falls well short.
The other problem is shifting Mahrez if this happens.

I think Grealish is more suited to us. However, Gundogan has that position nailed at present. We have other priorities this summer.You make some good points but I still don't see Grealish as necessary enough to justify the outlay.

Lol villa are also a counter attacking team so I don’t really get your pointI think Grealish is more suited to us. However, Gundogan has that position nailed at present. We have other priorities this summer.
I get the impression that Grealish could play anywhere in midfield or attack other than DM. He could be an alternate to Foden/Sterling on the wings or Gundogan/Bernardo in the middle. Sort of like Milner years ago but much better passing ability. Or like KDB today...but not as good unless he grows in the team.
Itd be perfect if Mahrez was going to Villa as part of a deal so its nice and simple.
At the end of the day though all we are doing is daydreaming. Our hopes or fears will make no difference either way....or will they.... >evil laugh< whahahaha whaha whahahahaha....

Gundy is playing his best football right now oddly but he will be another year older next year. I just don’t see how he can perform at this level again. I hope I’m wrong but we need a young & strong midfielder as I don’t want to rely on fern & gundyWould you mind sharing some future lottery numbers?

@tolmie's hairdoo Does he have a release clause in his new contract?
Either the club believes we can rely on Dinho for one more year, or we get back Douglas Luiz. Wouldn`t be too worried on that one. And in terms of central midfielders, we`ll have KDB, Bernardo, Gundogan, Foden and potentially Doyle and Palmer (maybe even McAtee).

I don't know mate. That's the rumour when be agreed to resign last summer. Reports of £80m - that would be a big discount for us to offset £20m on Luiz.

Am sure it’s 60m

Then £45m to us would be a no-brainer.Am sure it’s 60m
I know people don't want to contemplate it, but we must start looking for a KDB successor, who isn't getting any younger.
Nobody is in Kev's class, but Grealish would certainly be a smart buy, as City want to increase their homegrown core.

KDB with his skill he can play at top level till he is at least 34 probably depend on his body with injuries he has had.

I'm sure they already have a fair idea at the club, but not the time with so much to play for, etc.

Possibly, but his body does seem to be failing him a little more at present.
He's got a massive new four year deal coming down the pipe, so suspect you are right.
There was something about Grealish not having a release clause but a gentlemans agreement with the owner that he could leave only to a champions league club for a reasonable price.
Yep 60m and why he signed a new contract

He's doing the talks himself, so might be end of season now.
Will give him a whip hand.
