Jack Grealish

Hope we can sign Grealish sooner rather than later. He will be Gazza-esque this summer for England and double his fee otherwise.

Plenty of blues doubting this signing will see why he is so special if Gareth makes the right call and both starts and builds the team around him.

That would require Southgate to not pick a Rice-Henderson-Lingard midfield though, and I have no confidence in that happening
 
I doubt that Grealish signed a contract at Villa last season that didn't have some kind of exit clause or criteria built into it. Why would he do that? Why would his agent let him do that?

There's an offer that gets Grealish this summer. Whether we or anyone else make that offer is the question
 
"...as it stands."

I can't see us bidding any more than 70m for him. If we're in for him of course.

Go for the 2nd or 3rd player on the list. Has done us well recently.
They don‘t need to sell and, as a club with aspirations, I’m sure they’d rather not. Grealish is their talisman and hasn’t signalled he’s desperate to leave. Therefore it’s not a buyer‘s market.

So, regardless of how anyone on here values him, I doubt they’d accept £70m. We can‘t pluck prized assets off other clubs willy-nilly.

Does he not have a clause for a CL team enquiring?

If he doesn't leave he ends up 28/29 having won nothing and people saying what if. Now is the prime time for him to leave, Villa could make huge strides with the money they will get in comparison to their compeition and nobody could dispute him joining us off the back of winning a prem and a CL final etc. I think we may end up tempting Villa with cash and players, someone like Herrera, Nmecha, Doyle and so forth.

Even if he doesn't, it seems odd that he'd sign a new deal entering his peak knowing he could play for a CL team. I'm only guessing, but seeing he was the last year of his contract, Villa could probably only get 30m max for him at the time. So perhaps an agreement is in place that he signs a new contract so they could get more from a buying club and would let him leave if a suitable offer came in.
A clause may have not worked from Villa's perspective as well because it could be seen as a distraction if word got out and everyone knew Grealish had a clause.
