Jack Grealish

[Marvin]

I don't know that a fee IS being discussed! :-)

I was just repeating what the poster said.

£100m would be the absolute mimimum, tbf. It would all definitely be spent though, yes.

Thanks. The way I imagined this being done, if it is done, would be through a release clause. And if there is one, I can't see it being set that high. £75m-80m maybe?

Sorry but what bollocks , he cheats to get set pieces , he is opposite trying to find team mates

Respectfully, you have no idea what you're on about. The way Villa play, he is the main out ball for them. He has to carry them up the pitch because the other midfielders aren't nearly as capable. It's called taking responsibility, he wins fouls in that process and helps Villa catch a breather. And he wins them rightfully.

Let’s just hope Grealish doesn’t melt like most of our signings returning to their former club. Most other players, and it seems especially City players used to love sticking it to us when they come back. All of ours usually hide. Worst offender was Nasri playing Arsenal.

And weirdly the best was Darius Vassell who absolutely loved a goal against Villa ;)

Double Bollocks! :-)) It's actually more a case of he gets set upon by all opposition players in the vicinity who can get near him, who constantly commit desperate fouls on him, because they sh** their pants, and can't handle him...true story!

No, it's not...and there's no chance he'd be sold for that price.

That's right. No chance the release clause, if there is one, is under £100 million. If it doesn't exist the price starts at £120 million. He's a top three creator in what is apparently the best league in the world, why would anyone think he would cost under £100m.

That's more down to his movement, his brain works quicker that the players he plays against, I mean as when he's on the ball he's already thinking and looking for team mates and passes, where as the players he's up against are just thinking I've got to stop him.

If you watch the villa games you can almost guarantee he will be kicked in the 1st 5 minutes by the opposition, that's why I think a lot of time he goes down easier than he should but there is always contact, I remember they showed his shins after a game and they looked like someone had been clawing at them.

Jack is that type of player that they are like 2 to 3 steps ahead, a bit like Ronnie o'sullivan on the snooker table he's always 2 to 3 shots ahead of the current shot he's on, over the years you get these type of players, normally not English, that's why I was disappointed Southgate didn't play jack and foden more, as there to very intelligent players that see the bigger picture.

If jack and foden were Spanish etc. They'd have a lot more caps and be 1 of the 1st on the team sheet, we'll in my opinion anyway.

Will jack leave, I honestly don't know if he does good luck to him, but if he does, I feel it has to be to a team managed by Pep as Jack plays his type of football.

Finally a sensible post. You know football sir.

David Silva used to get much the same treatment and won us loads of free kicks/advantage play from fouls.

No chance. If the clause exists, which is very doubtful, it wouldn't be anything under £100 million. And if you were prepared to activate it you would have done so already.

exactly Dave and Kev used get the shit kicked out of them every week and we were all up in arms . Anyone who calls Grealish a cheat doesn’t know football, a cheat dives like salah not get the shit kicked out of him. Grealish is opposite of a cheat , he’s brave on the ball.
