Premium loan = eye watering fee I reckon.

What’s he on £15m per year……(before considering the amortisation cost for City of £16m per year)

i don’t see it atall city are saying this

they will want someone to say ok wel pay the 80 mill to buy him ( as in the clause )

This signing just shows Everton fans will moan about anything. He’s miles better than anyone we have in our whole squad and there’s people saying no hahahaha.

Exactly. Last season we’ve seen Jack Harrison, Ashley Young and Jesper Lindstrom play on the wing. Now people are turning their nose up at Grealish.

He'd be a massive upgrade on what we have had. We've had far worse.

Can’t wait for the first photos of him staggering out of The Krazyhouse the night before a match when we’ve paid £15m+ to loan him for the season.
Absolute scenes in here.

Who in the league would pay his wages, he isn’t taking a pay cut.

I think of you play with Grealish you need to go with three midfield players to cover his lack of defensive application. So 4-3-3 as opposed to 4-2-3-1

Not the end if the world, but you need the squad to carry him.

Moyes has used a 3421 before, albeit not as often, so theoretically Ilman and Grealish could operate as dual 10s. Problem is we would need wingbacks who actually defend and someone in the pivot next to Gana

Guardiola talked about it more than once last season as a factor in his limited playing time the past two seasons. It is pretty much common knowledge.

Was a massive part of their treble winning side so I that's not strictly true

Last season he's obviously been absent from a lot of squads

But I haven't seen Pep call into question his motivation to play or his professionalism in terms of training, being ready for games etc

It’s definitely nowhere near them like. Weren’t Ginola and Gazza about 35?

They did some great pranks so I can't really see the issue?

Would be our best player by a mile. Make it happen.

If City cant get a permanent deal this summer (and they wont) he’ll be loaned out until he has one year left on his deal with a fee and a % of wages.

Grealish plays during a world cup year, City get shot and reduce costs and we get get a player with a pedigree and reputation but has to fit into our wage structure.

It might include an obligation or option, he will have one year left next year, hes prob on about 200k +, but a 4 year deal on 150k a week is worth more then a one year deal on 200k a week.

So its about everyone finding a win, City save costs this year and possibly next, Jack get to play and Everton get a player who once changed hands for 100 mill, with the possibility of keeping longer if he does well.

This is i imagine what is being discussed/negotiated at the moment.
