Transfer Rumour Jack Grealish

At the end of the day you have to trust the self made billionaires they know what they’re doing. And if they don’t then so be it. Imagine a scene were they’re sitting in the boardroom chatting their high powered ways. Oh hang on says one. Dave the bus driver is worried this not a good use of our money. Are we sure we’ve thought this through 😂

Well I think we all know that, but i'm slightly confused as to why you've been a member of a football forum for 17 years if you don't like discussing different opinions about football. Takes all sorts I suppose.

The only reason we have a SHOT at Grealish is because of all the doubts about him. Some think hes washed up, others think he was just temporarily ruined by city. Only one of those is correct. The best clubs are able to sort through that and figure out what the truth is, getting good deals on undervalued players and avoiding the busts. Under the new ownership, I dont know if we are part of that group or not.

Agree. I do want him and I don't want him, for exactly these reasons. I think he would improve us, but equally I worry about the huge cost on one player, even if only a straight loan, and the ripple effect it has on other players wanting astronomical wages.

Seeing how we wouldn't pay Doucoure, DCL etc... what they wanted, I think the new owners and execs will keep tight control on wages, which ultimately is why I think this wont happen, as City will want to get as much of his cost off their own wage bill as possible.

I don't think anyone thinks he's literally not good enough to wear the shirt, just that he may not be a particularly good use of resources. People failing to take that type of thing into account after everything that's happened over the last few years shows a quite staggering lack of awareness to be honest.

I also think people have concerns this version of 29 year old Grealish may not be good enough. It's not a comment on how good he's been, but where's he's at now.

A bit like Alli at his best was miles better than anyone we had at his best. But that version of him wasn't.

I worry football is now very physically competitive. If you come off the treadmill a bit, it's very easy to be left behind. It's not as easy to hide a mercurial talent as maybe it was even 20 years ago.

Thing about Deli was everyone knew he’d lost it. Grealish hasn’t showed that at all. All these he’s lost the desire posts have nothing to back it up. It’s mainly nonsense
 
It's on...he's just been spotted in Yates wine lodge

I'm not sure the situations are that different mate. Like Alli was doing ok earlier the season we took him I think.

Maybe Grealish is great, but I can understand the risk.
