Confirmed Signing Jack Grealish

[Jebus_lives]

Does he keep those deals if he signs for us though?

They'd be to him personally I imagine.

 

[Lanolin]

As a sample test, I've just asked 3 people who do not follow or like football. All 3 knew who Grealish was, nobody had a clue about Ndiaye.

Grealish brings attention to the club sufficient to justify the price. He has deals with Pepsi, Puma, Bose, Gucci.

I'm not sure that really means anything though, it depends on the context. If they're all saying 'oh yeah Grealish, I know all about him he's amazing I actively seek out information about him regularly' then that's potentially relevant. If they're effectively saying 'yeah doesn't he play for England?' then that's not going to have any benefit to us at all in a commercial sense. I'm not saying that means we shouldn't buy him, but I don't think his profile is anywhere near big enough to do it for commercial reasons, it would be purely for footballing ones.

If we want players the calibre of Grealish this would have to happen.

TFG pulled out all the stops to get Dybala , done the same with Lukaku.

The club has only just got back to sort-of financial health let’s not ruin it eh just because we have shiny new owners.

Yeah that Grealish Did you not watch any of the games?

You literally called them a ‘bang average City side’

And those stats are insanely incorrect!!

 

[Hitchy]

Would love to see it happen but unfortunately I think it has Spurs written all over it, especially with Maddison doing his ACL. Hopefully I’m wrong though

 

[Lanolin]

They'd be to him personally I imagine.

But based on him being a high profile player. If his profile drops so will his deals, obviously.

Started 23 league games and was a sub in 5 more playing over 2000 minutes - maybe don’t trust google’s AI in future

Spurs all over this transfer.

 

[Jebus_lives]

Yes please!

I’m curious to see how his profile would bridge + £7.8 mill a year in breaking our wage structure on top of an initial £7.8mill.

Total cost £15.8 mill.

Increased TV revenue from games, increased exposure through media attention, increasing the clubs profile through social media.

Have a quick look at Jack Grealish's social media numbers compared to Evertons (let alone any of our players).

Yeah, hard to see how he doesn't end up there covering Maddison for the season

 

[blulouie]

You think Grealish is as good as J.Rod City have spent fortunes on all sorts of bad players.

Didn't say that at all.

Or, just use it in the right way....

Why would we get increased TV revenue from games. He won’t increase frequency that much eg Rodriguez etc.

Increased media attention or profile doesn’t generate any money - you are looking Sponsorship - why would you sponsor Everton for a temporary player!

Sorry mate don’t agree on your profile arguememt, at its kindest it doesn’t lift boats to the level it need to to make the disruption or cost worthwhile.

It’s Jack Grealish it isn’t Mbappe.

The same thought had occurred to me.

Despite what KDH has said about his best role being as a number 8, our current system has a hybrid 8/10 which most people seem to think will be where he's playing.

That being the case, Grealish plays from the left and Dibling plays from the right - where does that leave Ndiaye?

Fair enough, you need more than 3 attacking midfielders of note and Ndiaye would still get loads of minutes but it feels a little bit like Ndiaye would become a squad player rather than our best attacking player - that might be progress, but feels a little harsh on him.

Ndiaye is a nailed on starter even if all the signings materialised. 4231 with him, Grealish and Dibling as the 3, Gana and KDH as the 2 behind. KDH would be the ball carrier and free up Gana to just focus on covering.
