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.
You don't think signing Grealish would have Sky/TNT show casing our games?

Does feel like Spurs is the place for him. Maddison out for the season, Son gone, European footie. Will Levy be prepared to shell out for his 300k a week wages though? Possibly.

If it’s a choice between us or the top 8 not really.

Grealish is a good player - but he’s leaving one of those clubs and none of the other top 6 seem in for him. They quite clearly have squads of 25 that make him surplus. Why would they show us with him and not them with 25. It wont turn the dial.

I think you are overestimating his profile mate.

Grealish isn’t very popular in Ireland may I also add. Where we have a decent base.
 

Seen a few things on Grealish, some reports that we have offered to pay half his wages (£150K a week / £7.8m) for the year and City want the full amount.
I have seen before where players wanted moves they temporarily took reductions in their wage to make the move happen, Lingard when he went from Man utd to West Ham, and Danny Drinkwater when he went to Burnley on loan from Chelsea. But I know thats quite rare and normally when the player is very keen on the move.
I remember when we signed James, there was a suggestion that we paid £12m to get him out of his Real Madrid contract and Madrid essentially just gave that money to James and then he signed a new contract with us. I could see something like that happening, Like we pay £20m for Grealish, City give him that money and terminate his contract and he signs a new contract with us, on reduced wages, but with £20m in the bank.

There seem to be a lot of clubs lurking and waiting to see what we finally agree with City and Grealish and could just come in and match it

I mean it is absolutely obscene that someone who is already worth £15.6m would not consider cutting their weekly wage from 300k to say 120-150k in order to play regular football, resurrect their career, and make their last ever chance at a World Cup. A World Cup they have a pretty decent chance at winning.

His life literally cannot be any different either way
