Here you go for the spurs bedwetters

Well that explains everything...

They might. Or they might think it's an ambitious move for a club that want to progress and they get to play alongside a player who is a champions league, Premier league winner and whose previous managers and team mates have praised for being humble and professional.

Jesus, you're talking like this guy was a world class player we're not signing a Beardsley, Kanchelskis or J.Rod.

No one is going to pay his wages city are stuck with him unless they change stance towards the end of the window

He's contracted to 300k a week. Legally he has to be paid that when going on loan.

He isn't changing contracts. Players don't drop wages when they go on loan, the loan team pays the wages at the end of the season in a lump sum.

City will have to pay him £300k every week next season unless they manage to sell him

Rashford took a pay cut when he went to Barcelona so it can be done. It's rare but does happen.

I can't see us paying anything near that tbh.

But point stands ( Grealish or any other top player )
If you want top end players
Be prepared to pay top end.

Are they worth it...hell No.
But I gave up worrying about footballers wages many years ago.

He isn't a top end player.

He isn't a top end player.

Ok then.

Rumours about him seem uncanny that they may be true - he got kicked out of the England squad - & when he went back to City Pep never played him apart from a few substitute games - -

plus we need to build for the future - I remember everyone raving about the Deli Ali signing - say no more ....

I don't remember raving about the Deli Ali deal, but I'm sure someone will vault me.
I remember being concerned about his injury record, don't think many of us weren't concerned by it, great player when fit like, but that was far too good of a deal between Levy and Luvvie for my liking.

Tottenham is the best bet.

He didn't. The press reported that wrong. Every Utd player took a 25% pay cut for missing out on CL.

He's simply earning 25% less at Barca because of his utd contract

Pay cut for the opportunity to play for Barca.
vs
Pay cut for the opportunity to play for Everton.

Mate, in the Dibling thread you suggested Dibling is as good as Cristiano Ronaldo was at his age - I’d say that’s a far more ridiculous shout than saying Grealish is a top player.

Can't find a single link reporting that but happy to be proven wrong

Tottenham is the best bet.

Apparently wants to stay in the north west, has a young baby. Also if wants the World Cup, he knows he’s playing every week at Everton, no guarantees at spurs
