Confirmed Signing Jack Grealish

[T LEAFE]

Another left sided player....

 

[MACCA75]

I can't see £12M covering both so I think it'd likely just be the loan fee.

Considering they dropped £100M on the transfer fee then they probably think that's an acceptable fee for a season before wages come into it.

We aren’t paying a 12M loan fee and then 15M on his wages. 27M for one season!?

The bit I can’t work out is Grealish plays in the same position as our best player. So it’s an odd move when we’re screaming out for a few other positions.

If we get dibling, it makes sense. If we sign nobody else, I completely agree with you. We will see how things pan out. One thing I have learned is never to trust Everton on transfers. O'Brien is our undisputed starting RB so that is already cause for concern.

Do you see the point in ANY signing mate? serious question.

Most of our signings this summer have been good! Barry, Aznou and Alcaraz are all the types of signings we should be doing. Aznou looked a bit rough today but they're largely both useful now and with room to grow. A few of the other rumors fit in the same bucket (even if that is a lot of money for Dibling, it's still in the right ballpark).

So this and KDH just confound me really. I don't get why we think we have to do these types of deals. We're paying premiums for nothing.

Even if we get Dibling we're either spending absurd wages to sit Grealish or keeping our current best player out of the team. Why?

You can't have too many good players. We haven't had options and competition in years.

Forget the logic and believe in football romance again!!

AFCON. We will almost certainly need all the help we can get. Ndiaye will play anywhere across the front and the players will rotate. Moyes will either make it work or he won't. We need the players and we freed up wages for signings like this.

That’s a fair point.

 

[Drico]

We have no right-hand side, so we've decided to max out the left.

Instead of sinking, the pitch will, therefore, capsize into the Mersey. On the upside, if we just need a left-hand side and no right, we don't have to worry about the pitch being too small for the stadium.

I just really don’t think it’s a good plan

This is the bad type of competition though. We don’t want someone who we get nothing out of 12 months from now to play over our best player.

I’m all for pushing Ndiaye, hell I’d love that lad from Lyon to come in, but this isn’t the way to do it.

If Grealish signs I don't see Ndiaye being dropped. I think both play together often. But it gives us another good option

12mil max all in is
My guess

I think KDH will drop next to gana in certain games and in the tougher fixtures KDH will play as the 10 and 3rd centre mid. And then it will be on form who gets the wide roles
