Confirmed Signing Jack Grealish

[TheBigIguana]

I’m sure he’s being signed with the goal of playing them together in some form, which sounds pretty exciting to be honest

They’re so similar I just don’t see how it really works. Someone will say that one or the other can play as the #10 and I don’t really see that. Ndiaye has done for us and looked less comfortable and dangerous and Grealish has tried at both Villa and City only to end up on the left. Neither has the skill set to play the right.

I hope the Freidkins have got very deep pockets.

£250k per week blows our wage structure and transfer strategy to pieces!

Technically City will be paying the salary and Everton will pay them a fee which will be recorded as a transfer fee for the year’s playing rights

 

[Frenk]

Are temporary and expensive improvements really the best strategy?

Maybe, yes because we simply can’t do everything we need to do to this squad in one window.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Might be when we need a spark, yeah.

250k a week for a spark

To what end? He’s on loan and very likely not going to be made permanent. He’s 30 and struggled with fitness even if we were looking at making it permanent. He’s going to take minutes away from our current best player and/or shift him out of position. And all of that so we can finish what, 11th instead of 13th?

He enables McNeil to be played on the right mate, you should be delighted at this prospect after calling for it for years.

Ndiaye Alcaraz and KDH already do this though?

I wouldn't worry, most on here will tell you we don't have one.

The reports are that Everton have offered to pay £250k per week to help cover his £300k per week wages.

The £50k per week shortfall is still being negotiated.

However you dress it up, it’s not good.

If we signed a player for 40m on 100k a week, the cost per week would work out to 250k.

We aren’t paying his wages, we are paying city to loan a player.

 

[nevsonlymate]

Where will Grealish play? Lm and move Ndiaye inside? Or vice versa

Interchange through out the game to see who gets the better of the full back hopefully

It was only a joke mate, I never want to see McNeil on right again in my lifetime.

 

[davek]

You don’t like him then?

As long as it's for us I advocate the dark arts.

 

[Benicetoourboys]

I know its a bit 'gungho' but I still want him here. We need excitement.

Who picks up Employers’ National Insurance?

Arteta was also good at drawing free kicks.

What are the odds that Grealish gets no decisions playing for us and the media quickly brand him as a ‘diver’?

Odds on.
