Confirmed Signing Jack Grealish

[jazzy]

Grealish is a thrilling signing. Could play for almost any team in the world.

I'm excited as the next Evertonian but have to honest mate , that's a bit of hyperbole.

 

[Neiler]

Well, it'll remind us not to get too attached to Jack if he does well.

Frankly, I'm happy with this. He will use us as a chance to play in a World Cup season without uprooting his family, while we will use him to immediately upgrade our midfield, image as a club, and send out a statement that New Everton in its shingy new stadium is a new proposition for players.

After the season, we upgrade again.

All of that mate, but also feel this changes the optics for us in the rest market and window as the immediate priority - this is a reputation changer in the market and when we do this a few head will turn. This will enable other deals getting over the line.

They can get the bus together to training.

You don't get calves like that from taking the bus. It will be a tandem.

Liverpool buy 100 mill players, we pick them up for nothing and re-invent them.

Even when they see the wages he’s on—-they’ll be over the moon!

His wages are none of their concern.

And if they want Elite wages become an Elite player.

Dave: Yeah right no worries let's have that in

"That Nick Hammond fella is an easy lad to deal with isn't he"

Yes, I would think so - assuming the money is there, of course.

 

[Ken McNaughty]

Chuffed with a years loan signing, he has bags of ability that wasn't used by Pep. Can't see Moyes telling Jack to just get the ball and pass it sideways like he has mainly had to do at Man C115y

 

[Manx Blue]

We’ve just super-sized Doucoure x 1,000

Jack’s medical must be soon. Time for @Tofeenut !

"Want to play with Ryan Fraser or Jack Grealish, Tyler".

TFG had a similar buy option when they loaned Lukaku at Roma too.

50m, what it does is gives us a foot in the door at the seasons end to renegotiate taking him permanently.

 

[millow1878]

Slightly tongue in cheek but I see alot saying it’ll help attract others.

With the outlay on this deal, there might not be much of a budget left now for others?!

I’m fully behind it though, think we’ll enjoy him & he’ll enjoy playing for us too…

Well we’ve already bid for dibling so I think we’ve at least got that

 

[Drico]

Even when they see the wages he’s on—-they’ll be over the moon!

They're the wages from his City contract. Manchester City players - of which he is still one - are paid more than Everton players at the moment.

Plus, there's only one player in the current Everton squad who could compare in terms of status with Grealish - and he's the goalkeeper.

 

[Drico]

"Want to play with Ryan Fraser or Jack Grealish, Tyler".

I think Tyler wanted to come anyway.

It's players higher up the food chain who will likely see Everton as a viable and attractive move now.
