Confirmed Signing Jack Grealish

[Ian]

Biggest name to sign since Kanchelskis?
Nobody say "No, Dele Ali"

James, surely?

 

[Groucho]

Cor blimey every time I get a Nut confirmation

I’d wanna rephrase that myself

 

[coollino]

I love how people are caring about the wage but would count a player who costs 10 MILLION pounds, a bargain

I don’t.

 

[John from Bootle]

Exactly - there's a risk.

So I don't get how people are getting upset about Simon Jordan on Talksport, of all people on all radio stations, saying that it might not work out.

Hyper sensitive some people.

Because you could literally say "it might not work out" about every single transfer ever. I don't think anybody is getting upset, just pointing out that he's a soundbite wum machine with rarely anything insightful to say on actual footy matters. He's a businessman, and there's at least a hundred people on this website alone that know more about the game of football than he ever will.

Certainly since the Johannes Vennegoor of Hesselink move broke down.

 

[Street end man]

Samuel Eto?

That's a good call to be fair. In his prime he was a world wide name.
Biggest ever was Rooney second time around.
Finished as a player yes but in his prime sat at the same table as Ronaldo and Messi.
I said Kanchelskis as he was near enough in his prime as Grealish hopefully is.
I think James was in the twilight hence we got him. A cracker though

Had about 6 good games for us and binned us off at the end of the season, couldn’t be arsed to attend the last home game and give appreciation to the fans who were never able to watch him. How pathetic to pander to that sort of player whilst criticising a player, who by all accounts has had a massive influence on forcing this move through.

Each to their own pal, but who's pandering, I'm simply stating my opinion! The guy wanted to stay and play for us and was forced out by Benitez. If Grealish does as much as Rodriguez did in his season for us I'll be very surprised, i'll be even more surprised if he manages to play more league games than him. He's had one half decent season in the last 5 years.

Option for 50m

Must say - this is overly negative even by Evertonian standards. Christ..

If we’re even entertaining at the end of the loan that it means he’s tore it up for us, and I’m here for it.

Can’t not be excited by this lad signing, we’re getting actual footballers through the door.

James in his twilight was still miles better than anyone else we had on the pitch when he played. It was obvious

Absolutely magical watching him play for us

Lets all av a disco lets all av a disco Jackkeeo Jackkeeo

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Grealish is already better than James by virtue of the fact he has working limbs.

Agree entirely. We had some true dross in that side.
