Player Valuation: £35m
I dont think its even worth discussing any alleged bid - because there hasen't been one at all.
What it has brought up with our fanbase though, is the debate on what a player is worth and what other fans think said players are worth, you could go as far as that club hierachys have that debate too.
In my opinion it is irelevant what the buying club or other clubs think that player is worth, it is what the player is worth to that selling club.
Crystal Palace for example, what is Wilifried Zaha worth to them? Having him in there team pretty much guarantees a Premier League place, which comes with Premier League money. There is also the emotional attachment of a local lad, fan favourite and possibly being one of there greatest ever players. How much time, effort & money would that take to replace, and even so, it isnt a guarantee you could reinvest that to improve?
The same argument could be held for Grealish at Villa, i've seen shouts from so many people saying he will be going here next year or he will be going there. If he keeps Villa up, i very much doubt he will be going anywhere.
People talk about the Maddison & Grealish who's better debate. (Thats for another day, personally i like watching both) But Maddison would be far more obtainible and a cheaper option than Grealish as Maddison isnt as important to Leicester as Grealish is to Villa. I'd argue if an 80m bid went in for Maddison Leicester would take it, whereas i think Villa would want north of 120m to even talk about Grealish.
The same applys with us & Richarlison. he's an important player to us, so the only relevant valuation of him is what we think he is worth.
As i said, all irrelevant anyway as Sky completely made it up!
