Transfer Rumour Jack Grealish

[Howards tipple]

I said no chance, about 99 pages ago.

However, I would really like us to push on with this.

Whilst it will be a challenge with salary, it would show some intent on signing talent.

My hope would be that it would attract other players and show that we are serious with investment and our plans.

I think we do it before the Leeds game in all honesty, if the terms are right

My wife and daughter are involved with this

I see the ones who turned their noses up in June are now desperate for him to arrive . So much for the plan.

 

[BlueBarrow]

Even if we have to pay his whole salary (which we may not have to ) that's around 15 million for a season. Pay it now , get him in , and use him to show intent for others to sign thereafter. Don't wait until the last week, when a CL club may get a season ending injury.

 

[PhilRegan]

If they would of gotten him through the door early on on photos and selling shirts etc , maybe these "good" players who have turned Everton down according to Moyes may have reconsidered. The mood would be better thats for sure and hes an "elite " player afterall.

Every club and every window needs a catalyst

If I was going to covering his £300k per week, I’d leave it a couple of months too

Brilliant insight pal.

So you don't think he'll sign for us but we might?

 

[wainy]

Would be our best player by a distance. Get it done everton.

 

[Zatara]

I get your point, I think as much as a "statement signing", the other factor might be that Moyes wants a couple of players who can come in and have an immediate impact. Dibling (if it happens), Barry and Aznou are all exactly the kind of players we should be signing, but to supplement that we probably need a couple of players who can lift our level immediately.

Grealish, as a loan, would probably make a lot of sense in this respect. Douglas Luiz too for that matter. They'd be expensive loans, but they'd both probably raise the profile of the team and (fingers crossed) hit the ground running

If we were going for him it would have made more sense to 'overpay' on his loan/wages to entice others to join...a month ago.

Now i see it as El Khannouss £22.5mil vs Grealish £10mil loan. Just doesnt make financial sense.

Though if we got him and Luiz for a season and both hit the ground running (after missing our preseason?) then we'd have to get europe to make it worth it

He got made into a Pepbot and it removed all the good from his game imo.

Excellent analysis.

 

[raiseyoureyebrow4thewin!]

I think he would be great for us & us great for him. Lets have some excitement.

even if just for one season like rodriguez taking us up to the champions league places for a bit around xmas…

makes us dream again

Yeah, it would have been better a month ago but neither Luiz nor Grealish are going to leave until late in the window until City and Juve realise they can't shift those players permanently. Then it'll be a question of negotiating how much the loans cost which will again be a bit of brinkmanship.

I understand the frustration everyone has, but neither of those players are moving anytime relatively soon.

It’s mind boggling how much he’s costing City, £100m fee over 6 year contract is £16.6m per year / £320k per week, plus he’s getting paid £300k per week.

He was never in a million years worth that contract.

This is why the market is up the wall,it's distorted beyond belief.
