2025/26 Jack Grealish

[micknick]

Goodness me thats bad.

You are so so weird

 

[blulouie]

Yes. Every time he's asked about his football here he says it's great and then stresses it's a loan.

"always heavily implied" turned to "stresses" in a few short minutes.

He doesnt come across that way at all , just you making things up ....again.

 

[Drico]

Yep it's standard everton timing. A shocking week of results so send out a transfer rumour

They used to have a stadium update to release on days like this...

 

[Cels]

Not seen anything online

£30mil would be totally insane.

For £15mil or £20mil i could understand if we had a young LW to develop behind him.

£30mil for a player 31 in September.

He sounds exactly like the type of young go-getter we need at the club to move us forward

 

[Zatara]

Realistically thats just his book value plus the remainder of his contract, if City can get that they break even with his purchase, so reckon the papers are just putting 2 and 2 together.

Not suggesting it’s the right move, but if he does arrive I reckon it will be undisclosed and the fee will be his book value plus ½ his annual salary, with us picking up the other ½ in his next years wages.
Something like £23m-£24m plus a £150k / w contract.
Still not convinced TFG see signing him for say 3 years with a total outlay close to £50m plus this years fee as something they want to pony up for imo.

Joined City in 2021 on a 6 year deal to 2027.

£100mil ÷ 6 = £16.67mil book value this summer.

Not sure why we'd pay anymore than that as a maximum.

 

[Zatara]

You are so so weird

Yeah well perhaps you could name a 30+ year old player sold for £30mil?

Didnt think so. Maybe you're the weird one to think its normal or good to pay 2 times the book value of a teams unwanted player.

Because City will still owe him 1 years wages at the end of this season.
If they sell him, he’s still entitled to it and I doubt we’d cover it in its entirety

 

[jazzy]

I dont think we could get a City player who would make it worthwhile?

Oscar Bobb?

 

[jazzy]

There's no way we're paying £30m for this cat.

And paying him his current wage

 

[linnane666]

As frustrating as he's been last few weeks, imagine where we'd be without him

Last season we loaned 3 forwards in Harrison (shudder), Lindstrom and Broja. All of whom would have been on more wages in total than what Grealish is, yet Grealish has produced much more than all 3 of them put together, in half a season.

Then, we have 2 fwds who cost over £50mil in total and across their contracts will cost more than what Jack will across his - if, we signed him for £30mil. You’d also expect Jack to have many more goal involvements than them 2 put together as well, barring a severe upturn in form for both of them.

Then we have McNeil and Dibling as our back up wingers. While Dibling is a new signing, he already looks like he won’t get anywhere near Grealish numbers in a full season, and neither will McNeil (based on this seasons performances) if he was to play instead of Grealish.

Now, there is obviously a chance that we don’t sign Grealish and we sign a winger who is cheaper, has a lower wage, and produces more. However, based on the evidence of the players mentioned above that isn’t likely.

You can talk about resale value but the players I mentioned above in Dibling, Beto and Barry, also would not get anywhere near what we paid for them should we sell them now.

That’s why I personally see it as a no brainer.

Very well reasoned. Made me see it differently.

 

[Zatara]

Oscar Bobb?

Think he is moving elsewhere if rumours are to be believed.

In any case I cant see anything happening with Grealish until the summer.

 

[Bally1989]

the timing of this is so suspicious

Casemiro went to Utd for £60m at 30 years old.

Bayern spent considerably more than that on a 30 year old Harry Kane.

 

[PhilRegan]

People who are shocked and disgusted by the talks of 30m . Lads that gets you Barry or Beto or bolasie or gbamin . 42m gets you dibling. 50m gets you sigurdsson lol. This is grealish
