If I was in my early twenties with more money than I knew what to do with I'd probably act like a dick as well (in fact, I've done plenty of that without the millions tbf). they get paid to kick a ball about - if they choose to be a good person and do charity work and act like a model pro then fine - but if they don't? they don't owe it to anyone. IIRC I think Grealish does his bit for charity as well. JEALOUSY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following the ITK's quite closely, I've come to the conclusion that none of them are an accurate source of information when it comes to transfers. Just my opinion, it's clear some get a bit of info regarding fixtures, some get info on kits... the transfer stuff I'm just not seeing like we've had in the past. Too much regurgitated or vague posting going on. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's me and Col calling each other shit bags or people arguing about some other pointless shit, general rule of thumb is that there is no new information. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCFC hub Posted 31 May 2018 Share Posted 31 May 2018 I've heard price has been agreed. £20m plus add ons. Wages and contract length agreed also. Just trying to negotiate a proper hair cut into his contract before a medical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 31 May 2018 Share Posted 31 May 2018 20m and i'd definitely take him. Iheanacho Diabate Grealish Gray Ndidi Choudhury Chilwell Maguire --- Pereira --- That's a lot of very talented young players. I like what we're doing. Fill in spots here and there with proven players with a good head on their shoulders and we should be set for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having youngsters is good but the conditions must be correct. No point having a full team of under 23s. Much more beneficial to have one or two within a team full of expirence to help them progress and improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s between 3-5 starters in that group for me and all the rest are in the squad and the second player needed for every position. The problem I have is that many of them have been given chances and consistently not taken them and some of the rest are unknown at Prem level however I’d love that to be our Cup squad! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not suggesting that that be our starting line up, merely that there are a lot of players that have a lot of potential in our side. Hopefully they can realise that potential with us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc sheff Posted 31 May 2018 Share Posted 31 May 2018 i'd prefer Maddison, he's shown end product in every league he's played in; suggests he could make the step up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also offers you a better option from set pieces. To me Maddison seems more determined to succeed & has his head scored on a lot more than Grealish. That’s imo.

Max Power Posted 31 May 2018 Share Posted 31 May 2018 £40m is the amount Villa need to make up to not breach FFP next year. Don’t think they’ll ask for the lot from us for Grealish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be a NO SALE then and they really need to sell. I imagine he will eventually go for an upfront fee of £20m with potential add-ons I think this is very much a Maddison OR Grealish and perhaps only the injury to Maddison is delaying our decision on which. Personally think both have their benefits. Maddison perhaps the more skilful and professional but Grealish a potential live wire in the Dele Alli sense. Just hope we get either done quickly. Be amazing if we could get 2-3 players in well before the end of the window, with another couple being done later on in all likelihood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grebfromgrebland Posted 31 May 2018 Share Posted 31 May 2018 If we're going to bid 40M for anyone we should go for Loftus-Cheek 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfcrinaldi Posted 31 May 2018 Share Posted 31 May 2018 As much as I'm the fence about us signing him. I think when you look at the market nowadays, £40m is about right for a average to good player. It's going to be a risk signing him, but no more of a risk than when we signed Slimani or Musa for example. At least we know (besides his attitude) he is a good player, that will hopefully develop. And in which case, his value will double. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
