Mendez £20m & Grealish £30m (if Villa don’t go up) Not sure what Grealish has done to warrant being worth £30m. His tally of 6 goals and 6 assists (?) aren’t anything special, especially in the championship. Watched him vs West Brom and he didn’t stand out. Opinions I know but I’m not sure he’s a top 10 premier league footballer. Huge downgrade imo & id hoped we’d sign better considering all this top 6 talk.

Look at Villa’s win percentage with & without Grealish. He dictates games which to be honest in our new style of play him & Madders would thrive. I agree with regards to the price tag it is too much however he’s young & English, unfortunately that’s the going rate now. For me he’s worth £20m.

They wanted £40m last summer from Spurs Which is exactly why he’s had the chance to have a season in the championship. He’s not worth anything near that and at £20m he isn’t the player we need to justify that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they've seen that £50m can go in the blink of an eye in football if you buy crap. Read the latest statements.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justfoxes Posted 17 May 2019 Share Posted 17 May 2019 Sort this out Leicester Tielemans is priority we need to get this lad lined up ASAFP either all this negative press is a smoke screen and it is on the cards or we’ve Royaly Fuched up by missing out on such a quality player ?

So many mixed signals this window I’ve found already. Rumours that we are cooling interest on Youri so we can invest elsewhere in the squad suggests to me that there isn’t as much funds as we originally expected. Yet anyone with inside knowledge is claiming we are gonna spend huge this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangerous but inevitable ambitions, alot of Clubs in the Premier League era have gotten to this point of being past 'established' and trying into trying to mix it with the big boys; Bolton, Villa, Leeds, Blackburn, Stoke & Pompey come to mind. Could say the only middling team which hasn't yoyo'd is Everton, somehow perennially between good/crap. It's a challenging task is all I'm basically saying, many have fallen by the wayside on this path 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
