It's so good. I'm completely addicted. They're fully in the anger phase of grief. Been in denial for a whole year.

Villa will be absolutely fine without him, obviously hurts to lose your main man but they have a good team.

 

They're losing 10 assists and 6 goals, but on merit I'd say when I've watched Villa they've been creating from other areas, especially since signing Watkins. Keeping McGinn fit is important for them now, still rate him as a playmaker. If they can get Ings and Watkins on the end of some decent balls they're gonna be a deadly side going forwards.

Have you seen what happened to villa when grealish got injured, they collapsed… looking at assists and goals is one thing but it is his all round play as well scares defenders and the like. They might be fine but they are worse without him

If that's true he's earning 61p per second, every second of every minute of every hour for the next 6 years.... 

[Guest Manini]

Thoughts going out to that Middle Aged man child whopper at the training ground in the week trying to convince him to stay whilst a load of kids were innocently trying to get photos

and that’s just his wages. He’ll earn a good amount in sponsorships and bonuses as well. I’m not normally one for calling out footballers for earning too much but that does seem obscene. I mean grealish is a decent player but he’s hardly world class.

Lukaku wants more ……….

I think it’ll be similar. If he wants €12 million after tax as reported. That would be 10.1 million pounds which works out needing to be paid 365,000 pounds a week before tax. For me though Lukaku is significantly better than grealish.

Can't help feel the Premier League will go the way of La Ligue/Serie A eventually (10+ years). Ridiculous wages being dished out these days!

It’s just crazy that someone has decided to decide that Grealish is worth a £215 million spend including the fee and wages.

They don't even need an attacking midfielder!

They don’t need anything let’s be honest

Buying the best players also means that your rivals can’t have them  ………

[Stadt]

De Bruyne is 29 (and injury prone) and Mahrez is 30. If Grealish moved to United, Chelsea or Liverpool he becomes unobtainable, even for Man City.

 

It seems a decadent signing now but in a year it won’t be viewed that way. It’s expensive business but they have a huge asset tied now. It’s a great for England have Grealish and Foden playing together under Guardiola.
 

Does that mean Bernardo Silva might have limited opportunities?

They need a striker

They do but I think they are being priced out of Harry Kane and you just know Messi will be a huge temptation for them. Can see them playing with a false no.9 again and still scoring a shed load 

[Leicester_Loyal]

 

20 should be plenty in the Championship, should be 25 at the limit. Be good if they could get an agreement going like we have in the EPL for a max price on a ticket. 

[jmono84]

Grealish has done nothing to deserve that fee! Crazy Man City have spent that on him. I hope the guy flops hard.

[Leicesterpool]

Would be safe to say if city dont win the champions league this season pep is gone. 

[Leicesterpool]

Think it would be cheaper if city just bought the European cup.

Christ if Barnes got offered Man City I'd understand

Not really the same though. Barnes hasn't been with Leicester since he was 6 years old, captained the side and been your standout best player. 

 

A better comparison would be Vardy moving to Man City if you'd have failed to win the league.

The Villa Delusional Society are convinced they are getting Ward-Prowse, which is a weird one too me, more from the Saints side, are they skint or something?
