Jack Grealish: Manchester City make £100m bid for Aston Villa and England midfielder He is good but not £100m good. City don't even need an attacking midfielder :joy:

Though there is no need for attacking midfielder but pep is a tactical genius he will definitely use him for more pressing due to his nimble movements to free up Outer D ...I think he is a good addition to the team strength but I don’t know whether the price tag is justified or not..

I thinks he's a brilliant player and suits their play style. He's technically excellent, can play multiple positions in a fluid system like Guardiola likes. As for the fee, Pogba cost us 89 million and I believe Grealish has a higher ceiling plus there's the English tax.

@dwightschrute shouldn't they be prioritizing Kane over Grealish even if it costs more

I think they will absolutely go for Kane even after they get Grealish. They finalized Grealish because he was more achievable. They know Daniel Levy will be a ball-buster when they start negotiations and a deal will likely take more time plus there's no way in hell Spurs would sell Kane before their GW1 match against City.

Grealish is a top player but he will be competing with the likes of Ferran torres, KDB, mahrez etc while they require a finisher more than anything to turn in those chances. Kane would be a more apt investment

Levy has dragged Spurs from being irrelevant to being in a CL final, regularly challenging for Top 4 and finishing above Arsenal for almost every season recently by being a ball-buster. No way he's changing. He's also not going to sell Kane to a PL club without making them pay over the top and Kane's not going to train until he gets his move. It's going to be tasty!

Kane has missed another training session, I feel this is ungentlemanly behaviour by the club since the player rather openly made his decision (also the captain). It will ruin the locker room for them. 


Also what do you think are our realistic chances in getting a proper CDM this window?

I kinda disagree here. Only one who's ungentlemanly here is Kane. He's under contract with Spurs, he doesn't have a release clause so Spurs are under no obligation to sell him, and it is his duty to report for training. Grealish has been training with Villa since Monday, and his deal is almost close to completion whereas City haven't even sent a proper bid to Spurs.

As for CDM, there are not many around and those who we've been linked with (Camavinga, Saul, Goretzka) are all B2B midfielders so my hopes are not high. Looks like another season of McFred double pivot :'(

Damnn…that double pivot Mcfred. It’ll be better to cash in on pogba this window only then, because he needs someone like Kante to fully utilise his offensive game. It would be good for finances and we might be able to strengthen some other position

Aguero coming in really made me feel that Barca will ensure he stays. Just read about how they were getting in some investment to deal with their financial woes. Now, I'm just hoping he goes to Man City and we see a Pep-Messi reunion. The Last Dance.

I am going to cry today with a pillow on my side. This Barcelona was like my small family with whom I used to relate myself. Neymar gone, Pep gone, Suarez gone, Messi gone - Now what's left here? 

Won't change my DP though. Messi will be always a Barcelonian.
