Yes, Grealish was happy to come, and yes, the reason he didn't was because we didn't pay the fee. But Villa's supposedly reasonable price was £40m, for a player who that point had only excelled in the Championship. They were always firm on that price, and at the time it was absolutely not seen...
Lord help me, the irony is painful. Next time I'll put a 8 "LOL"s and some tongue-poking emojis in it to signal that it's a joke.
In the meantime, get back to your naughtiness.
Went to the Cottage about a month ago with some mates (Fulham vs Brentford), I made sure to pay attention to him as I had a feeling we'd be in for him. He was by far the most dangerous player on the pitch. Played with huge confidence for someone his age, taking players on with ease. Worked hard...
Could the mystery Juve player be Berardi? He's not there right obviously but Juve co-own him I think and have the option to buy him back fully next season.
Plus, he was a stand-out at the U21 Euros, which I believe we were known to have scouted.
Think Kramer could be a player we're looking at going for (again?) later in the window, like Levy said. The CL qualifying rounds could have something to do with that. Leverkusen are no guarantee to go through at this stage and if they drop out, Kramer may be more easily attainable.
Great piece of ITK, but that last bit (sadly) seems to have turned out to be untrue. Manchester Evening News is saying he passed his medical at United today. Seems to be a formality from here on out.
I agree that £20m is too much, but then I don't think we're going to spend £20m on him. I think it'll be more in the £15m range, possibly lower, considering he was bought for £13m but is reportedly on very low wages and wants to leave. In saying that, for £15m we wouldn't get Kramer either. Not...
For what it's worth, statistically they stack up similarly, and McCarthy already plays in the Premier League and (I believe at least) would be cheaper.
