If it’s £40m it’s robbery. His price is greatly inflated by playing with average players.

Shame really. I reckon Grealish could have been doing as well as Maddison right now but he obviously loves Villa and has decided to stay put. I don't think he'll get noticed there much though and I doubt we'd go back for him.

Personally I think all this is just a way to increase his sell on value if his form is good, especially if they get promoted in the next year or two.

Yep. Just guaranteeing his club a payday when he does leave.

Although Villa fans will react to that the same way I would react to it being said about Kane ;)

As I posted a while back there are multiple release clauses depending on where Villa are, and where the club bidding are competition wise.

Agree, been watching bits of villa this season when I can just to check on him. Doesn't look worth more than 10 mill.

Nonsese, you haven't been watching properly then, he's a very talented player, you can easily see that he has a lot of untapped potential.

Leaving in the summer then!

TBH I doubt it will be to us now. I think he was well worth a punt at £25mil, but it will be quite a bit more than that next Summer(if he has a good season) If he doesn't then why would we be in for him anyway. On top of that Moura and Lamela look to be fulfilling our need for an AM who will run at players, and we need a dedicated CM not someone we can adapt to the role.
