Good news that we're talking again on Grealish because that must mean they're still willing to sell him. Bad news that we're still some way apart. It's actually the singing I'm most interested in because it's in a position I feel needs filling most in the window. A lot of talk about replacing Dembele but assuming Grealish covers Eriksen as a number 10, but I think he'll start in place of Dembele. I see him as a pivot in the heart of midfield pulling strings between defence and attack.

It takes a minute to not be some way apart. We have a week left. If Levy and Poch want it, they will do it.

Unfortunately it takes Levy a lot longer than a minute.

Interesting...:whistle:

I think he could be a good signing. He has the right attitude and technical abilities. Really hope we get him ?

The 'alternative' to Grealish must have also hit the rocks - don't understand why if Grealish was on a plate for us a few weeks ago like Trix suggested, we didn't pull the trigger and get it done.

Surely it's going to cost us £10-15m more now...

Or we've come back trying to agree a fee as a convenient way of keeping it warm. I do wonder if Poch has started to put the pressure on Levy however.

It's probably more that Poch and Levy are back in the UK now from our USA tour so things can get moving.

I can maybe understand Zaha with Willian looking unhappy there and Pedro getting older....but definitely not Grealish
Yeah I guess I should have perhaps highlighted Grealish as the one I understand less, the is an argument to be made with Zaha.

You must be new here. Allow me.

Once upon a time, there was a boy called Daniel Levy...

Herc has said we have asked Villa for Grealish not to play in the first league game which is Monday so that would see how far away we are

If we're close to a deal today, we really should have things signed and sealed by Monday.

Every other club would manage it.

Interestingly the 3 incomings here are being suggested as Grealish, another CM and a winger, with Toby, Rose and Dembele out. Yet we've also been told CB/LB won't be allowed to leave without a replacement lined up.

I make that 5 required, so the likelihood is we are gonna end up short in at least one area when the window closes. My guess is Dier and KWP become backup CB and LB respectively which is not good enough for our ambitions IMHO.

Dan KP's latest article seems to suggest Grealish will get done



"Toby Alderweireld, Mousa Dembele and Danny Rose are still expected to leave before the end of the summer, with moves overseas most likely, while strikers Fernando Llorente and Vincent Janssen are also for sale."

Rose sold abroad? Curious. It's probably speculation from the reporter.
