Interesting way to look at it, Alistair Gold said hed be shocked if grealish starts, in the same way he doesn't believe we're going for lobotka. Hopefully he's wrong about both.
Why did anyone expect anything less than him starting? He played in every friendly Villa played during preseason and we've not heard a single thing about a fee being agreed.
If they had chosen to not play him without a fee being agreed they'd have completely undone all of their hardened stance against us over the last few weeks. Playing him is 100% the right call for them to make
I hope we have all come to terms with the fact he's either going to play a blinder tonight and add £10m to his price tag or get injured...
Well there was ITK from Villa's end that he's likely not to feature tonight because they've agreed a £20m deal with us - granted, that info is looking more and more suspect as the seconds pass
Talk about clutching at straws, but since he's a boyhood Villa fan, I reckon his reaction at the end of this match will say a lot about whether he expects to leave Villa by the end of the window or not...

Apparently Villa have a few medicals booked in over the next couple of days. They appear to be spending.
What time zone are you in?Confirmed that he starts for Villa tonight.
