I think you are right here Trix. Touched upon it in the ITK thread last night.
Just seems like the same old Levy tricks and puts more doubt on whether we really are going to be stepping up the quality of recruitment this summer.
I think if we'd swapped Martial for Toby already and brought De Ligt in, the deal would look much better. Even more so if we got a solid Dembele replacement beforehand and this was a 'bonus' signing.
Agreed that if the other business was already done, then OK, not a bad signing & see the logic.
Yet after all the hype about us stepping up with added funds & increased wages to attract better players, but then to begin with Grealish simply adds 'meh' to the 'meh' & people have a reflex reaction that seems so familiar.
Nevertheless, I'm still optimistic & have faith (a bit better than hope) that we get our targets. And hope to God that @dtxspurs fears don't come to fruition about not having the funds later in the window to get a desired &/or attractive target that may have suddenly become available.
