Every other club makes transfers look easy, yet we always hear how difficult it is, hard times, agents playing games - more of the spin. Like that we’ll do signings early, have a special relationship with Madrid blah blah blah.
Job for this window’s resident peeper @freeekiSomeone on Reddit says his bio doesn’t say Aston Villa player anymore but can anyone confirm if it ever did? (It currently doesn’t)
Ah but they still manage a signing!I don't think it's that much different for us then other clubs. I'm sure every club has their own transfer sagas.
Imagine being a united fan, they get linked to anybody and everybody. They have the means to sign most of them as well, so the fans must get hyped and disappointed more often than us.
I dont know why people think he's an alternative to Eriksen. He will play in Dembeles position.
No, that’s the mighty Sander BergeIts only hope. If he is Dembeles replacement we are fucked.
Just read through a whole bunch of pages and I am surprised at the judgment made on the basis of him playing in the championship, he is not a championship player and is not championship level he is Premier league level but stayed to help the club he loves. He could and should have been playing at the top level all along. This will be a very good signing.

I believe he is and have done for a number of years.Premier League yes but not in a CL club.

That is quite a paradoxical post. Is he an inferior player, or is he worth so more than the supposed £25m that the bid is laughable?
It’s laughable we’ve been chasing a player from a broke Championship club all summer and still haven’t got it over the line. Put in a bid with 2 days to go that will be rejected. What have we been doing all summer?
Grealish may or may not turn out to be a good signing and he’ll be getting my full support. Can only see him making our bench at best.
The way we’ve gone about trying to improve our first team this summer has been laughable.
You are forgetting that by waiting we actually had a significant option value, in that had the purchase/bailout of Villa not gone through they would have been desperate to raise funds and we might have got him for 20m, so potentially an 8-10m saving as the cost of a few weeks of him training with us. Sure, it didn't work out this time, but if your downside is limited then this is a financially rewarding strategy for the club.This is retarded. Is this meant to be tactical?
The price has been somewhere between 25 and 30 for the entire bloody window. Why have we waited till now?
God this is annoying. We’ll end up paying somewhere between 28 and 30, which we could have done before the World Cup.
Shambles
How do any of us know how we have been going about our business? Signing no one so far looks strange from the outside but as fans of the club surely we can look at the evidence of the past decade and know that the people making the decisions have the best interests of the club driving their decision making.It’s laughable we’ve been chasing a player from a broke Championship club all summer and still haven’t got it over the line.
