Respect my friend. I think he is a very good player, but not a 40 plus million one (if you believe the whispers).

If we sign a better midfielder than Grealish this summer then I can understand this view - but if the problem is the price tag, and not the quality of player, then nothing’s changed with us and it’s going to be the same old story.

The reason Villa are playing in this £170m game is, largely, because that player not worth £40m has dragged them there.

You may not think he's worth it, but what you think means the square route of fuck all in the world of Aston Villa.

How many of our own sales have been worth what Levy made clubs pay for them? It works both ways.

Villa were always going to win this game, Derby have been trounced by them twice. Leeds were the team to beat them.

It’s not hype, he’s clearly a quality player imo

Yep. I was one of the people who sighed whenever we were linked with him. I then actually started to watch him and saw his ability and the good he could bring to our squad.

A good player who likes to try and make things happen. Surprised people don't see what he could bring.

And you thinking he's worth £40m is equally worthless. It's all opinion mate.

Villa are coming back to the EPL good luck to them and very good news also for the Villa fans because Jack Grealish will be leading them.

I guess we had our chance last season.

I respect your comments, we will be spending a huge amount as a matter of opinion#optimistic

I just believe we could spend that money better elsewhere.

Have I said he's worth £40mil?

I don't think he's worth anything other than what anyone is willing to pay for him.

Sorry your post seemed to be digging out herc for him saying he didn't think he's worth £40m.

Indeed, and that could be said about pretty much any/every player we're linked with.

All transfers in this day and age seem to involve paying stupid fucking money.

Nope. Just pointing out that EVERY player is worth what any club is willing to pay for them. What we think a player is worth means absolutely bugger all.

Comes down to how much we want the player - if there’s better out there for the same money, great

True. But we can express our opinion.

I personally think £40m for a championship player, with injury issues, that has no international caps is a fucking rip off. Moura was £25m. Sancho went for £8m. The epl premium on buying players is only there because idiot clubs pay them fees. The rest of europe buy better players for less.
