I remember Herc saying Grealish was our number 1 target ‘for that position’ - unless an opportunity elsewhere has arisen, I think we’re trying to bluff Villa.
It's business
Doesn’t make a lot of sense considering Grealish is a HG squad player with potential to be first team. Who else could fill that gap?

of course Grealish is no longer no 1 choice
He only became a choice when Levy thought he had Villa over a barrel and could give Poch a player on the cheap - now that is no longer the case and if being asked to pay the correct price makes sense he is backing off! That’s just how Levy rolls. But low sell high
Yeah I was seeing Grealish as a signing for the future, not quite ready to step into the first team. But perhaps I was wrong on that.Think I must be the only one not too pleased about the latest ITK if people are interpreting it correctly.
I want us to sign Grealish as I thought it would be a "bonus" type signing of a skilful type of player we are lacking in the squad and someone who could maybe make any absences of Eriksen a little less problematic. Expected another midfielder in addition anyway when Dembele leaves (was under the impression it was still when as opposed to if).
And I'd also rather sign Zaha and keep Toby than exchange Toby for Martial (even though Marital would be a very good signing).
Almost feel sorry for Grealish if we drop the deal now.
