Villa saying zGreslish not leaving
Villa saying zGreslish not leaving
We all want to watch a strengthened side and i agree that there must be some investment simply to stand still, but we will all benefit from a financially well run club. League position is correlated more to wages than transfer spend (meaning either high wages lead to squad stability or huge uncertainty/value destruction in transfer spend). If we over extend financially then we could well end up like Leeds or Villa and none of us want that.I don't get this. It's not your money. If the manager wants him, so be it. No matter what the club spends on players, you will still pay the same for your match tickets, kits, etc. Wouldn't you rather watch a strengthened side?! We clearly aren't spending that money on another target, as he is our preferred, so get over it.
Grealish is NOT worth 35m atm. Outrageous really. Very bad value and yet there will still be people who want us to spunk silly money just to bring someone in.
Look elsewhere.
The market is so mad now that it doesn't seem all that strange. How much would we have considered outrageous for Sessegnon?Be shocked if DL spent £35m on him (then again, Sissoko.....)
What a weird window.

Leeds again. No we are not ever in danger of going down the Leeds road. Leeds didn't just spend a couple of extra million here and there.We all want to watch a strengthened side and i agree that there must be some investment simply to stand still, but we will all benefit from a financially well run club.

Yeah because we've left ourself all the time in the world to do that. Which is my problem with all this last minute dealing, when real targets do t materialise we end up with nothing or last minute donkeys, it's really never worked out that well for us.Grealish is NOT worth 35m atm. Outrageous really. Very bad value and yet there will still be people who want us to spunk silly money just to bring someone in.

Thanks for the considered reply.I agree it is too high, however if Poch improves him which I was certain he would like he does with the vast majority of players in just one year his value would be £50m+.
You say look elsewhere like we haven't only got the rest of today and until 5pm tomorrow. That's how Sissoko's occur. Poch obviously wanted Grealish and we haven't bought him, whether the price is too high or a reflection of the current market we haven't given Poch a player who would have improved his options.
If £35m for Grealish is true, we should definitely walk away.
Glad to be of service my good fellow. ? Did you know it may all be down to FFP but new owners believe they are ok and he aint going.thanks for this brand new information
Let’s spend 100m on martial - GET IT DONE.
Then go spend 70m on kovacic - hijack the deal - GET IT DONE
NOT MY MONEY
Thanks for I’ve considered reply.
My main objection is that it sets a precedent for future windows. Clubs will understand that they can hold us to ransom and we will bend.
In effect it is not the 10m extra here that concerns me... it’s the 10m in EVERY transfer that worries me.
It’s important Liverpool are an anomaly and not singlehandedly raising transfer fees for everyone.
Édit : if we have any sense then we’ll have been working on alternatives ..
Grealish is extra special ?That's not true, just cause you bend on one or two deals, doesn't mean you bend on all. Walk away if the deal doesn't suit, but for those extra special players, pay a bit more.
