Jack Grealish

[Cozzie]

I bet loads on here will be "jacking" off if he signs. LOLZ.

[UnsyisaRhino]

They call him jackjack

Don't. If you say it 3 times in a row he'll appear wearing your mum's dressing gown.

[Trowel]

[Cozzie]

Transforms us.

Hopefully get him in before Leeds.

[sam of the south]

Isn’t he the tribal football guy?

What itk’s do we trust these days?

Even McNulty (the fuck did I do?) seems to miss a few times recently.

Glad if this is what we want we’re pushing to get it done this week.

Can’t leave everything until the end of the window.

I expected we would have been in for Grealish when we were safe last season. An easy option we would target on a loan deal as an upgrade.

He's not going to any other top 7 club, doesn't want to move south. Everton are looking to make the move back into the second 'tier' of clubs in the PL.

A move that would make sense.

Im going to cry with happiness

You can at 250 grand a week!

Said it too many times now but I think we could inflict some real misery on the rest of the league with Grealish and Ndiaye. Couple of horrible players to dispossess.

It’s not a best practice for building a team, you can’t chuck money away like this every summer and expect good long-term outcomes. But you can definitely do it once to give an exhausted fanbase a chance to appreciate a player who is from another planet in terms of quality, especially when that player isn’t a diva and works hard for the team.

If we turn around after this and throw a whole bunch of money at someone like McGinn, it might be time to feel some serious concern about the approach because that’s a lot of dead money spent. But most of the other rumors swirling around are young talents (Dibling, Lopy) and cheap squad fillers (Justin).

I would also say forget Brighton and Brentford as comps. Those owners are from the betting world and are quantitative by nature. I expect our way forward is more like Villa, buying up all the best young players we can get our hands on and occasionally augmenting with older quality.

Another footnote. With the exception of Aznou, who is mostly too young to say, the players we’ve added have been legitimately good statistically in recent seasons. This already puts them in contrast to players like Sigurdsson, who profiled as deeply mediocre at everything an attacking kid does besides free kicks and then delivered on that promise.

It would be a real pain, for opposition defences but I hope they won't be standing on each other's toes. KDH also seems to operate in the left half space toonso it could get crowded in there.

It would be good to have FB's that can bomb on a give us width if we're going all in on back-to-goal-and-spin-the-defender-low-sock-ballers. Myko and JOB are not that

[dazfrancis]

Also if we get this done someone needs to make a chant to the tune or Jackie Down The Line and just have the place bouncing

[Gary1878]

Absolutely all for this deal and I think it suits all parties. It will be expensive but if you want quality, you need to pay for it.

However, this does not sort out issue on the right wing. It’s going to leave us with a very good left hand side and a very poor right hand side as it stands going into the Leeds game.

It’s worth reiterating that although JOB has done an admirable job at RB, he is a CB covering. How we haven’t addressed the RB position given that Patterson doesn’t seem to be good enough and Coleman almost has his bus pass, is beyond me.

All teams will do is double up on their right hand side, knowing that there is no threat down their left flank. We need to get a move on and hopefully Dibling is the one.

[Blues Mahoney]

Absolute baller.

Get him in asap, please

It's only nailed on if it's Bobble or Ornstein these days. McNulty and the BBC in general are always late to the party as they need everything confirmed via separate sources before they take the plunge, and Fabrizio has disappeared up the arse of agents so can't really be trusted.

But the transfer window would be pretty dull if we played it safe and ignored all gossip!

Bobble seems to have slipped lately.

How about Joyce?
