But he never looked convincing there did he? He had "I'm off" body language in everything I saw. He was always on his own. Its a shame. He would have actually gone with my blessing next summer if we fell short again. Its all about him and the Grealish circus was beginning to grate, and TBH any other player at any other club that move woudnt raise an eyebrow, thats football. The good times were good, and the £100m is also adequate compensation. But he is just another talent lost to another club and thats it, no legacy.

The point is that he and his agent had already agreed personal terms with city months ago. They were just waiting for the bid to be accepted.

Imagine if the court proceedings against them go ahead nicely and they get banned from all European competitions for 10 years... Would he come back then? I wouldn't have him back now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefeet1980 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 4 minutes ago, commander said: I wonder if it was us putting him on the spot? Trying to 'show the world' what we're doing - Lange sharing prospective transfers details? Demonstrating we're doing everything we can to keep him and demonstrating it's him tht wants to leave? I’m not convinced we were trying to convince him at that point, particularly if this had been stitched up for months. Were I to give him the massive benefit of the doubt, then I’d say he perhaps wanted to make sure we were able to bring in decent players to replace him - so rather than convincing him to stay, Lange’s transfer updates gave him the green light in his head. He probably also wanted to say goodbye to some of his team mates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenm Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 All the best to him. We'll do fine without him and he'll do fine without us. I'm genuinely intrigued to see if he can keep improving and if the players at City stifle him or set him free. It's a shame NSWE weren't here a few years sooner. Probably best all round in the long run. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted August 5, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2021 7 minutes ago, Aston_Villan4 said: Too be fair, Villa didn’t plaster him all over social media. It was just people staying at the hotel. I would assume the plan to practice there had been set for awhile… Although who knows, maybe they did it in London so it would be easier for him to meet the owners in person? I dunno. They left him out there in full knowledge it was going on social media daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 It's actually crazy that we've had a player on our books for the last 3 years who Man City fans are currently excited to sign. We've done well to keep him this long in fairness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably will be penalised, but not before they have stockpiled the players that they need to last them until the end of any sanction.
