Obvious WUM is obvious.
1. Nothing to suggest we were even in for Grealish.
2. Sancho.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Is Harry dead to you?
100%. Was made for Old Trafford.
It's a move that no one can turn down. Double the money at the "best" club. But he'll be on the bench more than not. I wouldn't have turned it down.
Yep. Agree.
Would have totally been a Fergie signing. Does hurt a bit not seeing him in the red shirt.
I know mate. Just being greedy.
Dead to me 
I reckon he got scared off by Mrs Grealish 69.
Only because you’ve got a man crush on him.
That really is an astonishing amount of money for Grealish.
He’s an amazing player, genuinely hope he fails.
Who doesn't
Sorry, we're pretending the Fergie who didn't sign Hazard because of agent's fees would have spent 9 figures on Jack Grealish why?
I'll happily bet you any amount of money you like that the bold won't be the case.
They haven't spent 100m to strengthen their bench. Grealish will play, a lot.

So, Jason Sancho then?
Yeah, I thought so.

TBH, Grealish real value is in the range of 15 - 20 million euros...
117 million for a benchwarmer of the England national team who scored 7 goals last season is like hiting the jackpot for Aston Villa.
Obviously, Abu Dhabicester City paid this transfer fee with their insanely huge profit and are in accordance with FFP. Nothing suspicious.

You are right to be fair. Not sure why everyone is bleating on Fergie to sign him. An attempt to perhaps yes but not at that fee of 100M
Looking at the promo pics on Twitter. Comes off as another attempt for the plastic, sportswashing, murderers to try to create some kind of football club fallacy. Football is dead.
Ridiculously surprised at the signing to be honest. It's the sort of signing we used to make, which is true - but City simply have better players in that position already, and already LET a better player go in Sane. Sterling, Mahrez, de Bruyne, FODEN, Ferran Torres... maybe they're not all exactly 'like for like' but still, seems odd to me. Have always (genuinely) rated Sancho and Foden higher. But who knows, I could be made to look a mug soon.
gareth southgate’s fault for me. i think grealish realised he needed to go to a bigger club to fulfil his england ambitions.
As a young boy Jack always dreamed of playing for the sportswashing gangsters from Abu Dhabi.
Grealish was only 10 years old 15 years ago so not too sure how well he would have done for us at the time.
Impossible not to.

Agree with Elvish. Fergie would never have paid £100m for a 10 year old.
This is their modus operandi though, they just buy and buy and buy and have enough depth to actually win trophies with reserves. They've made the league cup a redundant competition for example
Pexbo gonna Pexbo
Good for City. great for Him
Top statement, that. Cuts right to the crux of the transfer and will eliminate all unhelpful speculation over the coming days and weeks. Wish more club chairmen/top brass would follow suit.
Yep. Crazy how that literal phenomenon Jadon Sancho just ignored us and went straight to City and Chelsea on a double deal.
I like Jack, but he ain't a £100m player.
Sounds a bit racist. I know you didn’t mean it. But sounds like English are strictly white people with names like Jack and authentic surnames like Grealish.
Maguire and Sancho, not English?
I would imagine we were as per the Aston villa chairman's statement but we're put off by the 100 million buy out clause / agreement.
We don't need someone who plays in Grealish position and we just signed Sancho.
Delete your account.
Jack is a fantastic player, would have been a great fit for us. Not entirely sure where he fits in at City as they have loads of top players already in his position but they have an intimidating selection of creative players there. I still think Sancho is the more exciting buy though and adds more to us than Grealish does to City.
Whenever someone says "SAF would have done X", what they really mean is "I wanted us to do X".
Because if the reaction to some of SAF's actual transfer windows were anything to go by, whatever he'd actually be doing right now would likely annoy the shit out of those same posters.
Though we haven't signed a central midfielder this window, so on that front at least we're sticking to latter day SAF tradition.

Im getting a feeling our pr departement knew about the Messi deal and let varane wait a couple of days before flying to Manchester. This deal is really getting buried by the messi news.
Come on folks, don't bite on this.
