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.
Is Grealish not an Irish name?

Proof that Man Utd is becoming more and more irrelevant with each passing transfer window. Top English players don't want to join anymore. City or Chelsea it is.
Sancho - top quality and english
Slabhead - top quality and english
Shaw - top quality and english
Rashy - top quality oh yeah, english

Should I go on?

Find this quite a strange video for him to come out and state candidly the fee and release clause etc.

Very interesting to learn how renewals and the inner workings of football transfers and contracts work. Great PR from Villa's board. Jack should be applauded by the Villa fans for his service and got them such an eye-watering fee.

Where exactly does he fit in ?

We refreshing actually, football is so secretive. Many details are hardly ever shared we have to guess based on what journos say.

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
Systematically stripping the soul out of football, just for the sake of making a corrupt, vile, murderous state look better to the rest of the world. The plastic cvnts that lap it up enable this.

I think it is true that with Fergie he could have signed here. He just wouldn't have renewed his contract so he becomes more affordable for a club he really likes.

Everyone will get less minutes, some more than others.

Ahead of Silva and Mahrez and it'll probably see their numbers go down, right? Foden will probably have the same minutes as last season. There was also talk of Silva leaving I believe? I thought he was pretty crap whenever I saw him last year and it's probably what Pep meant about refreshing their team.

As a newbie, don't make your wumming too obvious. A little bit of guile is always appreciated on here.

He'll be 26 next month. Given his predilection for alcohol, it wouldn't surprise me if his longevity goes the same way as Rooney and Gazza. Could be finished in 3 more seasons.

Sterling, Mahrez and Silva are reportedly available for purchase. And you left out Gundogan, whose gametime Grealish will reportedly also eat into.

All things considered this is the best move for him career-wise and financial-wise.

25 Years of age and there was no guarantee United would go for him next year. Now his future and his family's are guaranteed with the 5 years contract with City.

Wish we got him, but this is life.
United will challenge City this season and the upcoming seasons. We're finally going forward.

They've been exposed so clearly in the last 18 months that city fans arguments aren't even embarrassing anymore, they're just sad.

Seems B.Silva will be let go, and Grealish to compete with the those who play LW & AM

This sucks big time. And really hurts me, here is a player that really did love us and was so close to signing for us but didn't for whatever reason last year.

This year, I think he had no choice career wise, as I really don't think we even bothered to go back for him this summer because of the contract he signed with Villa. There was really only 1 choice, as staying at Villa wasn't a choice for a player like this.

Funny transfer this one. £100m and yet you can easily see him getting benched around 40% of the games. 100 million quid for a squad player. Shambles of a club.

Good player. Mental fee.

Do you think we’ll get numerous articles comparing PL clubs’ spending since OGS came in, like we got after signing Varane?

Meh. Not too bothered. We signed the better player, talent and prospect in Sancho who happens to be 5 years younger. Grealish is also a bit of an idiot as shown by his covid lockdown drunk driving mishap. Also his hair is fecking awful, really needs a trim. Looks like Pidgeotto ffs.

Quality player sure but I don't really think he makes their starting 11 better, but it does give them a good succession plan to ease out KdB whenever that happens.

Yup. And it sucks that City continue to have an incredible squad - so hard to compete against that

Yep. His long term contract with Villa just killed our hopes of ever signing him.
