It's nearly £30m more, for an older player, who's favoured positions we're already stacked in.
We've signed the players we needed so far, no point in getting upset when our rivals splash out as well.
Jack Grealish | Man City
- Thread starter RDCR07
- Start date

Feel the same.
There's no way DDG makes more than KDB. They're at least on par I'd imagine. I'm pretty sure City find a way of paying their players more without declaring it officially.
KDB wouldn't have renewed last year without being the best paid player in the league. He could have walked and gone anywhere and demanded whatever he wanted.
City have looked after him.
His head was definitely turned after he promised it wouldn't.They're going for the love island fanbase
I wonder how they got up to that number, I mean he'd probably sign for them even if they gave him 150k p/w, it's not like he had an alternative.
Anyway massive massive signing for them, and I think he'll fit in quite well with Pep's system and their playing style.
I'm kinda sad about that though

Not sure what KDB is on but DDG is on £375k a week.
It's simple....
Pep or money....

I don’t get this transfer. My first though was that he is the next David Silva for City. But Gundogan is already occupying the Spanish’ role. Grealish is neither a winger, nor forward. He is a playmaker. Where will he play?
100% yes. Ferguson wouldn't have rested until he got his man. Grealish was born to play for United.
Maybe this is best for the player, though. Guardiola is the best mentor he could hope for in a footballing world post-Ferguson.
Or a newbie who needs to be shown the door.
SAF wouldnt have got him if he wasnt our main target, which Sancho has been for 2 years. When did we ever sign 2 huge signings where every premier league team would have wanted both players for huge fees? We would have 1 big target. We chose Sancho
Good player but £100 million? Jesus. You can get 2 or 3 players for that money and strengthen the squad. It’ll only be worth it if they win the Champions League next season, although there’s never been a better time to do it with so many of the elite crumbling.
Didn’t understand the demand he start for England, completely bemused by this.
He belongs at Spurs.
He belongs at Spurs.
"City will never pay 100 million for a single player"
'City will never pay huge money for a single player, they will continue spending mid-tier money"
"City will never pay insane wages"
"Pep or Money"
Anyways it's a good signing as long as money is not a concern, which for City it isn't.

I was honestly more terrified when they signed Bernardo Silva
De gea is 350k/week.
Because previously every and all English player signed exclusively only for Manchester united.
He is a phenomenon, barring injuries every one will see exactly why city have paid so much for him. He is going to take the absolute piss. I really wished he came to United.
I’ve been watching him for 7-8 years and he is just exquisite.
He has no problem breaking any defensive line, for me, he’s the most entertaining player in world football. I’ve seen people say he is better than Bruno and although Bruno is brilliant for us it’s hard to disagree but that comparison and argument will be clearer come the end of this season.

He is going to be great player for City, I am very much convinced about this.
Wonder who would be sacrificed to make place for him in the starting line up though. Foden?

What kind of reception will he get at the eventual City at Villa game?
Idiots will idiot.
Grealish and Sterling on the City wings. Both Utd fans.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Some people really do think he's Ronaldinho. 
We could never sign him and Sancho. I think we made the correct choice regardless of the hypthetical of what SAF would have done
Even a year back I would have said 100 million is a joke fee. I still wouldn't have us pay it if he was offered to us.
Even with the hypothetical SAF would choose Sancho
How can you sign a player for 100 million, but the marketing is so...underwhelming?
The video is so lazy.

Everything you said is my sentiments exactly.
I would have loved to clear our squad of the players that are not up to it or the ones who are not happy being here and gladly gone for Grealish and Kane. It would have made our squad capable of challenging for the title at least. But it's the usual crap, why get rid of 12 players, why would we spend so much. We need to spend to catch up to City that's why!
They are stacked in those positions. Grealish to play as a 8 ?
Either left wing or the 8 (David Silva role). I think the latter is more likely given Grealish puts in a shift (I think) and City have so many players on the left
Gutted I have to hate him now. Prixk.
Is it really different to the likes of Silva or Kante? Great players and excellent to watch too. Or KDB too, fanatastic player who I don't really dislike.
In fact I don't genuinely dislike many players currently at City. They're just part of that hollow farcade of a football club.
Nah, he's a drink driver too, remember? He's easier to dislike. No one can hate Kante.
But in all seriousness, he is a super player and I'm interested to see how well he translates to City. I don't see him hitting £100m heights, but imagine he'll get an easier ride than Pogba does, for example.
He's pretty much one of my favorite players. It's been coming for a while but it's absolutely gutting to see him go to City. Think he'll absolutely tear it up there which will be a fecking shame because regardless of stats and end product, he's one of those players that make the game entertaining and gets fans off their seat. Would have been adored at OT.
Anyway, he's gone to City now so feck him. Hope he doesn't adapt to City and goes to shit

Luckily for him he'll be in a much better team and under a top manager who will fit him in well.
His hype started because Maddison's form fell off a cliff and people needed a new stick to Mount with.
Look at his hair and socks. It's not that hard. This thread makes it even easier.
