Is Grealish Worth £100 Million?

Post by ElectroClaret » Fri May 28, 2021 6:23 pm

That's what Ian Ladyman in the Mail is saying City are prepared to pay to land him.
And they're still after Harry Kane. :shock:

If he does go, for whatever price , that may well increase the chances of them coming for McNeil

What’s any player worth?

Grealish is an outstanding player though.

Villa are pretty ordinary without him - I don't blame them for screwing a huge fee from City, they'll need it. Assuming the story's legit, of course.

He is an absolute talent no question. Great player when he tries to stay upright and play the game. Like going out with ten men when he doesn’t.

I really think this lad is the best we have seen since Gazza. With him and foden in England’s midfield, and the plethora of attacking talent we have in the same generation, even a complete and utter moron like GS can’t get it wrong.....

Like any commodity, his worth will differ depending on the views of the various potential buyers but ultimately he will be worth what someone is prepared to pay.

Not for me, but then again I dont thi k any player is "worth" 100m, nor do I think any player is "worth" 300k a week in wages.

But that might just be me.

If he does go, it should mean he improves a bit more which is great for England, and also means it weakens villa too, so that's good for Burnley.

If the other story is true about them chasing McNeil, it should also mean we can if we so wish l, try and get a bit more in terms of a fee for McNeil, as the Grealish fee will set the bar.

Its all ifs and buts.

I wouldn't mind selling 1 of the crown jewels IF it means we can bring in 3 genuine first team players.
( adding the crown jewel fee to any cash that is already available)

Why?
McNeil won't fill the role that Grealish operates in.

It’ll only weaken villa if the money isn’t reinvested or reinvested with poor recruitment, I’d actually argue if the money is spent wisely it could actually strengthen villa but that all depends on if they get a good fee & who they bring in, he’s a class player for them & will be missed for sure.

City have plenty of money, so Villa will rightly screw as much as they can, because they'll then have to replace their star player who they really miss when he's out.

Finding another player who can dictate play in their team like he does will be a challenge, Barkley has already shown he isn't the man for that.

It may result in them changing their whole style.

Great players command great prices nowadays and whatever people think of Grealish he is an outstanding and great player,he's one of the very few players I will bother to watch playing on TV .

He doesnt fill that role often for us, but he has the potential to play in that free role

If he improves under Pep like Sterling did then he will be some player.

Manchester City and before them Chelsea have screwed up the market for everyone else. If they asked for double that Manchester City could pay it. Then other clubs see it as some kind of benchmark except its not a realistic one.

I have given up whinging about the ridiculous money laid out for players. In the end it is all about how much someone is prepared to pay and the status that this money buys for the club.

Football is a multi billion pound industry, and the stars of the show are the footballers. The reason why there is so much money in football is because so many people pay to watch talented footballers. So the talented footballers should rightly be getting their fair share of the pie. And transfer fees are reflective and in proportion to this.

Pounds sterling maybe, for bottomless pockets in East Mancs.
Worth nowhere near a 100 million twix though.

I think he’s potentially a world class player

Wasn't it our neighbours down the road who actually screwed up the market for everyone else in the 90's when they were the richest club in the world, being able to outspend everyone else with Jack Walkers money?

Grealish is a talented boy, but a £100m player he is not, however if City are prepared to splash out that amount then they'll probably get their man, but once again it's crazy fees like this that will inflate the whole market.

Dwight's been valued north of 50 million on here every time he has a good game. So...... jacks a snip at double that.

Grealish is quality, 100 million is insane though. If he's worth that at 25 having achieved the square root of nothing in his career then Phil Foden at 20 must be worth 400 million, McNeil 50 million and I reckon I must be worth 3.2 having once scored a hat-trick at the Thompson Centre in 1992

If City do succeed in getting both Grealish and Kane though, (and it seems HK is determined to leave Spurs)
then that's the PL title sewed up again, I reckon.

I think Dwight is on Villa’s radar as he can give Grealish more service than the current Villa line up. If Grealish goes, the Villa spotlight may well come off Dwight. Personally, I’m most worried about Nick going to Spurs. We were extremely fortunate to have a world class keeper covering for a world class keeper. We aren’t that lucky any more. If Nick is going to go, I would have liked us to get Tom back on a free.

I actually became more confident about Nick Pope staying when I saw TH had signed for ManU; I felt that if the Board & Manager thought us likely to lose NP, then we would have re-signed Tom Heaton, not only being someone likely to have been up to the job, but a signing to appease the mob baying for blood at NP leaving.

Taking account of the current price paid for players, I would say yes.
He is strong and athletic and reminds me of Huillet and has the skill set of a footballing magician.

Manchester City can sell and buy for a low, net cost.

However, city pass, pass, pass. Grealish is me, me, me.

He would have to dramatically change his approach.

Worth it IMO. He’s a tremendous player who’d improve any team in the prem. Grealish and Foden together for England excites me massively. Just hope Southgate picks him.
