Gutted for all the villa fans having to change their kids names by deed poll. What a mess
Tattoo removals or cover ups might also be a consideration amongst some of the more fervent villans.

Correct. And it shows it's not always about money, which is a good thing.
The cut he would have received from the signing on fee would have dwarfed any excess in wages AVFC were prepared to offer anyway, to overturn that disparity he would have to been playing professional football well over the longevity of a sauropod.

6-year deal worth £115m (in wages) = £369,231 per WEEK. The reckoning is only KDB earns more money in English footy

Another interesting stat - the last goal Grealish scored for his boyhood idols was against Burnley.

And they lost :D :D :D

if the figures are correct it's beyond mind boggling especially given the pandemic and the general state of finance in football. I guess when you are owned by a Country it doesn't matter

Yes £370k a week is a lot of money, but annually it’s a quarter of what Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson got paid in 2020 to make god-awful films.

At the very top level no, however you only have to witness the amount of clubs struggling in the EFL, even up to Championship heights, to see that the game in general isn't as cash rich as many may think.

Grealish is good, but he's not that good surely, mind you when you have the seemingly bottomless pit of cash that City have, a few hundred grand a week on wages is a pittance.

BTW I don't blame the players in all this, if these billionaire owners are prepared to splash out their fortunes, then why wouldn't the guys who produce the product, and the PL is now viewed as a product like it or not, then why shouldn't they get a large slice of the pie.

Similar with Arsenal. Didn’t they furlough lots of staff last year? Then get themselves a loan from the government to tide them over? Now haven’t they just spent £50m upfront on one player?

His statement he put out clears it all up.
He wasn't going to win the league or regularly compete in Europe at Villa.

I’m sure signing a contract worth over £100m would be a dream come true for most of us. Let alone a chance to play for one of, if not the best, club sides in the world.

Like the majority of footballers I suspect kissing the badge is more for show than any true feelings towards a particular club.

One thing i have to admit is that if he would have stayed with Ireland he would never have been a £100 million player that's for sure .

No football player EARNS those obscene amounts of money, not one. We’re talking of people that can’t, or more precise, won’t runaround for 90 minutes 3 times in 7 days.

Each to their own. But these players literally can’t walk down the street / live any sort of normal life. I wouldn’t sacrifice that for any amount of money.

I said they were one of, if not the best club sides in the world. Outside of the PL they finished as runner up in last seasons Champions League, losing to a team they finished streets ahead of in the domestic league. It is delusional to think they are not one of the best club sides in world football.

Factually they are the best team in England and the second best team in Europe. Although they finished above the best team in Europe over a 38 game league campaign.

I can’t believe (well I can actually) that someone is claiming that Man City aren’t one of the best sides in Europe.

Pep saying they've sold £60m worth of players, that's why they can afford £100m. He's right, net spend is arguably the most important yet is never mentioned.

It will be interesting to see how he goes at City.
To say he was playing in the championship for a few years not long ago.
His improvement since promotion has been really impressive, he’s always looked talented but he’s really stepped it up.

You can keep going around in circles changing your story one minute you quoted they are the best club team in the world then you say they are one of the best teams in Europe, but they've won nothing in world or European football and their European trophy cabinet is the same has Burnley's.............EMPTY, they are one of the richest clubs in the world but best :lol:

I'm surprised a team in Abu Dhabi hasn't made a bid of £100 million for a youth team player, trying to get around the FFP rules.

You can keep going around in circles changing your story one minute you quoted they are the best club team in the world then you say they are one of the best teams in Europe, but they've won nothing in world or European football and their European trophy cabinet is the same has Burnley's.............EMPTY, they are one of the richest clubs in the world but best :lol:
I said they are one of, if not the best team in the world - which only a numbnut would disagree with. Their trophy cabinet is irrelevant, I'm talking about their status right now.

I blame Blackburn back in the 1880's - ruined the game for everyone!

They clearly are one of the best teams in Europe and therefore the world. They didn’t turn up on the final day against Chelsea granted. But their cabinet is irrelevant.

They’re better than Nottingham forest. Despite two European titles. See Villa, Porto, Celtic and others too.
