I know Firmino isn't you traditional number 9 but the team you have posted against the Liverpool front three can't be compared. Grealish isn't a known goalscorer, Sterling can be hot and cold and Foden is an attacking midfielder, there isn't enough goals in those three attacking players to carry them to the title this season. Two of Liverpool's front three are 20 plus goals a season men and Firmino chips in with a fair few when they are on form. Chelsea will improve, Liverpool will be back, United have strengthened and will improve. Leicester will improve as well. I hope you right and that's what he is planning, if he is planning that I doubt they will win the title.
Danny Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 That should do the trick right? Villa should go in for Benrahma, would flourish so much more under Smith playing alongside Watkins.

Danny Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 Just now, Stan said: They're linked with Leon Bailey. Probably be cheaper than Benrahma. I feel like they could pay similar to what West Ham did, but if they can get Bailey for under £30m then it's an easy option.
Devil Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 The few City fans I've spoken to about this transfer aren't 100% sure he's better than what they currently have on the books. 100 million is a lot of money for a player that you don't generally need. Foden, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Sterling, Torres, Gundegon and Bernardo Silva.. Not like they are struggling for creative players, surely 100 million should be going directly on a striker.
6666 Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 £100m is a bit crazy isn't it? Aston Villa should definitely accept that.
Cicero Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 He really is the closest thing to Eden Hazard but I feel Grealish has been vastly overhyped this past year considering he's been used as the 'stick' to beat Mount with after Maddison fell off a cliff. I hope this signing does happen as I am interested to see how he does when he isn't the star.

Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted July 31, 2021 Subscriber Posted July 31, 2021 In this market he’s worth 100 million. But I’m shocked they’ve publicly gone for him before Kane. From the outside looking in you’d say Kane would be the priority. No offence to any Villa fans but it’s about time he moved on and challenged with the worlds best. He’s in his prime years and being wasted at Villa.

He’s in his prime years and being wasted at Villa. I am shocked a Grealish bid is first. Kane's the one who's been whispering himself of moving on. And seems like the player they need more than another wing-attack-CAM type. Southgate might change his mind if Sterling & Foden find themselves behind Grealish in Man City's pecking order. On one hand, in a cold hard career mindset, it seems like the thing to do for Grealish doesn't it? But Steven Gerrard wasn't looking for Champions League football when Liverpool were finding it tough to crack the top 4. Matt Le Tissier never left Southampton. Alan Shearer won 1 title & went to Newcastle as soon as the chance came. Not to Old Trafford.
Danny Posted August 1, 2021 Posted August 1, 2021 Really isn’t shocking is it. Pep loves midfielders, Grealish will cost half the price Levy will quote up front. He’s also not looking like he’ll be crocked by 31.

I think we have him one more year and he’s going to be pissed off but he will crack on
Dave Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 Sounds like Aston Villa and Man City have agreed on a fee. I'm really surprised by the attitude of those Aston Villa fans who have said they'll boo him for leaving the best team they've had in a decade. It's a fantastic opportunity for him and he's showed admirable loyalty over the previous three seasons.
Administrator Stan Posted August 4, 2021 Administrator Posted August 4, 2021 John Percy (more reliable than Romano) has tweeted that deal could be done within 48 hrs. Outside chance he plays on Saturday.
Storts Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 Proper gutted for Villa fans. No one should want to see this.
Inverted Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 Gutting for Villa fans but this could be their chance to cement themselves as an upper-table team indefinitely.
