Do you think that it's odd that noone else seemed to be in for him?
Yes, but he had a horrendous injury which he seemed to come back from very well. I also think it's strange that West Ham got a free run at Felipe Anderson and several other deals elsewhere, but it's how it works sometimes. We heard that we needed homegrown players and that we couldn't sign from abroad and then suddenly Grealish and Zaha are off the menu. I'm expecting to hear after deadline day that we were sooooooooooo close to Kovacic or Milinkovic-Savic or whoever but couldn't quite get it done, and that's why we backed away from Grealish. Haven't seen the slightest hint of a 'brave' transfer policy this summer but the fat lady isn't singing just yet.
