Herc saying it's bollocks in the itk thread. The £9m bid that is.

I don't know why it has to be in the ITK thread, I don't think anyone was taking it as genuine - I was only posting it for the quality reply to it on their forum.

We’ve obviously had talks with them for most of the summer.
For a Championship player.??
We’ve only put in an official bid today. Which will get rejected. Truly laughable.

Yeah. Unbelievable.

I am ashamed that the chairman of my club is using the transfer window to do transfers

Well Golly Gee! if the scouting team thinks he's worth over £30m then he must be!

I can still support the player (if we sign him) and think he's not great.

I wouldn't. If he is not great then get him the fuck out!

Anyone else think these bids etc are just the 'end-game' and pretty much for show? Looks better for Villa if they reject a bid or two first.

So much of deals seems to be agreed in advance now it makes me wonder.

Talksport were talking about a medical tomorrow since first thing this morning. Rejected bid leaks tonight. What chance a fresh bid is accepted in the morning and Jacky boy is having the medical after all?

Hasn't been rejected that is speculation as far as i'm aware.

That was my first thought. Villa can maintain some sort of “we didn’t just accept the first bid that came in, we tried as hard as we could to keep him” look about them.

Seems you are right. I thought I read it but it was just John Percy's tweet (he's very reliable but could have been opinion here). Interesting to see how it pans out in the morning. £25m sounds about right all things considered.

My guess is rejected first thing and then a fee gets agreed around lunch time.

When this is over, we need to have a serious look at ourselves.

We have run up a player thread to 283 284 pages! For a Championship-level player....

Ain't us bro. This is brought about desperation due to the club's inactivity in the transfer market.

Hope he signs, he has good tekkers and can get better. Training with Steve Bruce and Villa or Poch and Eriksen et al he can improve. Plenty have under Poch!!

I'm looking forward to us signing him, but i do think he should of come in with a few other players and not as our main signing. Hopefully he takes it in his stride and doesn't bow to pressure.

Every other club makes transfers look easy, yet we always hear how difficult it is, hard times, agents playing games - more of the spin. Like that we’ll do signings early, have a special relationship with Madrid blah blah blah.
Make a championship player, is supposed to now be the second coming to take us to winning things - i’m Always positive, but this is a joke.... we haven’t won anything in years, every single team has strengthened, and now we experience ever to win with the same squad starting the season buggered from the World Cup... and Grealish is supposed to be the shining light on that?

Geez I hope I’m wrong!

I think at the end of last season, most would have agreed that the priority for us was someone who can take the pressure off of Eriksen in the creative department.
Grealish could do that, so whilst it might not be the marquee signing we all hoped for when there were talks of £150M, Grealish does fall into line with the profile of players that have gone on to be successful at Spurs.
Young, with potential, and off of the big boys radar.
Just wonder what percentage of this is levy signing vs Poch signing.
