Of course it's not close - it might have been at one point, but genuinely wouldn't be surprised if he signs a new contract now.

If he doesn’t come it’s hardly the end of the world. It’s just annoying as he seems to be the only player we are really in for.

I cant imagine there’s a buzz around the players in preseason training all excited that Jake Grealish is signing.

Daniel has priced it up and he cant afford to put grealish on a flight to america let alone the accomodation so has decided to give it another week before redoing the maths

It'd actually be pretty impressive, even by our standards, if we managed to fuck this deal up :X3:

If he stays at Villa rather than coming to us we must be doing something very wrong!

Champions league, new state of the art stadium, young team, chance to push his career etc etc

If he doesn’t want to come to us but stay at villa then he’s not a player we should be signing. No hunger if that’s the case.

I’m not that fussed about him either but it seems ridiculous we can’t close this deal by now, one way or another

I reckon we’ve fucked this one.

Probably pissed around too much again.

Was looking forward to Poch working with his raw talent and think he’d have been a great rotation option this coming season.

So why the latest round of wrist-slitting? Because he's playing a game of football?

It was heavily suggested between Monday-Wednesday we'd hear some news re Grealish. It's now Wednesday and the only thing we've heard is Bruce is staying on as manager and the owners have said they're going to back him (whatever that means). Grealish is playing another pre-season game for them, so no deal can be close. I can see it falling through.

Well to be fair we dodged a bullet with Barkley in hindsight.

A few weeks ago, I would have agreed with you, but he was brilliant for Chelsea in their pre-season game the other day apparently - maybe all the injuries are behind him and he'll get a chance with this new manager.

Wait you mean Ross Barkley isn't all the sudden total dog shit at football cause he played in that brutal Chelsea squad for like 5 games?!

Well it was suggested by one ITK wasn't it? Herc. We've had info from more than one ITK that the deal is still on, including the Villa ITK who said it's all but done.

Patiently awaiting the first post meeting itk or press release...probably from Bruce after the game.
