This has a lot of ”The one that got away”-feeling.

However If we’re going to crush over wage ceiling I’d rather we do it for Grealish than Sané.

Checks notes -

Turned down Ireland after playing 6 games for the U21 team
Turned us down in 2018 when Villa failed in their promotion bid.

Took City's petro-dollars.

It's a definite NO from me.

Feels like this is a couple of years too late for us and Jack.

He'd be better off going abroad.

Yea Grealish is a brilliant bloke makes time for everyone, great with the kids at the games.

A really good player as well just doesn't suit peps tactics.

He didn’t turn us down we just didn’t pay up. He literally waved goodbye to the fans.

Someone who's better at attaching videos can probably post it but at the super cup all the City players ignored a blind girl collecting their medals and Grealish made a special effort to approach her, even told the bloke to wait while he was doing it.

Ever since then I've thought he's a decent bloke.

Errrr he didn’t turn us down

Levy thought Villa were broke and continued to haggle over an agreed c £20m fee

then Villa got taken over and the new owners told him to do one

Would've taken him a few years ago but I think it's too late now. He's had lumps kicked out of him and doesn't exactly hvae the best lifestyle off the pitch.

Effectively ended the Poch era. That was the summer of no transfers and when we were still the hot destination for all the top young English guys. There is a world where that deal gets done for 20M and the whole history of the club is different with that type of player added to the core of what we had.

His sister’s disabled and he’s talked about it a few times. Come across as a decent bloke and I’d take anyone who can run with the ball!

5 years too late unfortunately. Would be a pointless short term appointment.
