Batanero is cheaper
Thought I heard on the radio it had a £60 million release clause.
Why would Grealish agree to that?
Just a guess, but there's probably some 'finer' details in the contract that make it a bunsen burner for him.

....at the expense of having to play for Villa in the Championship, his old contract only had 18 months to run
Thank fuck.
I don't think Dacoure is inconsistent, he seems very consistent, but if we wanted him, instead of paying Watford the 40-50m they would demand, we could just go to France and buy one of the 27 midfielders that are almost identical for about 10-15m. Or we could pay the same as Dacoure would cost and buy NDombele, who's better.
Sander Berge from Genk would be a good winter option
Can you imagine. Was well out of favour and we almost had him out the back door.
Probably the stand out player in that Spanish team now.
Money talks. He's now probably on a significantly higher wage with major bonuses to keep him there. If he is that good (I wouldn't know as I don't follow Villa), then one of the Arabs or Oligarchs will pay 60m for him and everyone's happy.
Not sure we were even interested to be fair - or at least not after Perez gave us a price
I think 2016 we where very close to a loan move. Well Poch alluded to such anyway.
When his name was mentioned in the summer, I was quite excited. I had never actually seen him play but it's the sort of under the radar signing that I like us making to be honest. Having read about what those have said about him, what he could potentially bring, it'd definitely be a gamble I'd be happy for us to make.
Just saw this on twitter:
I m sure that he ll make it in a big league, remains to be seen if he makes it in a top 6 team in those leagues or not.
Needs to get better at interceptions but the rest of his game is already very well developed, can see a Dembele replacement in him

95% tackle success rate is fucking ridiculous!
He's got the right size to succeed in a top league.
Yeah he s very good and a perfect fit of skill and the position he plays in. Has all the attributes to succeed but also already suffered two major injuries at such a young age ... Like I said the only thing I think he still lacks is reading pass lines and intercepting, if he gets that right he ll be a nightmare t to play against.

we should just break the bank and go all in on Batanero right if we need a deep playing playmaker
