I’d just assumed Jack Grealish was a prat because he has hair like Matty Cash, and Matty Cash looks like he sells drugs to underage girls, but I’ve seen this video now and would be okay with him:

Opening day we'd have the remainder of August to remedy thankfully, but the nightmare scenario of relying on Forster/Austin for a prolonged period (unless Austin turns out to actually be immense) is as good as writing off the season.The GK is such a decent overlooked point. For all the talk of having good like for like back ups, if Vicario breaks his leg opening day we're looking at Fraser Forster and Brandon Austin slugging it out for 6 months of first team football.
Yes that suit is an utter cunt. Notice the players after Grealish stop for the girl. That’s leadership.That's fucking gross (not Grealish's part).......
They roll out some token semi-blind girl for all the players to ignore (yes, YOU Haaland!) and the moment Grealish engages with her the prick in the suit is like "no... no.... talk to meeeee".
Fucking wankers the lot of them.

First touch like silk, nice passing range, can see him being useful as a DLP if we let Hoj go. Concern is his size - he's very small. Defensively he could get bullied. Especially if we keep playing this formation keeping only the 6 and CBs back for the counter, you need a Declan Rice there, an animal to snuff out everything. Not this guy who'll get bodied

Thing with strikers these days is most of them aren't peaking til their mid 30s anyway, especially if they don't rely on pace (Kane, Giroud, Lewa, Benzema, etc).I appreciate it’s not Levy’s modus operandi but wouldn’t be adverse to signing an older attacker. Particularly thinking of Toney if available for £30-40m or this Guirassy if he’s available for a steal and it means we can utilise funds for elite level winger or 6. We don’t need a striker for the next 5-7 years, however great that sounds, but really one who can give us 2 decent years in the hope that one of Veliz, Parrott, Scarlett, Donley, Lankshear or even this Feeney makes the breakthrough. Or whichever teenage striking prodigy we sign in that period.
We’ll they don’t ignore her completely

An inditement on our transfers of recent times.
He did pull that trick a few times like when we brought in Llorente. Who didn't score a boatload. but he was a good calming pressence to bring on from the bench and a physical monster that could deal with opposing CBs. And the goals he did score tended to be decisive.I appreciate it’s not Levy’s modus operandi but wouldn’t be adverse to signing an older attacker.

And I think that we underestimated just how much Fernando brought in the locker room as well as a seasoned pro used to competing at the top level.
Anyone thinking we'll get permanent sales for all of these in one window is delusional. It'll be mainly loans as per usual, at least 10 of those 16 will be on the club's books come September.16 players is ridiculous but it's also about right i guess
