We need Grealish and Kane to stay ahead of the rest.
For me the cost is irrelevant as the end justifies the means.

If you ask me it's about time the club put its hand in its pockets. Start spending fucking huge sums on the best players. Bollocks to the business model, they should just have some fun.

“£100m package” - they’re sly fuckers. They’ll include every single add-on, his first years wages, anything they can to get it to £100m. In truth, we won’t be spending £100m on him. It’ll be more like £80m.

No one has mentioned the rags have spent £90m package on Sancho - who is unproven in the prem. £100m package for a proven English Prem player doesn’t seem that unreasonable

Turns out feller is closet united fan who "would hate to see City win titles". Immediately one of my favourite players.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Does Grealish make our strongest 11? IMO not a chance, therefore, I don't understand spending an astronomical transfer fee on squad player.

I'm getting tired of Foden having to adjust his game to accommodate these players, his best performances have always come when hes playing on the left - it happened to him with Goofy for England and it happens all the fuckign time when Baldie puts in our ever under-performing gimp back in the team and Foden has to adjust.

Its BS.

Of course he does. I reckon this might see kdb as a perm number 9/false 9.

Grealish can play anywhere of the front 5 positions. We are going to be impossible to get the ball off.
derby day the scores were level,

I want and hope we sign someone great, but KDB as a false 9 can be his best position and can release our middle, the likes of Bern or Foden or even Sterling.

Neither will I.
He was heavily involved in the Irish football setup growing up and he probably got contaminated there with all the Rags and Dipper supporters around that setup.

I think he made those tweets after we’d signed Gareth Barry. Villa fans were crying for years because of that so it’s probably played a part.

Why would anyone want to take the best midfielder we have and one of the world's best players and play him out of position to accommodate Grealish. Absolutely bonkers
