FC Jude Bellingham of Birmingham retired JB's shirt when he left after making 41 senior appearances for them and their fans go on about him as if he still plays for them when he gets on for England. I am optimistic that Villa fans will avoid this undignified trap by simply immediately killing and eating Grealish as soon as they find out he's definitely leaving

Honestly, some of the shit being flung today about what a base act of treachery it would be to abandon the Villa project now, just when we’re on the cusp of qualifying for the uefa conference league (barring injury or accident of course), it’s simply amazing Should all have their YouTube accounts flagged so they can never watch this video ever againhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xId_x0WdB3I

JG languishing in the championship for three years was not ideal but the above hilarity and the succession of ridiculous worldies he scored were a tonic

I defer to the villa lads who have more knowledge about grealish than me, but I had the impression that transition dribbling is one of his greatest assets which might be less in evidence at city in comparison to villa. more likely to face packed defences in a smaller playing area, tho against that he'll also be the focus of less opposition attention and be playing with better players.in other news I always had a lowish opinion about jonjoe shelvey but I never would have suspected he was a cat killer.

really excited to see leon bailey at villa. was an explosively good dribbler at leverkusen but did seem to have a great month followed by 2 bad ones.

Confirmed. Harry Kane has NOT shown up for Tottenham training, as @skysportspaulg revealed. Been told it’s Harry Kane choice and not related to Covid test. ⚪️ #THFCKane is assuming that he has had a ‘gentlemen agreement’ with the club since one year to leave Spurs this summer.— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 2, 2021
― groovypanda, Monday, 2 August 2021 10:45 (two years ago) link
gentlemans agreement is such a laughable and desperate term
― oscar bravo, Monday, 2 August 2021 10:57 (two years ago) link
Not presumably a gentleman's agreement to leave for 2/3rds of his market price though
― lilcraigyboi (Craigo Boingo), Monday, 2 August 2021 11:14 (two years ago) link
Romero deal looks positive - Spurs not messing about over asking price and the player apparently favouring the move over Barcelona according to Fabrizio Romano.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Tuesday, 3 August 2021 09:18 (two years ago) link
Barca were never in because they cant afford what they have and spurs have been ducking around for weeks when the price was known
Levy is a small time cunt by choice and kane should be let execute him in the new stadium befote he leaves

Cristian Romero will fly to England to join Tottenham within the next 48 hours, once paperworks will be signed. Done deal after Atalanta accepted €55m bid 🇦🇷🛫 #THFCRomero pushed a lot as he only wanted Tottenham. Barça, never in the race.

Grealish to City for £100m seems to be on. Kind of hard to see them spending £250m on two players in a window.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Wednesday, 4 August 2021 10:38 (two years ago) link
Also hard to see anyone else spending £150m on Kane. I suspect he might be stuck at Spurs.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Wednesday, 4 August 2021 10:43 (two years ago) link
play to lukaku's strengths, mainly his strength and he's a powerhouse of a centre forward, he folded many centrehalfs in two before slamming home last season, at inter, Conte knew how to play him

hopefully he turns into a donkey who can't finish

Would be pretty funny if Spurs refusing to contemplate selling Kane to Chelsea led them to buy Lukaku, which in turn led to Inter buying Vlahovic, who Spurs are apparently looking at as a replacement for Kane…

Lewandowski's longevity and real falling apart has rather spoiled the market for kane imo
Funny season for him to have done this tbh, next year was always a sweeter pitch imo

Kane spends another day in Florida to effectively rule himself out of Tottenham's Premier League opener against Manchester City, who will focus their attention on him after completing Grealish transfer #thfc #mcfc https://t.co/hpuvEULPo2— Matt Law (@Matt_Law_DT) August 4, 2021

I didn’t realise until today that Kane’s agent is his brother, rather than an actual professional, which explains a huge amount.

I'm sure Kane's brother is a well-respected professional who's more than capable of handling a transfer of this magnitude

sky sports news have been surprisingly quiet about who Kane's agent is whereas if pogba was skipping training Neville, Souness et al would be wheeled out at the top of each hour to rant about the evil that is Mino raola

Depends how quickly the new-look front four gels I guess. Playing well without Grealish being on the pitch is kind of uncharted territory for us in the last, ooh, five years

If paul pogba had skipped training to force a move i doubt thered be an inch or a second in british sports media to talk about his agent tbh

Leeds were trash tonight against Ajax, beaten 4-0, could see a difficult 2nd season for them, giving up chances defensively and not able to string a pass together, in the final third. Missing Phillips in the centre but full strength otherwise, a humbling night in amsterdam

Lewis O'Brien to Leeds is looking on even though their first offer has been knocked back. His agent is Kevin Sharp who was one of the worst players I've ever seen in the Town backline, now he's also got Kalvin Phillips on his roster - fucking wanker will be coining it in. Reports that he's on the last year of his contract are inaccurate, the club have the option to extend by another year so he won't go cheap. Well he will go cheap in the 10m+ sense.

Per this @TelegraphDucker story on the Grealish deal, he has signed a 6-year deal worth £115m (in wages), which, at £369,231 per WEEK, would make him the highest paid footballer in the history of English football.
