What do my fellow Evertonians think about getting Grealish for 5-10 million if City would prefer to cash in now rather than him leave on a free good value or not? ??
{Ed025's Note - good value i would say TB, but of course his wages would have to reflect that he is not Billy big time anymore mate..

Not getting him for that. More probable that would be a loan fee.

Think a lower wage with larger bonuses would be good for us, but that's probably not in Grealish's plans, given he's towards the end of his career and could be an injury liability. Love the guy's attitude, but it's a big ask for him to commit to us when there's big final cheques out there.

Obviously, Jack is a very, very wealthy young man. He has won lots of major trophies, played for his country & is generally liked in the football world.
Does he want to stay & be a bit part player at City?
Does he want to go to Saudi or the US whilst still Premier League standard?
Maybe, just maybe, he now wants to be loved & appreciated by a club & set of supporters.
He seemed extremely happy last season, & so maybe he would happily take less to stay?

I agree Ed, we are not in the position to offer stupid wages to any player but we certainly shouldn't be doing it for a player who is, if everyone is honest, beyond his peak.
That isn't to say I wouldn't sign him. I like Grealish and he definitely brings more eyes to Everton football wise, which can only be a good thing whilst he is with us.
I think he is a very intelligent footballer and his most impressive attributes are his first touch and his ability to win fouls. He has never been a pacey and powerful athlete and always relied on his brain and agility.
I did think that last season after his good start, he was worked out pretty quickly, through no fault of his own. The same on the opposite flanks. Teams know they can just double up on our wingers because our fullbacks offer sweet fa.
Grealish has had some lengthy injuries in the last few seasons and his now in his 30's. Whilst I appreciate that players are much fitter, healthier, generally better looked after in todays game, the body still regresses after a certain age and Jack doesn't typically live the cleanest lifestyles.
If we get him for that fee, it represents brilliant value, especially in this market. However, as Ed said correctly, it all depends on his wages.
I think if we can get him in for 150k a week max, we should bring him in. Anything more, I would look elsewhere.
It is no secret how much he enjoys the club, so if he really does, he will realise that his time at City is done and he won't be starting every week, ahead of the likes of Doku and Semenyo. He won't have to worry about that for us, as providing he keeps fit, Moyes will play him every week.
{Ed025's Note - i was thinking £100k max BN but maybe im being unrealistic, the fee should not be a big deal really mate but i agree with you that his injury record and lifestyle history still makes him a bit of a risk..

Grealish is a signing I'd like, and it's proven from his loan. But the price will need to reflect his age and lifestyle. He's 31 and a party boy. Both of those will come with problems.
His quality, though, is not in question.
