Re: Grealish - glad we weren't held to 'relative' ransom. Levy said this is what we'll pay, Villa said this is what we want - they weren't the same; decent business by both and they'll both feel vindicated; nothing worthy of fuss, prejudice, mockery or even much discussion.
Well kind of, by the end...but if he'd put in an actual bid of £12-15m a month ago Jack would be yours. That was already a bargain. It was holding out for an even cheaper deal (rumoured to be £3m + Onomah) assuming we'd have no choice that scuppered it when we then got rich again.
Hey ho - if we don't go up this season there'll be a release clause so he'll be off anyway.

Am I the only Spurs fan 'cool' with no signings? Yes, ideally one or two would have been nice (exciting) and useful (possibly) but we've lost no one and would probably have ended up with a net (value wise) loss if we'd done a 2 out 2 in. I'd rather (given our other financial responsibilities) sit out this season's transfer fee silly season in the hope that fees 'settle' next; if not there'll be an even more massive shift/increase in all financial aspects of football. Lamela back to fitness and Moura (aka Pamela and Moira) now settled the squad will certainly have been freshened up.
