...that could well encourage other talented players to join "the project" that we might think we have no chance of getting (and I suspect Grealish would have been firmly in that category for most Blues a few months ago). I think he will be a good fit for us on and off the pitch with his Villa roots, and that our fans will love him.
The only issue that I might have with it right now would be if the financial undertakings restricted our ability to bring in other players in key positions, but I trust that the recruitment are fully aware of the numbers and the availability of players that would improve the squad, so let's see what happens by September 2nd.

What is it, he can do for us? Genuinely curious.
Why is not wanted at City or Villa?
When I se him at City or England he takes on defenders at the left, rarely goes past them, then tracks back and ultimately pass backwards.
With us he’ll likely be able to play the counter, which will suit him, but he’s not really fast.
I just don’t this. But I hope I’m proved wrong.
