Everton have reached an agreement with Manchester City for Jack Grealish on a season-long loan.<\/p>\n
Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano announced the development<\/a> with his signature \u201chere we go\u201d catchphrase on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cLoan deal agreed with Man City and medical booked later today. Grealish said yes to the Everton project and he\u2019s now set to complete his move in next 24 hours,\u201d Romano tweeted.<\/p>\n David Ornstein of The Athletic also confirmed the development<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cEverton have agreed a deal to take Jack Grealish on loan from Manchester City. The deal still needs to be finalised but a medical is being scheduled today for the England international,\u201d stated the report.<\/p>\n Ornstein further reported that the deal includes an option to buy the player for a fee in the region of \u00a350milllion next summer.<\/p>\n Grealish fell out of favour with manager Pep Guardiola at Etihad Stadium. He made only 16 starts across all competitions last season and just seven in the Premier League. The 29-year-old was also left out of Manchester City\u2019s squad for the FIFA Club World Cup.<\/p>\n Since signing for \u00a3100million from Aston Villa, Grealish<\/a> has made 157 appearances for City, scoring 17 goals and providing 23 assists.<\/p>\n He famously helped the side achieve a treble in the 2023-24 season.<\/p>\n \t\u00a0<\/p>\n Reader Comments (114)<\/p>\n Note: the following content is not moderated or vetted by the site owners at the time of submission.

Disclaimer<\/a> ()<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tMichael Bennet \n Win win for us I rekon…if he plays well he will get back in the England team, if not he’s back at city next year.. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tRobert Hesketh \n Not convinced, did nothing for City when he played. Obvious why Pep wants rid. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tMichael Bennet \n Apparently he does like a night out <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tIan Pilkington \n Fantastic news, I am confident that this will be a master stroke. <\/p>\n \t\t\tLiam Mogan \n Just feels like another one past his prime to me. Hope I’m wrong but have a bad feeling about this. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tDavid Morgan \n Brilliant signing, instantly makes us better. Cant wait to watch Everton now with the new look attack taking shape. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tLee Courtliff I was torn on this, probably leaning more towards No than Yes. But, with the new season nearly upon us and our lack of genuine creativity, I’m starting to dream than we could end up with the Grealish that I loved watching at Villa.<\/p>\n You never know in football. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tMichael Bennet \n Simon jordan rekons its a bad movie for both parties…and alot of people agree with him…he should have been the next Gazza, but them bastards across the park seams to have found one.. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tBobby Mallon \n Robert @2 that’s nonsense. He won everything with city and shows how poor they became when he was left out of that team for long periods. Well done Everton <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tAnthony Dwyer \n Let’s hope he’s got some fire left in him and he wants to do well. <\/p>\n \t\t\tRyan Holroyd \n Brilliant signing. He won\u0092t be having 10 men behind the ball at Everton like he faced at Man City. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tLiam Mogan \n If Simon Jordan reckons it’s a bad move, then it’ll probably turn out ok. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tRyan Holroyd \n Option to buy for ~ 50m next summer \ud83d\udc40 <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tAndy Kay \n Great news, brilliant player, hopefully played as a number 10. All those knocking his ” partying” it didn’t stop Big Dunc , Howard Kendall, and Reidy being regarded as legends at Everton. Wins the treble,and goes out on the piss for a few days , imagine what you’d do in his position? Good luck to the lad, if you bring silverware to the HD, He can stay out for a month as far as I’m concerned. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tChristine Foster \n A player with a point to prove, an axe to grind, he will be determined to prove Pep and Simon Jordon wrong and get back in the England team. The one area I am still really concerned about is the striker. We have 3 and not one looks as though they are ready to take the season apart. Now, if we can get that Southampton bloke it and the one from Villa, that will make things really interesting! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tLiam Mogan \n Duncan Ferguson admits the drinking ruined his career? <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tMartin Reppion \n I was one of those who was optimistic when we got what appeared to be a no brainer deal for Dele Alli. <\/p>\n \t\t\tTom Bowers Any class addition is welcome and Jack is.<\/p>\n He can carry the ball, turn defenders and get in crosses as well as score goals. Surely Everton will get big benefits from his inputs. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tKevin Naylor \n Better than anything we currently have (even at his current level). If it doesnt work he goes back, if it does then we are quids in. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tMal van Schaick Give him a chance, at his best he is a very good player and beats defenders, crosses and score goals. <\/p>\n However, I hope that Everton have a send back clause in the contract, should he fall off the wagon. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tRobert Hesketh \n Bobby @9. He won everything with City 2 years ago. Why was he left out so often last season when City were playing so badly? When he did play, he contributed nothing. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tRyan Holroyd \n Interesting that McAtee is going to Forest for around 20m <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tJohn Graham \n Hopefully he is coming here with a grudge, anger and to prove people wrong. <\/p>\n \t\t\tLee Courtliff \n McAtee for \u00a320M sounds like a steal by todays standards. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tJack Convery If he doesn’t do the bizz with us, then the WC dream is gone forever. I believe he’s become a father now, maybe that will see a more mature Jack Grealish coming to EFC. I hope so for us and him. Now get Dibling, a RB and LB cover for Myko. Get Brownhill on a free to help the midfield when the Afcon starts December.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tDave Abrahams \n Ryan (22) That\u0092s the signing I wanted Everton to do. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tJake FitzGerald \n Simon Jordan nearly got me divorced. After far too many drinks I told the wife she looked like him – the reverse beer goggles effect. She had to google him. Not a happy woman. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tJames Marshall Negativity blah blah negativity blah blah blah..<\/p>\n This is excellent news!<\/p>\n A world class \u00a3100m player at Everton. Yes fucking please! \ud83d\ude0e <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tRob Hooton \n Looking forward to seeing him playing for Everton, keeping everything crossed that we get a Grealish that is hungry to prove the doubters wrong and that this move is a success! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tRobert Hesketh \n By the way, this goes for England as well, why was he not taken to Euro 24? <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tScott Hamilton \n Love it when a quality player has a point to prove. Hope he makes that point emphatically! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tDave Abrahams \n James (28) I think fans who are not happy about this signing are being more realistic about this signing than negative\u2014- we doubt he is the player he was when he cost \u00a3100M \u2014 time will tell. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tShaun Parker \n Hats off to the club. <\/p>\n \t\t\tRyan Holroyd \n Me too Dave @26 <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tRyan Holroyd \n Grealish will wear number 18 apparently? <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tSi Pulford \n Robert he won the league three times in his first four seasons and the treble. Played over 150 games in the best team in the league. Not sure he didn\u0092t trust him. He\u0092s bombed him out now, yes. But Pep has a history of doing that. Grealish is instantly our best player. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tKunal Desai \n Grealish improves us instantly. One year loan deal is sensible. Hope he can stay fit. Now for a right winger. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tJames Marshall Dave @32<\/p>\n It’s still negative and miserable. People like to suck all the joy out of things these days in order to make a point. It’s one of the main reasons why I don’t have social media.<\/p>\n Grealish was treated poorly at City. He’ll be welcomed at Everton and hopefully played in the middle where he’s most effective. I’m delighted with this! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tJeff Spiers \n Jake, how are you still here!! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tSi Pulford \n Robert (30) why didn\u0092t Branthwaite go? <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tSteve Brown \n When he signs, he is instantly the best player at the club. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tErnie Baywood He’s probably the best player we could have possibly got. <\/p>\n That’s good news. Fans of very few clubs ever get to say that.<\/p>\n We don’t really know what it’s costing per week, but it’s fairly low risk. Sky reporting a 50M option – but at 30 he’d have to have become indispensable for that to be worthwhile. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tAnthony Dwyer \n Silvinho \u00a343m to spurs, only on 40k per week, can’t we jump on that one and treble his wages, get Jack to help with that one, Brazilian 21 year old winger on the right instead of Dibling, only have to think back to what he done at Girona when he helped get th Champions league footy at 19. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tRyan Holroyd \n As if Silvinho will only be on 40k a week. Utter nonsense <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tScott Hamilton \n Apparently we\u0092ve got a \u00a350m option to buy Grealish if things work out. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tRaymond Fox \n We will be a better team with him in it, that’s good enough for me. <\/p>\n \t\t\tAndy Crooks \n Made my day!!!! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tRobert Hesketh \n Si @40. Oh come on Si, Grealish played about 40 times for England, before Southgate realised, like Pep, that he was’nt bringing it anymore. Branthwaite played 1 (as a substitute) <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tJohn Williams \n Grealish will improve the team, he will create chances, but even more, he will win loads of free kicks in and around the box, that will create chances. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tErnie Baywood I reckon there’s a striker out there looking at the midfielders and creative players starting to form… and wondering if he made the right decision.<\/p>\n I’m not convinced we’ve actually replaced him either. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tStu Gore Grealish is great. Makes the team and squad better. Bit surprised at the timing as I thought this would be an end of the window thing if it happened. <\/p>\n Still need 2 wingers and a striker and these feel like more of a priority. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tSam Hoare Good stuff. I expect it to be an exciting year with Grealish but no more. Either he doesn\u0092t live up to expectation in which case his fee and wages are not worth it. Or he does well and has a plethora of elite clubs after him next summer. Eitger way I think that option fee is probably for the benefits of Man City\u0092s ledgers; no sane club outside Saudi is paying \u00a350m for a 31 year old next summer.<\/p>\n In other good news Alan Myers says we\u0092re interested in Fatawu. I was saying the other day I think he\u0092d be an excellent alternative to Dibling at half the price. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tAnthony Dwyer \n Ryan @44 <\/p>\n \t\t\tAnthony Dwyer \n I’d imagine Armstrong will be loaned out now also, doesn’t look like there will be many games for him now, especially if we sign another (Douglas luis or Dibling). <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tChris James If it comes off I think this would be huge. Doubly so if we still have transfer powder dry. Grealish is a quality player in prime years and has experience of winning, a bit like KDH, who looked class at the weekend by the way.<\/p>\n If he just wanted the cash he could\u0092ve sat in City reserves surely? And Moyes wouldn\u0092t have agreed the move if he didn\u0092t think there was a real chance to get him back to his best. It\u0092s also the sort of name that could encourage others.<\/p>\n Extra creativity to midfield added, now we need a pacy right winger and maybe a striker who actually scores\u2026<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tDave Roberts I’m surprised that so many are interested in what Simon Jordan has to say on the matter. The knob who nearly killed off Crystal Palace, the self proclaimed very rich man with no money and whose shacking up with a certain Michelle Dewberry, that well known academic ( or is it epidemic?) should immediately disqualify him from eliciting or even holding, an opinion about anything.<\/p>\n Grealish is a great player, ruined by a manager trying to force him into a role his talent does not lend him to. There is no guarantee the move will work out, there never is, but given Grealishs’ attributes I am very confident it will. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tShaun Robinson \n Everyone is saying \u201c he\u0092ll win loads of free kicks around the box \u201c. Will he still get the decisions now he\u0092s playing for us though? <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tRyan Holroyd And I\u0092m saying that\u0092s wrong Anthony Dwyer.<\/p>\n So just for clarification, in case you don\u0092t understand SAVINHO will be on more than 40k a week, 2m a year <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tMartin Berry \n Jack will be played and used differently from City, where they passed it to death and allowed the opposition to have 11 players behind the ball. <\/p>\n \t\t\tAnthony Dwyer \n Ryan lad, ffs just try looking before telling me I’m wrong, cos everything I can check on says he’s on 40k per week, but it seems you are one of them lads who know everything so don’t need to check facts. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tBenjamin Dyke \n Congrats to Moyes – he’s certainly bringing together a better squad albeit more slowly than he would have liked. Also feels like the new owners and recruitment team are not throwing money around like confetti and buying a lot of players with no clear idea or vision behind it. Keep ’em coming! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tJohn Gall \n Brings to mind Ginola, Gascoigne, Mark Hughes, Eto’o, Rodriguez – great players well past their best. Nice to finally see a great player in an Everton shirt of course, but when were we last able to sign a player at the cusp of becoming a great player, at the peak of their powers? Baines and Cahill maybe, before that I’d say Lineker and Cottee. But an overweight pisshead, aimlessly dribbling across the pitch, to no effect, before leaving in a few months ? A mistake I think. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tRyan Holroyd I\u0092m not right about everything and don\u0092t claim to be. <\/p>\n I can tell you no chance is a Brazilian international, at Man City is only is on 2m a year. <\/p>\n If I\u0092m wrong I\u0092ll hold my hands up and apologise. <\/p>\n Where\u0092s your source?<\/p>\n And please don\u0092t quote capology (or whatever it\u0092s called) at me <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tChris Leyland John Gall – Kanchelskis was a signing of a class player still at his peak. Lukaku was an example of a player signed on the cusp. <\/p>\n I think comparisons to Ginola, Hughes and Gazza for Grealish are wide of the mark but only time will tell. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tJake FitzGerald \n John #62 one thing Grealish is not is overweight. He\u0092s been training hard all summer, he\u0092s going to slot in right away and make it his own. He\u0092s definitely no Gascoigne, nor a Ginola. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tLiam Mogan Simon Jordan has swallowed a thesaurus, so he must know what he is on about. And he has a sunbed tan and blonde highlights. <\/p>\n My thinking is that Grealish would be a mistake, like John 62. But if Simon Jordan says that also, I’ll probably change my mind.<\/p>\n Fancy a 3 day bender, Jack, to celebrate? We can start in Smokey Mo’s. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tJames Marshall All you naysayers, I truly hope, and believe he will ram your words down your throats.<\/p>\n Comparisons to Gazza et al are laughable, they really are.<\/p>\n Overweight? He really isn’t. A drunk? I don’t believe that either.<\/p>\n I guess you’ll sit there in silence if and when he scores a goal, sets one up or beats a man. What a crock. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tAnthony Dwyer Ryan I can only quote capology, sportstrac, salary sports, aiscore, and transfer market as they are the only sources available to the general public, all of them have him on \u00a32m a year. Don’t think he’s had a new deal yet since signing for city. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tJim Harrison To be fair, Moyes has some history with piss head players. <\/p>\n Gibson, VDM, Drenthe\u2026..<\/p>\n Hope this is the one that proves the exception to the rule!! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tLiam Mogan I truly hope he does too, James 67. <\/p>\n Doesn’t mean I think it’s the right move. I’d be made up if I’m wrong though and he lights up the Dock. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tJames Marshall You build a flash new stadium, you need flash new players yet some people want ‘young players with sell on value’ and ‘players for the future’.<\/p>\n No, the future is the here and now. Change the culture, change the view of Everton and do it immediately.<\/p>\n You realise what a joke we’re seen as from the outside by many don’t you? Anyone under about 35 only knows us as a tin pot operation playing in a shitty old wooden stadium.<\/p>\n Well here’s to a brave new world. One I’ve been carping on about for years. Finally.<\/p>\n Now I just hope we drop those god awful old songs on match days that make me cringe. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tAnthony Dwyer \n Anyways Ryan, we should be talking about Ndiaye playing alongside Grealish and KDH instead of Doucour\u00e9 and Harrison, as much as I’d love us to get another one or two in today is a good day, our 11 has 100% been strengthened. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tPaul Hewitt \n Grealish is not a bloody piss head. So he likes a drink, don’t we all. Does that make us all piss heads then.? <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tSi Pulford \n Robert 48 so it took Southgate over 40 internationals to realise he doesn\u0092t trust him? Your argument is essentially. Some of the best coaches in the world picked him loads of times. I\u0092ll take that all day. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tRyan Holroyd I don\u0092t believe any of those sites Anthony. <\/p>\n They (capology) had Everton wage bill at 65m for season 24\/25 which is total rubbish. <\/p>\n How do we know this? Well the official Everton accounts say the wage bill is 156 million <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tJonathan Oppenheimer I was a firm no on this when it was being thrown about recently, just worried about the downsides to it and at what cost, but I\u0092m coming around now that it\u0092s actually happening. <\/p>\n We clearly need creativity in this team, we need goals, and we need excitement. Will any of it happen? Hell if I know. But adding Grealish to KDH, some unknown RW with pace \u2014 because we have no choice but to take a chance on someone out wide \u2014 plus an unknown right back. That starting XI might actually get us excited for the first time in a long time. <\/p>\n It leaves McNeil and Alcaraz on the bench when everyone is healthy, but that\u0092s just fine, even if both players are likable and have done some good things. Everyone calling for another striker, I don\u0092t see it happening. Beto and Barry are going to have to find a way to put away chances that will now be more available. <\/p>\n UTFT! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tKevin Molloy \n rawk have already issued detailed analysis of ways in which Grealish could be utilised <\/p>\n \t\t\tErnie Baywood \n Kevin, I’m pretty sure we held that stat previously with Pienaar? <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tSimon Jones Just a word on the supposed fee next season. Grealish was signed on a six year deal for a reported \u00a3100M in August 2021, that means two thirds of his contract is up, so if the fee is split across the six years (amortisation) then he’s currently worth roughly \u00a333.33M to City on their books and his worth would appear to be somewhat diminished after last season.<\/p>\n Therefore, why would we pay \u00a350M for him next year, when he’s a year older and worth \u00a316.66M on their books? Can someone cleverer explain to me why I’m wrong? <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tSi Pulford \n Saying Grealish is overweight is so lazy it\u0092s untrue. The lad has virtually no body fat. If recent photos are anything to go by he\u0092s in incredible shape. Athletic, talented, hard working and what\u0092s more. Prepared to play for Everton. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tKevin Molloy they may be onto something then Ernie?<\/p>\n that view has certainly gained traction over there<\/p>\n “In one. Fall over close to the angle of the penalty, get an underserved free kick and summon up the team of grocks. They\u0092ll be playing two freakishly tall forwards as well so you can see the direction their\u0092project\u0092 is heading” <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tJames Fletcher \n Simon #79 he’s worth that to them on their books because he only has one year left. To us it would be a longer contract and therefore worth more. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tGeoff Lambert \n Can we please start another thread entitled <\/p>\n \t\t\tJonathan Oppenheimer \n Simon 79 I can\u0092t imagine any English club pays \u00a350 million next year, but it protects City if he has an incredible season, because then the Saudi clubs come calling at that price. Otherwise, can\u0092t imagine us paying more than half that, assuming he\u0092s on top of his game and he wants to stay with us. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tDave Abrahams \n James (38) James don\u0092t let people suck all the joy out of this signing \u2014you think Jack is a great signing so stick with it and hopefully he will give you the satisfaction we all crave when we sign a big name\u2014I\u0092ll just leave it at that and if Jack fits the bill then we\u0092ll both be happy! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tSean Mitchell Fat, past it, piss head. Some depressing comments on here before he\u0092s even signed or kicked a ball. <\/p>\n Doomed if we sign, doomed if we don\u0092t sign. <\/p>\n Moshiri and the biggest con artist of all time aren\u0092t around anymore. Yet, you\u0092d think they were with some of the comments. <\/p>\n Get behind the player, ffs. <\/p>\n \t\t\tSam Hoare James@71 I\u0092m excited to see what Grealish can do but cannot agree with this:<\/p>\n \u201cYou build a flash new stadium, you need flash new players yet some people want ‘young players with sell on value’ and ‘players for the future’.\u201d<\/p>\n The ONLY way we can reach top 4 again is by buying players for the future, scouting them well and offering them opportunities the top 6 won\u0092t. You do not reach parity with the top teams only by getting players who are no longer good enough for them.<\/p>\n I think\/hope Grealish will do well and you can\u0092t have a team with only youngsters of course but the likes of Newcastle reached CL by mainly buying younger talents like Guimares, Isak, Hall, Livramento, Botman, Gordon, Tonali, Barnes, Minteh etc with a smattering of cheap older players like Burn, Trippier etc.<\/p>\n Hopefully Grealish can help us get up the league but if we ever want to eat at the top table again we\u0092ll need to develop some future stars to go with the fading ones. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tRyan Holroyd \n We\u0092ve bought young players Sam <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tAnthony Flack Doc and Harrison replaced by Grealish and KDH<\/p>\n I\u0092d say amazing upgrade <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tSam Hoare \n Ryan, yes we have. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tMick O’Malley \n Si spot on, he’s been training with a personal trainer to get him self spot on for the beginning of the season, I’m delighted and can’t wait to see him in a blue shirt, it makes a change from the usual sideways\/backwards passing tackling machines we usually sign. He’s a new dad so he’s leaving his bachelor getting pissed up clubbing days behind him, I’m really looking forward to seeing him in an Everton shirt, best of luck Jack. <\/p>\n \t\t\tBill Gall \n Everton this season need stability to maintain and improve their position from last season as there are clubs that finished below them investing heavily for improvements. <\/p>\n \t\t\tScott Hamilton Some of the negativity on here surprises me.<\/p>\n From the sound of it, our maximum outlay is \u00a312m.<\/p>\n The difference in prize money between finishing 9th in the Premier League as opposed to 13th? \u00a312m.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tAndrew Bentley Awesome if we get him in! Financially the commercial merchandise uplift alone should pay for a lot of this. We are going to get a lot more coverage and attention with Jack in the team. <\/p>\n Let\u0092s just hope Moyes can beat out the negative passing back that he had to do at City to recycle the ball. Jacks at his best going at players and trusting himself with the ball <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tJonathan Oppenheimer \n Ryan 88 and all your other comments, you\u0092d do well to stop treating TW and all the people who\u0092ve been posting on here with thoughtful posts for years like your Twitter account. The constant nitpicking, one-liners, no punctuation, it\u0092s all a bit much. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tRobert Tressell If we can now sign a decent RW and RB I think we leapfrog Brighton as having the 9th best squad and close the gap with Villa in 8th. That would be a heck of a leap from where Moshiri left us – with barely any daylight between us and promoted Leeds \/ Burnley at the end of June. <\/p>\n We have 3 weeks to do that – and also maybe pick up others too. <\/p>\n Still a long way to go but could be an exciting finish. Some pace please for the right flank TFG! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tChristy Ring \n I’m delighted to see Grealish joining us, and he definitely wants to prove Pep wrong and get back into the England squad for the World Cup.i hope he plays in his Villa position, not a left winger, he’s not overweight. Regarding Simon Jordan, who thinks he’s an expert on teamtalk, didn’t he bring Palace into administration? The Leicester winger would be another excellent signing, on the right wing, but we won’t get him for half the Dibling offer, he’ll be near the \u00a340m bracket in my opinion. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tRyan Holroyd \n Thanks for the advice Jonathan but I don\u0092t need it from you. But thanks all the same <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tKaren Mason \n I’m gutted to see this signing. Can only hope he fails the medical. He made it very clear when the rumours started, that playing for Everton was beneath him, and think he was quoted as saying he wouldn’t play for a David Moyes team. The fact that he is an over rated, over paid Prima Donna will not sit well in the dressing room. This could upset the whole balance and great spirit and atmosphere that Moysie has created at the club. He is a legend, but only in his own mind. If Pep can’t make a decent player of him, then ???? He contributed absolutely NOTHING positive at City which is why they want shut. I for one NEVER want to see him in an Everton shirt. Absolutely gutted if this does go through as the damage his presence may do in the dressing room could be disastrous and I’m usually a complete optimist. The only time I have felt this strongly about a signing was Maupay, and look how that turned out ! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tRyan Holroyd Robert <\/p>\n Do you not think we will go with O Brien and buy a back up right back?<\/p>\n Interested to hear your thoughts on the Norwich lad ? <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tAnnika Herbert Personally I am pleased with this news. I have always liked Grealish and there is no doubt he will improve our creativity.<\/p>\n If he can hit the same heights he achieved with Villa, then we have a real player on our I can understand there will be some doubters but I am more than happy to give him a chance to prove his detractors wrong <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tPaul Ellam \n Grealish merchandise will pay a lot of his loan fee so it’s well worth the gamble in my opinion. <\/p>\n \t\t\tDanny O’Neill Well, with Grealish, and potentially Dibling (or another), I make that 10 midfielders to fit 5 places, based on last seasons mostly used formation. If we bring in another, then it’s likely Oroegbunam or Armstrong could go on loan. Not that I want it, but likely to be Armstrong.<\/p>\n Scott @93, I get frustrated when I hear stability. Not aimed at you, it’s just you brought the word up!!<\/p>\n Also when I hear that 10-12th will be a good return. That’s little or no progress on last season.<\/p>\n Brentford have lost key players and a manager. Brighton have brought a few in, but lost Pedro. Bournemouth have lost two key players. Even Palace stand to lose Eze and their captain, Gushi.<\/p>\n My point is, we can’t strive for higher and leap frog those teams. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tDan Parker \n Fantastic signing and a statement of intent. Jack will have more freedom to play creative football as he did at Villa than Pep\u0092s possession obsessed style. Still feel we need another striker and RB\/LB cover. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tScott Hamilton Danny (103) – I\u0092m a bit confused as I didn\u0092t bring up the word \u2018stability\u0092!<\/p>\n All I was pointing out was that a modest move up the table, influenced by Grealish\u0092s on-pitch performance, would cover the cost of the loan deal, making it a no-brainer. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tLes Callan \n Not a fan then Karen ? <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tLes Moorcroft \n Well he’s to fat, to thin, piss head. Past it. Finished. Can’t run anymore. Football is back. Just enjoy the ride. It’s not your money. Fact. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tAshley Roberts \n I am hoping Grealish will be a great singing for us. There is no disputing he is a class player on his day. If he really wants to play in the World Cup next year then he will need to get his head down. Who cares that Southgate disregarded him. Southgate didn\u0092t have a clue!! What I think is telling is that when Carsley was appointed interim manager the first thing he did was bring Grealish back into the team and played him. That says it all for me. On his day a game winner. This is a no lose situation as far as I can see. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tNeil Thomas \n We\u0092ve signed cheap players in the last few seasons, and everyone moans, we sign a class player that was worth \u00a3100m and that\u0092s still not good enough for some of you. Comments about him drinking, honestly you make him sound like an alcoholic, when all he\u0092s done is have a drink while away on holiday when the season finished. And comments about his age, and that he\u0092s past it, is a complete joke. He\u0092s in his prime. And blaming him for his form at city, when it was Pep who\u0092s the idiot, for buying one of the best number 10s and then chucking him on the wing. When did he ever play there for Villa. It\u0092s like us paying \u00a350m for Dibling and playing in centre half. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tBrian Harrison \n I didnt think we had any chance getting this deal over the line, he will have a similar if not more important impact that James had. We will have a player who will receive the ball and not give it straight back to the opposition. He is a player who will demand the ball all the time a bit like Reidy which will give our players a breather. He can go past people he can score and he can pass the ball well. I see absolutely no down side to this move, he will be out to show Guardiola that played in the 10 role he is as good as anybody. Tutchel is a big admirer and Grealish will want to be back in the England squad. <\/p>\n \t\t\tRyan Holroyd Where is that from Karen @ 99<\/p>\n Because according to all reports Grealish is a top lad. <\/p>\n And reports have been he\u0092s wanted Everton all summer? <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tJonathan Oppenheimer \n Ryan 98, you\u0092re very welcome. I\u0092m pretty sure you do need the advice, and I trust you\u0092ll take it. Otherwise you\u0092ll just become a troll on here, and no one wants that. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tDanny O’Neill \n My bad Scott and apologies. I bounce around that many similar threads!! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\tRichard Nelson \n ..like Jack Grealish, a proper player, arrogant swagger, instant control, can “look after” the ball…but…does he slow the game down a bit too much ? hmmm ! <\/p>\n

Anyone saying about Pep not wanting him need to be a bit more rounded.
Pep paid \u00a3100m, he also gave him a new deal, played him a lot during his treble winning season also.
Yes he’s now done with him, but there aren’t many players we’ve had in a long while who any of the above would apply too, there’s definitely a player in there easily gold enough to be a big player at us, let’s hope he does it. <\/p>\n

Oops.
However. I am not put off.
I’ll make no predictions. But just say, any player who is clearly better than alternatives we have, who doesn’t break the bank, has to be worth a punt.
We still need the obvious, full backs, speedy winger and a goal scorer. But this is still a step up. And if the others can be dealt with, ideally promptly, then we are beginning to look stronger as a squad than last year.
KDH and Grealish for Doucoure? Tick
Anzou for out of position player covering? Tick
Barry for absent or injured strikers? Tick (maybe)
Rome wasn’t built in a day. We are improving our prospects.

A good age at 29 although not the quickest of players. Skillful, can beat players and can pick out a pass, also calm in front of goal.
He needs to understand though that he’s coming to a team where he will need to work his socks off and probably act as a talisman to the other players.
Good business on a loan.
Another piece of the jigsaw.
Next please.

The lad still has plenty to offer and shows ambition for me.
Sure we still need other areas covered but this IS a statement signing and will hopefully lead to others wanting to come play with him.

Expect Jack to be used on quick transitions like KDH, along with Illman and a right winger, we are going to scare some teams.
Moyes has a plan of attack and Jack will be a massive part of it.
Welcome to Everton, put the shift in and the fans will adore you. Hopefully it wont do your England chances any harm either. <\/p>\n

“Do you remember when Grealish was at Villa and he set the record for the “most fouled” player in a PL campaign ever? He won 167 free kicks in one season. That is what Moyles is looking for. An absolute key Moyles tactic is for players to go down in the opposition half so that they can lump the freekick into the box. The other outfield players might be given the role of running their bollocks off, but the plan for Grealish will be for him to get the ball at his feet and then fall over. Put your money on him being the “most fouled” player again this season – that is going to be Everton’s main plan of attack.” <\/p>\n

In Grealish we are receiving a quality player who is out of our price range for a standard transfer. We have a player who has a motivation in getting into the World Cup that he will only get by being fit, motivated and proving his abilities.
We needed a quality player, we have got one, lets not criticize his past but look at what he is capable of in an Everton Royal Blue shirt.
The price we may be paying for him still leaves room for other signings without breaking financial rules. <\/p>\n
