Joyful, I am seeing reports linking us with Grealish. Surley this is just media hype! . we could never afford him, even if City do pay towards his wages. Any thoughts?

This one definitely comes down to how much City are willing to subsidize and what wages/bonus he expects. I understand we have some decent room in the wage bill but nowhere near enough for the 300k p/w he's getting at City. They'd have to pay 2/3 or more and even then it's doubtful WH would be willing in the current atmosphere.

As far as the player goes I think he would come here if offered. He wants to stay in England and wants playing time.

Yeah, interest started about a month ago, there are many factors at play here, 1. Does he want to play at WH. 2 Would City Waive loan fee 3 depends on a possible Man City contribution on wages 4 can WH pay his full 290 k a week wages The first three points cannot be answered at present, on Wages, after 8 people have left so far, and only 2 have joined, WH have more than 500 k a week available, BUT would they want to pay out, 60% of that, on one player? I have my doubts on that, IF the first three points fall in line, I could see WH signing him on loan, and pay him 150 k a week contribution, hope that helps Joyfull
