Is anyone not going after Grealish this summer... looks a class above still to me.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Would you want Tammy loaned at Villa again if they don't make it to the Premier League?
@FootballHQ, Well done mate.
All the victims of his subsequent serial monogamy.
Have to say Grealish looks a good player. Would be great for Leicester or a side hoping to push the top six/four next season.
He has 60m buyout clause in his new deal.
He'll go if we don't go up. Probably 30m.
Delighted to win that. I was more impressed with us in first half, second half we were looking very laboured and thought Dean Smith was too slow making changes. Hourihane goal has changed everything in this tie.
Gayle out for second leg is huge.
No space at Leicester unless Maddison leaves.
I didn't know that he works so hard for Villa, I always assumed the opposite. He's everywhere on the pitch.
Ok thanks x
Hold fire, got the feeling Leeds will turn us over in the final if we both make it.
Don't really see the point of that. Tammy himself won't want another season outside of the Prem.
I don't play board games.
I think Grealish would be a good signing for us, probably not at the release clause but no way are Villa getting that for him anyway. He can't do any worse than the other muppets we have here already.
Missed it. How did Tuanzebe do?
Love the way he moves out wide and becomes a quasi winger on either flank. He is getting better at releasing the ball and using his team mates to get himself out of dead end situations.
Obviously nowhere near that level yet but he plays in similar way to David Silva floating all over the pitch from a central position and dictating play.
Was Silva a central or wide player when he first signed for Man. City? Grealish is someone any top club could develop into a special player.
Silva was a leftish midfielder when he joined City, but someone who came off the flank - very similar to Mata in those days. He's evolved into a proper attacking midfielder, albeit still retains that ability to mix it up out wide.
Grealish has been centre of the pitch since day one, but you can clearly tell he's comfortable when he's drifted out wide.
He seems tailor made for United if Pogba leaves, or fill the Coutinho sized hole in Liverpool's midfield.
I think Maddison is more economical but Grealish has the higher ceiling if developed correctly. Both would be useful squad players in a top side at the bare minimum and much better than say Lingard.
Not bad. Good pace (which helps him in a few situations) and decent passing...
Nothing to set the world alight but West Brom spent a good amount of time back (especially after the first half) so not massive challenged.
Tidy.
Thanks!
Obviously. I suggested him a while back, not until I heard about his new release clause. If Villa could lower their demand to 30mil, it would be good.
Not the greatest pictures .... I'm still 50/50 but he'd also had a foul just before. Maybe ref thought that's enough.
Derby have David Nugent leading the line.
Would still expect Leeds in the final. Pontus Jansson out for them though.

I heard Bamford is also out?
I can see a 0-0 here.
Think he got two match ban so will be available for second leg.
Good v Evil here.
come on Derby!
come on Derby!
Pretty fast paced this.
Derby started well, Leeds have the upper hand now though.
Cracking effort by Phillips exactly how I'd have struck it!
exactly how I'd have struck it!This game has died off, proper crap.
HT 0-0.
silly billy question, but are these play-offs 2 legs or are they all 90 minute knock outs?
2 legs in this semi round
Cheers!
Why is there always a Nugent plying their trade in the Championship? It’s the British equivalent of Diarra or Dembele.
It's the same Nugent ...
Leeds ahead Roofe. 0-1.
What a pass
Beauty pass, this roofe fella is an absolute nightmare for Derby to cope with.
Great goal from Leeds.
